better than before

My father was also a cheater. I was only 5, but I remember meeting the woman( mom went nuts over that)! My mother found out on Father's Day when mistress 1 came to tell her about mistress 2; devastating for my mother. They did manage to move past all this after almost divorce. It is so hard to witness these things, but I know my parents did really love each other. They were married 22 years before my father took his own life. His funeral was the day of their 23 anniversary. He had so many demons; told his friends he didn't deserve me or my mother. I miss him so much, but at least he is at peace. Life can throw crazy things at you. On a positive, dealing with suicide of my dad at 18 and my H's EA have shown me that I am a fighter, not a victim. I have derived a lot of confidence from this ability to accept these things, learn what I can, and pick up the pieces. I do believe that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger! I also understand my dad and my H better after being on this forum. Thanks to all who share their experiences.
