• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of a heavy one, but I've never
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: told anybody this, actually, not even my sister. But a
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago, I helped cover up our dad's affair.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So my parents have been unhappily married for
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: a long time, as far as I can remember. Honestly,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I can't really think of a time where I looked
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: at them and thought they really loved each other. It's
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: been pretty rocky for most of my childhood. And I
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: hate saying this because she's my mom, but she's always
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: treated my dad like crap, really, really bad. My sister
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and I both saw it growing up, not just me. Obviously,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: when we were kids, we didn't really understand or get
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: that what was going on. But as I got older, yeah,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: as I got older, especially as an adult now, my
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: dad and I started having some pretty serious talks. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: he's told me more than once that the only reason
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: why he stayed with me Our mom was because of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the kids, of us, you know. But my mom is
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: just a very unhappy, you know, I hate saying this
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: about my mother, but she's kind of a miserable, miserable person.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, I accidentally found my dad
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: out with another woman. And that was very, yeah, that
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: was very awkward.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You found out about another or you saw them out?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So I was.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Meeting a friend at this random hotel bar one night
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and I walked in and saw my dad sitting there
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: with a woman. And you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: was actually, it definitely shocked me because if you knew
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: my dad, you'd never think this is that he was
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the guy to be doing this, you know? Right.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You don't, you don't expect that ever, no matter
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: what's going on.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: No, not at all. But so later that night he
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: called me and basically he came clean to me on
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the phone. He broke down and he, and he told
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: me like, he's been very unhappy for many, many years.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And he apologized to me because he felt like he
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: was setting a terrible example. And he just, He just
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: was feeling really guilty. He was completely embarrassed, too.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: At the same time.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Obviously, I wasn't happy about it, and I wasn't happy
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: with him, and I told him that. But I also
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: was way more understanding than I thought I would be
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: because of the situation at home.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: But then what happened was my mom started getting suspicious.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: She was, like, questioning where my dad had been that
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: one night. And somehow I got dragged into it. Call
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it fate or whatnot. But she asked me something about
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: whether I was with him or not. And it just
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: came out of me. I automatically lied for him. Wow.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. you knew what was going on. You knew that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: your dad was obviously doing something that was wrong. And
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you said, no, I, I know I was with him
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that night. So I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I told my mom that my dad had been with me.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And even though I knew he wasn't obviously, and my
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: sister still doesn't even know any of this. As far
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: as I know, the only two people who really know
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I lied were, you know, are me and my dad.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Um, eventually my dad told me that, uh,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: he ended things with, with that woman. And, um, you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I genuinely thought that he was finally going to divorce
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: my mom at that point and just let her know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That's what I was going to ask you. I was
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: going to ask you if they're still together, because if
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you said a couple of years ago, did they end
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: up obviously splitting up or whatever, but they, they're, are
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they still together? Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Well, this is what started happening. This is even, it
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: got even, you know, more awkward because my mom, um,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: unfortunately started having some really pretty bad, serious health problems.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And now I think my dad just feels like trapped
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and all over again, or not really trapped, but feels
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: guilty if he were to leave her now. And, you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: this is for a completely different reason. She really doesn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: have anyone else to take care of her. And there's
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: no way he's going to leave her while she's sick.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So, Yeah, that's that's see, I don't think anybody should
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: be cheated on ever.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I don't care how miserable they are, how they treat someone. Then,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you know, and I understand at the same time why
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a guy would stay in a in a relationship for
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the kids. I think people do it a lot. Yeah,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I think women do it a lot. I think it happens,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but I just, it never ends well, never ends well.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, when I've watched somebody get treated like
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: absolute crap for years and you know, the entire story
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: behind closed doors, you know, things don't always seem as
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: black and white as you think they're supposed to be.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So I can understand why he did what he did.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I just wish I never saw it or never got
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: in the middle or put in the position of knowing
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: any of it. I don't, I really didn't. it builds
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: resentment with things. And now if she ever found out,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: she'd be so mad at me, you know?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Do you regret covering up for him? I do.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I, well, it's like half and half.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I don't because I love my father and I'm looking out,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I want to look out for him and I want
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: him to be happy, but I do because I just
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: feel like, you know, it's just not fair to my
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: mother to not know any of this stuff. And just,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: so yeah, if I were to pick one, I would say, yeah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I feel, I regret it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big burden to carry.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, it sure is.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Sure is. I feel like after to like if somebody's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: acting that miserable and she's that upset and she just
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: seems like she's always disgruntled. Usually there's a reason behind that. Right.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying she's right. You have to address it, though.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And maybe he tried. Maybe there was, you know, some
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: people are in a mental state that is just not
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a good place. So they're acting out or they're acting
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like that for a reason. And you got to get
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to the real source of the problem. You can't pick
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: sides just based on the surface. Yeah. But it is
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: what it is now. And I don't think you could
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: feel too bad. It's not like you're going to go
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: back and tell your mom now while she's dealing with
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: health issues. And I hope she gets better and I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: hope it works out. But either way, that's powerful. So
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: thank you for your secret and your confession.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you, guys.
• 6:44
