My life has just taken an unexpected but unsuprising turn. I really need a friend, in fact i think i really need Sarah. About a week ago a recieved an anonamous text message saying my step-dad was having an affair with someone called Claire Tarr who i don't know. Of course being curious i phoned my brother who still lives at home to get an idea of what was going on there. After a few phone calls to both my brother and my step-dad i was told it was only a rumor and there was no truth in it. During this converstation i also discovered that the text message had been sent by a friend of mine Helen Davey. That of course got me thinking about her motives in the whole situation, of course i questioned my friendship with her.
About an hour ago i recieved another text message from my step-dad himself, to my suprise admitting everything. Saying that he was sorry for his lies and that he had been having an affair with this Claire Tarr who it turns out i do kind of know as a friends ex, the reason i didnt know who she was, was that her surname is different. Of course since she's on facebook im not going to say who but this suprised me.
So now the current situation is that my mum is sat with this Claire, my step-dad and his sister Trudi in an attempt to sort out this situation. My brothers & sisters are due back from school anytime soon. It looks like my parents are going to split up, the worst part about it is that my mum new it was possible that he might go astray due to her being married when they got together but even when my step-dad had been caught he still did fess up. So any chance of him rescuing the situation he blew right out of the water.
I'm worried that i'm not going to be able to cope with another messy divorce. I'm scared that my step-dad will actually hit my mum when he loses his temper since he has a short fuse and hes punch me infront of a bunch of people before. I'm worried that it will effect my brothers simon's university application, my brother stephen's GCSE's but most of all i'm worried that my younger brother and sister Kaley and Joseph our going to get pushed and pulled about by this all.
I really, really don't know what to do. I have so much uni work to do, money worries and now this but my mum really doesn't have anybody else to turn too. I'm lost.....
