I am absolutely disgusted....

...See more I'm in need of some outside perspectives on a little predicament I'm in right now. I(F26) just don't know what to do going forward with the situation I'm about to share. I found out that my dad has been actively trying to cheat on my mom for the past two months. He is on multiple hookup/affair sites like Ashley Madison and Adult Friend Finder. He has been emailing several different women, one of them being a dominatrix. In one of the emails, my dad basically says that he has fallen out of love with my mother. I went snooping on my dad computer one night and was shocked at what I found out (I know it's not right of me to snoop so no need to scold me for that). I snooped because my dad has been distant and very irritable as of lately and he has recently been prescribed adderall for an unknown reason and I wanted to know why. Now I look at my father differently and I've lost all respect for him. How could he do this to my mother?! My heart hurts for my mother because I know how much she loves him. She has mentioned before that they have argued to the point of almost divorcing, but I figured she was joking. A part of me wants to tell her what's going on because I don't want my dad to contract a STD and then give it to my mom and because she doesn't deserve to have her trust broken like that. But another part of me doesn't want to tell her because I don't want to be the thing that splits them up and that would jeopardize my living situation with them (me and my newborn daughter live with them so I can save up for a place on my own). There is no way I'm confronting my dad about this because I would rather not deal with the argument that will come from that. I love both of my parents very much, but I am so hurt for my mother. I mean I guess I could find a way to get her to find out on her own, but I don't even know how to go about that. Can anyone help me out here?
