OP’s parents divorced when they were just six years old, and they never knew the real reason behind it. Recently, they found out that their dad had been unfaithful to their mom, resulting in a heated argument. OP expressed their anger and frustration towards their dad, feeling that he had broken up the family for someone he barely knew, causing them anxiety and distress as a child.
OP’s uncle defended them during the argument, stating they had every right to be upset. However, OP’s friend suggested that while they had a valid reason to be upset, it might not have been their place to yell at their dad. OP is now conflicted, wondering if they overreacted and whether they should also be upset with their mom for not revealing the truth earlier. They seek clarification on whether their outburst was justified. In this situation, OP’s emotions are understandable, given the circumstances, but whether they were right to yell at their dad is subjective and depends on individual perspectives regarding their right to know and the appropriate way to express their feelings.
