AS THE TEEN FOUND OUT THAT THEIR FATHER WAS CHEATING ON THEIR MOTHER, THE TEEN HAD EXPOSED THEIR FATHER IN AN ARGUMENT, IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE FAMILY

As the teen was in good terms with their dad, after found out that he was cheating on his wife, the whole thing exploded in the argument, when their father had tried to humiliate the teen, in font of the whole family.
The teen had shared the story on social media platform, Reddit’s r/AITA subreddit. The teen had explained that with their father, was not in a perfect relationship, as he was not around so much, as the OP was growing.
The OP, had continued to explain their relationship with their family as, “he has a job high up at some bank so he works super long hours and goes on lots of business trips. Siblings and I were basically raised only by my Mom, and I’m really close with her. We barely talk and when we do it’s about how shit my grades are in school that I’ll never amount to anything if I keep it up, I try to avoid being around him.”

As the OP grow, they had started to figure out the strange behaviours of their father, as they stated, “As I got older (I’m 16 now), I started noticing my Dad’s weird behaviour. I remember a few months ago he came home super late and I could smell a little perfume on him. I didn’t really think much of it until he left his phone on the table one day and a text notification popped up saying “last night was amazing, can’t wait to see you again” and a bunch of cringey ass emojis.”
The OP immediately talked with their mother, in regards of the messages the OP found at dad’s phone. “I was pretty shook when I saw that message ngl. I told my Mom about what I saw and she didn’t look surprised at all. She got pretty emotional which I felt bad about, and told me not to worry and that i should just worry about being a kid and let her take care of the rest, so I just let it go cause I didnt want to hurt her more.”
And one day, the whole family gathered in the grandparents home. On the dinner, the cousin had announced that he got a new job, and father of the OP, had mocked the OP, with that announcement.

The OP continued as, “I just ignored him and kept eating. My Uncle agreed saying how hard it was to get through to young people nowawadays, and my Dad said it’s because there was no respect and I never respected him.”
As they lost it, the OP said, “I was so tired of his shit and without thinking I said back, “hard to respect you when you openly cheat on Mom and don’t even try to hide it”.”
Then the father had accused the mother as, “Everyone went silent, and my Dad looked beyond pissed. He asked my Mom wtf I was talking about and told her that she had spoiled and ruined me.”
And she lost it too, so a huge argument had started. “They started arguing and then after a couple minutes of everyone else trying to calm them down, my Mom told me and my siblings that we were leaving and told my Dad not to come home.”
Then the relatives started to harass the OP, as, “When we got home my phone started blowing up. On the group chat I have with my cousins they said I was a massive dick for publicly airing private stuff. I also got a few texts/voicemails from my Uncles telling me I ruined my parents marriage and that I should stick my nose out of adult shit.”
The OP concluded their story as, “I felt pretty guilty about what happened and apologized to my Mom. She said that she understood my frustration and I probably should have expressed it better privately but what’s done is done. I’ve also gotten a few calls from my Dad but I’ve ignored all of them. He hasn’t come home yet, probably staying at one of his mistresses houses.”

Here are some of the comments from Redditors.
“MASSIVELY NTA, but I’m a firm believer in publicly calling bullshit where relevant. You also gave your mom the push to get out of a bad relationship. She was probably working hard to deny it or “stay together for the kids”, but his infidelity has a negative effect on the whole family.”
“OP should text his cousins and uncles back: ”You’re saying I ruined their marriage for telling the truth? No, my dad’s wandering dick is what ruined their marriage. Stop supporting adultery.””

“Also OP, despite what your uncle said, you are NOT responsible for the breakup of your parents marriage (if it happens) so don’t feel guilty over that part of it. Your Dad did this to himself, you merely called him out on it. Blaming the kids is a sucker’s way of distributing blame, but it’s only shooting the messenger.”
