<human>: So my dad had an affair, i posted about it here but deleted it soon after. My parents have been married 25 years. It was hard at first, i saw my mom cry like never before, i had nightmares. I was a daddy's girl that just lost all respect for my dad, not only because he cheated but because he was so self righteous and religious so the hypocrisy got to me. Also getting emotionally wrecked, backstabbed by someone else is one of my biggest fear and he just became the embodiement of it. My parents are working on their marriage and it's their business. I have emotionally disengaged from both of them as it is detrimental to my emotional stability.

My problem is that my relationship with my dad has been completely altered. I don't trust him anymore. I don't tell him about my life. I'm just generally distant from him. I don't tell him my concerns anymore or my plans for the future. I feel abandoned. I used to be really close to him. He was the parent i was closest to, so i feel alone now. He is a *cheater* and i can't reconcile that fact with the image i have of him. I knew he wasn't perfect, i reproach him a lot of things even but that is something i just can't get over. I wish we could get our old relationship back but i know i wouldn't be able to. I kind of don't know what i feel towards him.  I respected him a lot, hell i thought i would want my partner to be as reliable of a man but now i'm just dumbfounded. It's been a month and i still can't move on. I haven't seen him in a week and now i dread coming home. I don't know what to tell him? He is a bit like a stranger to me now.
I don't know what to do about it. I feel like the relationship will just keep on being more and more damaged.

Please refrain from ''You don't know what happened between your parents etc...'' this post isn't about them.

Give me a shortened version of the text
