My dad cheated on my mom plenty of times, that's how a lot of Colombian men used to be and my dad had very important jobs so he had a lot of women going after him. My mom put up with it because she didn't want to break the family and she always envisioned growing old with my dad. But when I was 11 my mom went on a trip with her girlfriends and my dad took advantage to be with his lover and left us with our nanny all weekend. Upon his return I noticed his white shirt had lipstick all over the neckline and I did something that I have never told my mom, or even my dad. I hand washed his shirt so when my mom arrived she wouldn't notice. I guess my young heart knew the consequences of his actions and I wanted to shield my mom from the pain. However, my effort was worthless because the next day my dad told my mom that he was leaving her for this other woman who was 17 years younger than him. They got married had a daughter (my younger half sister who I adore) but after a few years things didn't workout and they too got divorce. It took years for my mom to forgive my dad but she finally did. Now days both ladies are married and my dad has been single for two decades lol. Thankfully all has been forgiven and my mom and dad are now good friends, he even spent the last few days at her house when he visited us this weekend as my mom house is more spacious than mine.
