I have a secret. My dad is cheating on my mom. If you call random hookups with random guys cheating then he is. My mom is sick and without my dad we would become homeless. I know my dad loves my mom but i dont....I dont know. I just dont want my mom 2 find out. It would tear her apart. You cannot contact me besides email. Please. I need someone to help me.

What a tough situation you are facing.  Such grown up emotions you are experiencing.  One thing we all have to remember in our lives no matter what our age, is that we can only control some things, and other things we cannot.

You cannot control your Father or his behaviors.  You can control your response to what you have discovered however.  There are options you may want to consider;
You could talk with your father about the information you have discovered and let him know how it makes you feel. 
You can also voice your opinion of how it would hurt your Mother if she found out.
You could do your best to let go of the information and try to get along and keep things running smoothly in your home.

You do not know if your Mother is aware of it or how she feels.  You only know about yourself. 

This situation is between the two of them and their marriage is their own business.  Yes, it does or will affect you and your life, but here again, it is something that you are not in control of.
