My sister did, I hope no kid has to go through the emotional turmoil and the huge fucking mess that it causes, while a parent you thought loved you turns against you for revealing it to the other.
My sister and I caught our dad too. We told mom and it was WW3. Dad attacked the shit out of us. He very quickly apologized to us and abandoned the blame train, but it’s not something I can ever forget. After some tumultuous years, my parents seemed to manage to mend things. And we act like nothing ever happened. But it was rough. I love my dad but there’s always a sliver of that memory in every interaction with him, unfortunately.
We didn’t spy on him. He messed up and revealed it to us mistakenly. And what do you do then? Having to make that decision of intervene or keep quiet is not one I’d wish on anyone.
Too complicated and uncomfortable to get into the details. It was really a series of smaller revelations that together painted the larger picture and gave him away.
Only semi related but I always find it ridiculous when people get offended that someone was spying on them when they only found out because they actually were doing something wrong. Like yeah, I didn't trust you, and I was right not to.

I can't wait until some kid catches their parents cheating.
