After my mother's death, my father (54 years old) is involved in extra marital affair with an unmarried neighbour girl (25). Nobody knows about their affair except our family. Me (23) & my sister (21) tried our best to make my father understand that this is not the right time to do all these things, but he is not listening to us & not ready to understand. It seems useless for him to have affair with her because there is no future of this relationship. Age gap is also huge. Her parents also don't know about it. Neither we can tell about it to them, because they will target our family & ruin our life. They can also file police complain against our whole family if they gets to know about it. I am sure they will also deny this relationship. Took our relatives help too, but it didn't work. Don't know what to do. Can you please help ??

Ans: Hello mam..This could be a part of mid life crisis and he could feel this extra marital affair to be coping mechanism after trauma, your mother's death. Your father should definitely think about his children and their future. Are you and your sister working or studying? I would like to know a little further about your present status so that i can suggest you something better.
Kindly do reply.
Regards

We are students, but unable to focus on our studies due to current situation. We both got less marks. All our relatives don't want to ruin the relation with him. So, they are not saying anything & keeping themselves out of this. Everyone left us helpless. Father scold us if we misbehave with that girl (with whom he is having affair). After mother's death, my father didn't pay studies fees on time. Due to this, our 2 years wasted. He has enough money, but he is spending the money on that girl. Looks like they have physical relationship too. Father loves us, but in case of that girl, father favours her more. All our money are tracked by father.
