so my dad just moved back down 2 the city i live in from another city that was about 3 hours away after breaking up with his girlfriend of 4 years. he was so excited that we were getting everything straightened out in his new apartment and that he could start working 2 jobs.my brother, sister, and i go 2 his house every other weekend so that we can see him. we were all really excited to get 2 spend time with him at the new place and he seemed to be excited too. when it got to be thursday (the night before we go over there), he decided that he had to work at his other job that night, and that he wouldnt be able to come home until 9 pm. that was fine because i had to work at my job, and my brother had a party. so that just leaves my little sister who decided to just hang out with my mom. then, friday morning comes around, and he calls my mom telling her that we can not spend the night @ his house because he is going out on a date. then he tells her "oh, its ok, just drop the kids off at my moms house." my mom got upset because he was changing plans at the last moment and she didnt want to throw us all at grandma because that isnt fair, so mom decided to keep us.i still had no idea of this until mom called my cellphone when i was on the bus. she said "u arent going 2 dads tonight afterall" and i questioned her as to why, and she replied with "he has other plans."i thought this was outrageous and got really upset and demanded my mom to tell me the real truth as to why he would cut my siblings and i off like that. my mom was in tears because she new it would upset me so she said "the truth is honey, he is going on a date with a girl he met on the internet."that made me outraged with anger. i couldnt understand why after all thsi time that my dad told us that we were the most important things in his life and that he would always be there for us and that he never wanted to lose time with us. then i wondered why he would go on a date with someone he only met on the internet only a WEEK after he had broken up with his girlfriend of 4 years. i cried and cried 4 the jerk that he was.my mom didnt tell my siblings why he decided not to take us, because she thought they were too young to understand.the next morning, dad called and was ready 2 take us. but i was still pissed from the night before and i picked up the phone and said "dad, im not ready 2 come over yet. u werent ready 4 us lastnight, and im not ready 4 u now." he told me that was fine and that he'd b there in an hour.so he came and picked us up, but the 1st thing he did, was drove us all the way over to her house and brought her some food because she was supposedly sick. this visit lasted over 20 minutes, and it was supposedly only a friend. oooook, right.then the rest of the day went ok because we were out shopping and such, but as soon as we got back 2 his apartment, he got back on the phone with her.i thought nothing of it at first, but then it all began to click. that they were dating.i was upset and would not talk 2 him for the rest of the night. the next morning, everything seemed to be going fine, until she called again. i heard him say "ill see you later." and not even 10 minutes later he dropped us off at home.i know that what he is doing is wrong and we only get 2 c him 2 days out of a month. 24 days a year. he is going 2 regret the time that he missed with us one of these days, and he will never live it down. it will haunt him 4 the rest of his life.i just dont know what to do about this. i dont want 2 talk 2 him straight up about it, because im not sure how he will take it.
