Do we all learn from the mistakes of our parents? Or do we follow down the same path of the wrong doing as our parents did? What if your parents were unfaithful to each other? Would you learn to be faithful, not wanting to be like them? Or would you see what they do and feel you must do the same? The answer to these questions can have more then one side to them. My thoughts are from my experiences of an unfaithful parent. If you have an unfaithful parent you are more than likely going to be unfaithful yourself. Whether it is in a relationship or in a marriage, there is a good chance that the relationship will not last. You would even think by watching television, and movies such as "Unfaithful," that any person, no matter the age, would not want to be a cheater. Even watching that movie myself, I thought I would and never could be unfaithful. I guess I thought wrong. I still don't think people realize that he or she will always be considered unfaithful.
When I was in 10th grade I found out that my mother was and had been cheating on my father. David, who is my father, is one of the most caring, sensitive, handsome fathers and husbands anyone could ever have. His response to my mother Rose, who was a very self centered, ungrateful woman, was to kick her out. My whole family already knew and they were all heart broken and felt terrible for my father, sister, and me. I was so disappointed at what my mother had done; I did not even want to see her face, even be in the same room as her, or be breathing the same air. The moment my mother arrived home my father had decided to take her back. He said he was so madly in love with her that he would do anything to make their marriage work. When I had heard what had just come out of my father's mouth, I was completely shocked. I found out this had not been the first time she had done this. She had cheated on him times before, and he still took her back.
