writes: Hello. I'm a teenage girl (don't want to reveal my age) and live at home with both my parents. We have always been a really close family and they have been married for nearly 20years. However, I recently found on my Dad's mobile phone some texts from another woman. And to be honest, they made me feel physically sick. I have just started a really important year of my life and cannot bear the thought that something is going to happen and my family will be torn apart. What should I do? Please help me because I havn't been myself since and don't know what to do. xXxXx

 talk to your dad and demand the truth if he tryes to lie then tell him he has to tell you or else you will tell your mom! then explain that your really upset and ask him not to do this to your and his family! but even so if he is not happy with your mom any more then i dont think you should let your dad suffer although he may deserve it! but youll still see your dad maybe weekend or maybe more than that, and i know what your going to think i dont want to see him just weekend i want to see him every day but atleast you have a dad to see ive never had one! but still if your dad tells you is unhappy ask him to still see you and keep in touch. if its just a fling then tell him it has to stop now!

 As with Sarah below, I also suggest confronting your dad about it, but don't leak it out to the rest of your family, as this may have a devastating effect on everyone else. However, what type of texts are these? Are these just friendly banter, casual chit chat, or what?

 Hi, im a teenage girl too.
And i know EXACTLY how u feel because not long ago i found weird texts from women on my dads mobile and my parents have also been married EXACTLY 20 years.
u probably think im lying but as soon as i saw your post i had to read it and im personally shocked that someone knows EXACTLY how i feel.
so i just wanted to let u know ure not alone with this problem. but im truly very sorry i do not have any advice for you as im going through the same thing....x
hope everything works out great for your parents and for you!

This has obviously come as a great shock as you are a close family.Maybe you need to sit down with your dad and have a calm chat about your findings and ask him to explain.Ask him whether this indescretion is worth destroying your family.Remind him this is an important year for you and any disruption or problems would be better avoided.Tell him it must stop.....Good luck.
