Self report

By Anonymous - 25/05/2009 14:55 - United States

Today, I snuck out of my house in the middle of the night. I ran into my dad carrying wine into another house. I didn't assume he was cheating until he saw me and said, "I won't tell if you don't tell, please don't tell your mother." FML

Wow that sucks, you should definitely tell your mom.

=( @67: Yes, you can't deny that it is extremely common and a lot of mothers prefer the "don't tell me and I don't know" if they have kids and don't want to ruin the marriage, but that still doesn't make it right. That's like saying fatal car accidents happen every minute so it's perfectly normal and okay, and people shouldn't complain when their parents die in one.

HAH THATS AWESOME ! What an awesome deal. Now you can do whatever you want for the rest of your life.

How could someone think that he deserved that?

i agree with #9. use it. and then maybe instead of telling her. help her to figure it out. like be really obvious sneaking out next time so she follows you. or something like that. maybe say something about how he's been buying so many things (like wine) and ask what they've been doing with all them. you know? make her wonder until she gets curious enough to figure it out. either that or tell your dad to stop being a dick and stop cheating.

black mailing is immature. do the mature thing and tell him, "if you don't tell, i will."

Tell him, "either you tell her or I will." It was a completely dick move on his part to ask you to keep that kind of a secret from your mother.

Yeah, your dad is a piece of crap

I know you don't want to get in trouble, and I'm sure you love your dad, but you need to tell your mom. Be totally honest and say that you were sneaking out (so that when your dad tries to hold that over your head, you're already in the clear) but that you saw him taking wine into a different house and repeat what he said to you. Now, it's very possible that your father will say "Oh well s/he is just trying to get out of trouble since I caught him/her" but stick to your story. The key is honesty. If you hide nothing then you won't be victim to any of your father's tricks. Eventually all liars trap themselves into corners. Sometimes it takes years for that to happen, but one way or another your dad will get busted. Out of love for your mother, make it sooner rather than later.

I agree with 118. You may have snuck out but everything happens for a reason. I seriously doubt your mom is going to be mad at you for sneaking out after you tell her about your dad. She has the right to know, and it's not fair to you for him to ask you to keep such a big secret. And besides if you keep sitting on this it is going to grow and fester inside of you and come out in other ways. I think you need to get it all out before this get worse and ruins you.
