Help, My Dad Is Seeing Prostitutes!?
Okay, my dad, great guy, no love/passion/romance with my mom though, has been calling up prostitutes, and I don't kow what to do.
Prostitutes are "escorts", you can find them posting their ads on Craigslist, like a local ebay, and he has contacted them, and he has been meeting up.
How do I know? I know his email password, and there are as many as 8 different contacts, that he has said" here is my number call me at your time" bla bla bla, he goes to Craigslist every single day, I have seen him look at it, naked pics of women on the escort section, has put in numbers in his phone like crazy, has been very sketch and suspicious with his late nights on Fridays and Satturdays, and he says he is going to the grocery store or friends house, comes back 5 hours later, and I KNOW, 100% that he has, and right now as type, just got done seeing a prostitute, and my mom and siblings know, I have told them, I don't want to approach him about it and ruin the family.
My mom and siblings have advised me not to open my mouth about it, and I will in the future, let my emotions get the best of me when he is talking bad about my mom or something... just not sure, I even have thought about calling a non-emergency police line to investigate him.. just there is so much evidence, and I even heard him and my uncle talking about it...
Believe me, it is nasty I know, but a 55 yr old man, with no love is desperate for such a thing... so he isn't a bad guy.. but I am sick of this, he spends so much money on them (100-400) and complains about utility bills.... What should I do?
I am 19 years old, almost 20.
If I talk to him 1 on 1, I don't wanna accuse him of anything, I don't wanna be like, I know what you have been doing, I would say something like, dad, whatever you do, don't do anything illegal, I know mom doesn't show you any kind of love, and why would she, you call her names sometimes and you aren't a great husband.
They are both 5 star parents, but a terrible couple relationship.

you should listen to your mother and siblings... keep your mouth shut... remember you are his child and you are stepping into a area where its none of your business. i know "but he's my dad and that makes it my business" no it don't! when you are in your 20's and have kids you will understand this. its none of your business get used to it. sorry if it seems like im harsh but at least im honest! your mother needs to confront him it is her business!

Men at that age try INSANELY hard to be young, feel young again, and having sex like never before sounds good! But, you mother won't be in any shape to do it, so what does he do? Visit prostitutes, what else!
If he is a practical man, he will end it in a few months!
Imagine yourself as a bored 55 years old, with headaches in the name of children, a nagging wife, who looks more like your ELDER BROTHER than a lady!!! And you wanna feel young, at least have a few good ones, before you loose your libido forever!
It's very hard to control, and too complicated!
I don't support it, but you just can't tell it directly to him! You know his mail and password, so sign up for some sex addict articles, other such sites and blogs! All you can do is, to let him know indirectly that all this is not good in the long run, and will definitely ruin the family if it is not stopped soon.

Confront him.
Have a serious sit down with him, and try to understand why he does this. What he is doing is illegal, and also a waste of money. It could get him into so much trouble, and you are really just looking out for him.
Have a one on one. Maybe he really needs it, and since your his kid he feels like he cannot ask for help. Offer help to him, a chance to talk.
Just listen, dont let your emotions control you. Think about his reasoning, then tell him how you feel, and how it looks from a different perspective than from his.
Good Luck, this is a very awkward situation!

in the adventure that your dad's call isn't John, then.....sure....he's seeing a prostitute. yet, being that your dad is a single divorcee with a newborn, that's extremely a good thank you to "get some" devoid of strings linked. this way he would not have each and all of the problems of a dating and would commit maximum of his time to you. Yay! bypass Dad!

This is the ingredient that was missing from your parent's marriage. You are too young to understand. Stay out of it. One day, you will understand. If your mother knows, then leave it at that.

I would talk him one on one. Lie about telling the other family members. Just to see what he says and soothe your own conscious.

in 2 words: stay out!
Its his life and you are too intensely preoccupied with it. Live your own life and forget it, he's not the first and not the last to do this.
