A 16-year-old took to Reddit to find out if they were at fault for exposing their father’s infidelity in front of their family. Before jumping to the main story, the teenager described their relationship with their father.

While growing up, the teen and the teen’s siblings’s father was mostly away from home because of work. The man would stay at his workplace for long hours and often traveled to other cities.

He was barely at home with his family.”Siblings and I were basically raised only by my Mom, and I’m really close with her,” the teenager revealed. The teen avoided talking to the father because the man only spoke about the kid’s poor performance at school.

The man always told the Redditor to improve their grades or else things would get complicated.
