So tonight I was going to down the basement to do look for some things, and I happened to happen upon an envelope with naked pics of my father accompanying another woman who is not my mom. I was quite shocked. Now I need to know a way to get out of this situation. Any ideas? I don't think I can live with the guilt of holding this knowledge in, but I don't wanna stir up anything that would lead to divorce.

Update: image image2 proof?

Going to talk to my sister about this when I see her, and we'll both decide what to do.

Turns out the woman in the photos is my dad's cousin.

Haven't told anyone about what I uncovered, but wondering if it's a good idea.

you sure it's not your mom w/ a wig?

just know your decision should not be made out of malice, anger, or revenge. How you handle this situation will forever affect the lives of you, your parents, and your siblings. Stop, take a deep breath, and think about what you should do with the knowledge you now have.

How old were the photos? Are you concerned that this might still be going on? I dunno, this might be a situation where you tell no one and try your damndest to forget about it. If you feel like you need to do something, then I would definitely get your dad's story first. Be prepared for the consequences, though. If your mom needs to hear about it, make sure she does.

That said, have you considered that maybe your mom knows about the photos? Otherwise, it seems pretty stupid to leave something like that in the house.

Just like LTPage1 said there are a lot of factors here. How old are the pics? If before your parents got married then I would say just put the photos back and forget them. If later, then specify and we can advise you from there. Also how old are you?

Unless there is some compelling reason to tell anyone (besides ATOT, with pics posted of course) about this then put the pics back where you found them and shut up. I can't think of any way in which your sharing your new found discovery with anyone would improve your life or your parents' lives. Your family situation may dictate otherwise but I can't imagine how.

yeah, if these are really old pictures, it could be that this was from before your parents got married.

Not necessarily. My best friend found his dad's porno stash (I'm talking like 200 mags, 500 tapes) in 8th grade and blackmailed the shit out of him.

I just recalled this guy I knew in high school. He caught his step-dad cheating on his mom, and blackmailed him for cars. The kid had quite an assortment of rides.

I was just thinking about that. Give your dad one pic and let him know how much you'd like a new video card for mid-winter happy day.
