I need some advice guys, and I really don't know who to talk to it about. None of my friends can really relate.
It affected me way more than I thought it would. My Dad had previously said that the reason he got a divorce was because my mom never tried to understand him. Recently I found out the real reason
So for a whole year or so before they got a divorce, he had been taking long trips for "work" to their storage facility. A co-worker of his literally told me today that he had been seeing another woman and couldn't stand seeing my mother get hurt, so he told me.
I don't know what to do.
Should I tell my mom and let her get even more depressed?
Should I confront my Dad?
Or should I just stay out of it?

Parents got a divorce; Found out the reason was because he cheated on her; what do I do

Your mother probably knows already.
The cheating was a symptom, not the cause of their relationship problems.
Just remember that it's not your fault.

not your business
no good ever comes from meddling
Tell her later on in life
Furthermore, you cannot and should not have to fix anything about your parent's relationship.

I wasn't trying to, and I hate that they both got me involved

Then just let it slide
My parents got divorced when I was like 13 or something, honestly I should have seen it coming. Wrecked me, etc.
Basically keep out of it. My mother kept dragging me into the middle of it all and it was ugly. Just let those two make their adult decisions and do their thing. It happens and it sucks but it's them ending their relationship and you sort of just have to adapt. Don't let the cheating thing ruin your view of your father. Don't get sucked into THEIR divorce. It will destroy you.

It's likely that she already knows, but regardless, bringing this up will only resurface unhappy memories and emotional pain. There's no point.
If you're feeling disgusted or resentful towards your dad, talk to him about it.
I wouldn't tell her Anon. I can't see any benefit.

Stay out of it. They have enough problems without having to deal with your moral judgments.
I think you should stay out of it, you don't know the full story and honestly its probably best that way.
