My parents split up over the same thing. But, my mom didn't find out until the other child as 5 (I was 15). It was almost like my dad was living a double life. He would be with us and then, under the guise of working, would go to his other family. They knew about us, but we didn't know about them. Once my mom found out, it was all over. My dad and I had a tenuous relationship throughout the time that I was in highschool and college. But, I was trying way harder than him, and he was the adult. So, I gave up. I haven't spoken to him since my wedding day, (which will be 6 years ago in December). I didn't ask him to walk me down the aisle, because he wasn't reliable. But, I did let him come to the ceremony. Whatever. It seems like you and your dad actually converse every now and again, so I hope that things work out differently for you.
