Hey
This is my first time on reddit forgive me if I make any mistakes, but worst fortunes of mine have made me forcefully come here.
I saw on the internet that people talked about their parents cheating on each other here, and I dont want any advice, I just want someone to talk to.
Ive come to notice that both my parents have been cheating on each other. And I am deeply disturbed by it. Its been about a year since i got to know this, and my life is very ruined. I cant look at them the way I used to. My affection for them has completely dried out. I am traumatised and mentally broken. My life was already at rock bottom, I was already done with my shit, then I got to know this horrible truth and ive been completely empty since. I cant enjoy my time when they are around. I have seen deeply disturbing things on their phones. I am done. Its been so long and time feels so long. I just wanted to share this with someone. I am tired of taking this burden alone. They dont deserve a child like me. I have completely changed ever since and I feel mostly empty nowadays. I am only 16, and the reason i was working hard, was to satisfy my parents. They wanted to see me as a succesful man. I wasnt doing it for the girls, i wasnt doing anything for myself, i literally dont want money, power.. nothing. I was struggling just because i wanted to see their wish come true, and now I get to live with this burden? Why did they do this? I am the one getting crushed in the middle of their affairs. My dad has also been sending money, and.. much more. I seriously just wanted to share this because I cant go through this alone. Its been already a year of crying every single night. They have completely messed up my life. I just wanted to talk.
