Yep, I'm an actual bastard. My mother cheated on my dad, he raised me (terribly) as a cuckold. Both, my mother and father, were awful parents, thanks to ancestry.com I now know why. I was my fathers shame and my mothers embarrassment. Jon Snow here. The best part is I come from a family of 4 children. I'm the only one that made a life for myself, I avoided drugs, crime etc., and built a life. Dad lied to me and stole from me, I persevered and succeeded. I, as his only non-biological child did well, my half brother and sisters are welfare junkies. My mother admits what she did but does not regret anything, she is sorry about my poor upbringing, but I turned out ok, so there is that, thanks mom. I only recently did the DNA thing and found out, now everything makes sense. I'm not bitter, I'm superman.

Damn. I'm also one of four kids but I know me and all of my siblings belong to my parents. Sadly, I also know my mother is adulterous.

Our father was put in prison for a bullshit crime. During that time, his father helped us get by while my mother pretended to pursue a career with some bogus magazine. My older brother found out my mother had been cheating on my father because my mother, being so computer illiterate, left the incriminating evidence on her social media and open email.

So my brother goes to confront her. At first, she flips out. Absolutely outraged at him for 'going through her things.' Then she attempts to say Dad was okay with it. Next time we get in contact with my Dad, my brother brings it up, Dad is completely in shock. Mom freaks out again, blames us for her adultery. That was about fourteen years ago. My father forgave my mother. My mother never apologized. And that's really just one facet of how she utterly failed her children while living off her husband's family's money.

But none of her children grew up to be criminals. Or druggies. Or adulterers. But we're probably not going to give her a lineage, which may seem sad but I'm glad it bothers her so much. To this day, she wonders why her children won't have kids. We all want to tell her it's her fault but our Dad still loves her dearly. Loves her enough to forgive her. But she's always been cold as a stone, only affording her efforts to criticize. It's this bizarre contradiction that none of us have the heart to dig at our dad over.

To each his own. I can relate to a lot of your story. My mother taught me just how awful women can be. I would have been fine being single my whole life, I just couldn’t see myself trusting a woman, until I did. I’m not sure how it happened but it did, I wasn’t looking for it. I can’t offer any magic advice, I’m still trying to figure life out, I’ll be doing that until I die, maybe the day after I’ll have the answers?

My father is an extremely romantic man. The story of him meeting my mom and swearing his entire life to her moved my heart so much that I thought it was just a matter of finding 'miss right.' I don't think women will ever grasp how greatly mothers can fail their sons. And instead, they and so many other gynocentric men say, "MEN HAVE FAILED SOCIETY!"

I deified the concept of women. Put them to a point they could never reach. I think, in truth, a lot of men feel that way about women. And it's why it's so easy for them to be what women immediately assume is 'misogyny.' But really, it's women utterly failing to come remotely close to that golden standard. At this point it's just accepting women aren't demons because they aren't angels. But the way they act now, and even during my mother's generation, it's like they're not even human. Just needy animals that men project holiness upon and hope for the best.

As far as women are concerned things started to go my way when I stopped putting them on a pedestal. As you said neither demons or angels, just people. The worst thing a man can do is worship a woman. You can love her, you can enjoy her company but if you can’t live without her you are fucked! A man who can live alone and be alone is a good man and worthy of marriage although not required to be a man.
