Should I Confront My Dad, He is Seeing Prostitutes?

Question

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 y/o

This is really none of your business. You are invading your dads privacy by looking at his e-mails. You wouldn't like it if he secretly knew your password and snooped into your business. If your mom is aware of this then it is up to her what she decides to do with the info not you or your other siblings. If you feel you must talk to your dad then do it one on one but be prepared for the consequences. He won't appreciate your snooping at all. You are 19 years old, let your parents handle thier business and you take care of yours. Parents are not perfect and you have have obtained some very private information that you have no business knowing. He's still your father and he deserves respect from you and your siblings.

My dad had an affair once and my mom knew and she almost filed a divorce.  I'm surprised that your mom and siblings are ok with this.  If I were in your place, I'd first know and really discuss with my mom and siblings their feelings about this matter.  Coz if you'll handle this alone with no support from them it'll be hard.  Once you feel the harmony in you and your other family members' feelings, that's the perfect time for confrontation.  But if you really want to confront your dad on your own, you have to be very very ready.  Evidences, your stand, display of emotion and the consequences ahead are things you need to prepare for.  Make sure you don't tend to hesitate when you do this.  You don't want to regret it right?

He's a grown man and face it, you can't control him. The sad part is that if he keeps it up he'll get some kind of STD, and if that doesn't teach him, then he's truely lost.

To move on to other things in your life you sometimes have to let go.
