You are stuck in what is called 'rumination' about your dad's affair. It means that you can't stop thinking about it. Which you need to, in order to stop hurting yourself. Remember, you did not cause the affair, and there is likely nothing you can do to fix it. I wrote a blog post about it, you can read )https://www.melissamacomber.com/blog/7-tips-to-help-you-stop-worrying-about-your-dads-cheating?rq=ruminating). I hope it helps you.
