This is a difficult thing to deal with but remember, your dad may be telling the truth. This is up to your parents to work out and decide what they want to do. All you can really do is be as loving and supportive as possible.
today we received a letter in the mail by an unknown person...i opened it and it said my dad was cheating on my mom...so i gave the letter to my mom...she confronted him and he keeps denying it saying its a lady from work that wanted to get with him and shes mad because he didnt want to...i know my mom shes the typical mexican lady and shes not going to leave him...but i cant even look at him and it hurts because he is my father after all right? idk im not mad at him im sad and dissapointed and i really want to be mad at him but i cant...ive avoided home all day and when i got here i didnt talk to him...idk what to say...i feel like he is my father no matter what i must respect him..idk what to think any more i feel like im the only one that didnt see it coming my sisters had been bugging for a while that he had been extremely moody and that he probably had someone else...i always gave him the benefit of the doubt...any advice for me because i feel so confused...

He could have been extremely moody because the woman at work was pressuring to get with him. Right now it's his word against hers.. so give him the benefit of the doubt because he could be telling the truth. But like WC said, it's ultimately up to your parents to work this out.
I agree wit WC and Tex.

It's obvious you have alot of respect for your family, and naturally any news like this is going to make you feel devistated.
But, moody doesn't mean "affair" and even if it was, he obviously has no intentions of leaving your Mother, or else that letter wouldn't have shown up, un-addressed, for one of you to open, it was intentional...
You have to understand that everybody has problems in life, that they have to sort out, he may have a serial pest on his hands, but ultimately as the others have said, this is for your parents to sort out.
Don't "judge" a book by it's cover, regardless of what your sisters stated, they probably have seen their friends parents going through things and made a statment. Only facts are real.
Anything else is speculation okay.
Let them solve the riddle, the puzzle and any problems..
Your job is to be their daughter, as you always have and be there for them.
Your Mum may need a few extra cuddles whilst she establishes the facts.
But, don't take anything out on your Dad, from a "pure letter" that could be honestly out of vengence or deliberate to sabotage his marriage.
Always give someone the benefit of the doubt as you have. Until they prove you wrong sweet.

Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
