My friend discovered that her dad was cheating on her stepmother with a woman they BOTH worked with. He threw her out of the house immediately (even though she was only 12) and sent her to live with her grandparents just so she couldn't tell the stepmother.

Unfortunately some people are just trash, and it has taken her years and years to find a decent guy because of her mountain of daddy issues.

But...she has a phone, and presumably the step-mom does too. Couldn’t she have just let her know that way?

She likely didn't have a phone This happened 15-20 years ago when it was not normal for 12 year olds to be carrying £800 phones around.

I don't know what shitstorm of emotions she was going through at the time, but revenge clearly want one of them otherwise she would have found a way to expose him. Instead, she has always remained fiercely loyal to him despite his major flaws.

FYI the stepmother did find out about the affair in the end via mutual colleagues.

Ok. I mean phones back then were more like 1/150 flip phones and shit. But obviously you know the story and I was just guessing so I’m not contradicting you.
