Original story
Good afternoon, I will try to give you some context:
My father is divorcing his now wife, and she is currently working in a place, where I work. We don’t talk much with her, since she is in a different department, however, 2 months ago we talked and she asked me if my father has been drinking before he met her (2 years ago), and I have said that yes, he has, which in fact is true, because my mother has divorced him, because he is a cheater and he had drinking problems.
I told her that he had done things like that in the past and that was one of the reasons they got divorced.
1 hour ago he calls me that he wants to meet and give me some clothes, we meet, and he just starts yelling “what the fuck have you told her, we are divorcing right now because of you, all your generation does not know how to hold your tongue shut, you should have said you didnt know anything, etc etc. he also said, that she doesn’t matter as much to him, and he wants me to know this lesson to know my mouth shut.
“
Now I do feel terrible, I feel like I betrayed my father, when in fact, I just didn’t want to lie. He is also a boomer and I just feel so bad because he is my father and he is ‘trying’ to get back into my life (after I have graduated and found a decent job), however, I just think that he in fact does have a drinking problem and saying ‘everyrone drinks, that is life, i’m normal’ is not an excuse.
I don’t know, right now I’m just writing this and feeling strange emotions. AITA?
