Dear Aunty Lisa,
I am writing to you with a heavy heart and a sense of confusion. A few days ago, I walked in on my father in bǝd with the wife of our neighbour. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and felt like my world had been turned upside down.
Since then, I have been struggling to come to terms with what I witnessed. I am not sure what to do or how to confront my father about what I saw.
I feel like I am in a difficult position because I don’t want to betray my father’s trust by telling anyone about what I saw. At the same time, I feel like I need to do something to address the situation. I am worried about the impact this will have on our family and our relationship with our neighbours.
Aunty Lisa, please tell me what I can do to handle this situation. I am really struggling and need your advice.
Signed,
Confused and Worried

Dear Confused and Worried,
I am sorry to hear about the difficult situation you find yourself in. It must have been sh0cking and upsetting to walk in on your father in such a compr0mising position. However, it is important to remember that your father is human and is capable of making mistakes.
It is understandable that you are feeling conflicted about what to do next. You are right to be concerned about the impact this could have on your family and your relɑtionship with your neighbours. It is important to approach this situation with sensitivity and tact.
Before taking any action, it may be helpful to speak to your father about what you saw. You can express your concern and let him know how you feel without being confrontational. It may be a difficult conversation, but it is important to have open and honest communication with your family.
At the same time, it is important to respect your father’s privacy and not share this information with others unless it is absolutely necessary. You can also seek the support of a trusted friend or family member to help you process your emotions and make sense of what you witnessed.
Remember, it is not your responsibility to fix this situation or to judge your father for his actions. All you can do is express your concerns and provide support where needed. I hope this advice helps you navigate this difficult situation.
Best regards,
Aunty Lisa
