Ive often had people tell me that parents cheating has nothing to do with the children. I remember seeing a few posts on that AITA sub about kids finding out one of their parents were cheating, the kids were upset and ignored their parents and they got called TA because it was “none if their business”

I really Don’t know how to move past my father cheating. It messed up the way i viewed relationships. The woman my dad cheated with asked if he had kids, and he repeatedly denied my existence. Specifically denied that I existed. I felt so rejected. I felt like if my own father doesnt want me then why should i expect other people to? I started looking st men differently because of him. I look at marriage differently because of him. Im so sad right now. I want to be in love, But im terrified. What do i do? I dont want to fall in love and then get cheated on. I genuinely feel like it’s inevitable. Ive been in therapy but i’m still so scared.
