What to do about my dad?

Have name changed for this...

Long story but the edited highlights are basically that I think my Dad is having an affair with a woman from his work.

I have confronted him twice over the last 18 months, the first time I dropped hints and the last time I came right out and asked him. Both times he has denied any affair.

Now, the dilemma is, what about my Mum? Have not voiced any suspicion to her at all but I have a feeling from small things she's said that she thinks the same as me. She has suffered with anxiety and depression from almost all her adult life, am afraid this would ruin her.

I know I should probably just butt out but I am angry that we should even be put in the position that we have any doubts or suspicions at all. It's like waiting for a car crash to happen and I feel totally powerless to stop it......Am not expecting and advice really, just felt like writing it down.

oh sweetheart you are ebing protective of your mother and i think that anyone in your situation would do the same. maybe next time your mom says something "funny" like that, you could ask her what she means by it and take things from there?
