I just discovered that my dad is seeing escorts/ or paying for sex. This is a shocker because he just turned 70 years old this year. I found this out because he forgot his cell phone at my apartment over the weekend. We have the same phones so I mistook his phone for mine. He has been married to my mom for the last 40 years or more. I do not know how long this has been going on, but at least a year that I know. He is the most loving, wonderful caring dad who is always there for me when I need him. I am not good with keeping secrets. I do not want to keep this secret either. I want to tell him that I know but am afraid of losing our close bond. Unfortunately, I do not have a good relationship with my mother or brother. This has shattered my view of him as the moral person I thought I knew all my life. I am looking for advice and comments, I am afraid for his safety and well being. I am also afraid for the safety of my mother and our finances. It appears from the text messages these hook ups he pursues are after money as their primary goal.
