My dad cheated on my mom with a woman 20+ years younger than him and they were married for 32 years. I am so angry and I have so much hate that I just don't know what to do. My sister and brother have talked to him since it happened in August but I just can't I don't want to see him. I don't even like thinking about him anymore. My mom deserved better than that.

You aren't alone, trust me. My dad's girlfriend is a year younger than my older sister. He is living with this woman who is literally half his age (30 years younger). I hated him for the first year. You should tell your dad how you feel, that he's a jackass, that he ruined your life, that you used to love him and the ONE man you thought you could rely on ended up being the biggest disappointment in your life. People will tell you to forgive and forget and I tried for such a long time to overlook it and pretend it didn't bother me. It came to a head when dad wouldn't come up for my parents weekend this year because my mom was going to be there. I had to let it out and tell him how I felt. Believe it or not, after that I was actually able to rebuild somewhat of a relationship with him. People don't understand what it's like to have a cheating parent until they have one. Your dad didn't just cheat on your mother, he cheated on your family. Also, maybe you should see a counselor, that actually helped me out a lot more than I thought it could.
