So my mom just told me that my parents are getting divorced cuz my dad was cheating on her and I'm kinda happy about it.

I never really got along with my dad anyway and he's always been an idiot. Plus i hardly ever talk to him even tho I see him all the time. To be honest this is more of a relief to me than anything. I won't have a guy in the house pressuring me to act "like a man" but then I felt sorta guilty for being happy about this. Is it wrong that I think this is good or is it normal given the circumstances?

My dad has lived in a separate "house" since he started working after my most recent move, and Im happy that he isnt around a lot. I really dont trust him and he "messes with me" when Im around him. By that I mean popping pimples and blackheads, pointing out stretch marks (keep in mind that he still sees me as male), embarrasing me about my weight, bullying me when I have an opinion about something, bullying me when I dont have an opinion about soemthing, etc.

But it really does depend on how he has treated you and such.
