Dear Queenie,
My father is cheating on my mother. I found out by accident while I was using his computer and there is no mistake about it. I told him I would tell Mom if he didn’t make an end to it, but I know she will stick with him anyway.
Now I’m having trouble trusting my boyfriend because of the idea that all men are alike even though I have no real reason to doubt him.
Queenie, help!—Cheater’s daughter
Dear Daughter,
Not all men are like your father, as I am sure you realise in your calmer moments. Professional counselling probably would help you ease your mind on that issue.
Meanwhile, do not interfere in what is entirely your parents’ business. You cannot control what your father does or does not do, your mother may or may not know what he is up to and, if she knows, what she does about it is entirely up to her.
