Split

Dear Split,

Although I appreciate your distress, I do not feel you did the right thing by betraying your father's confidence - and I imagine on some level you agree with me, or you would not be so agitated. It's the old "two wrongs don't make a right." If you were upset at your father, then you should have confronted him and let it play from there.

Instead, you brought your mother (and your sister) into this and why did you do this? Well let me take a guess.

You are a double Capricorn with a Cancer Moon. In other words, you're a control freak. You want to call all the shots! So when your father did something you deemed "inappropriate"... something outside the lines, well God help him. His daughter is going to come down on from on high, and I think you can figure out the rest. Here's my advice:

Apologize to your father. Tell him you made an error in judgment and promise that in the future you will exercise more restraint.

Further, your mother and sister also deserve an apology. See, whatever your father confided in you... well obviously you didn't like it. But it was you who got the whole family embroiled and for this you need to take responsibility.

Next time? Try something along these lines:

"Dad, why are you telling me this without Mom's knowledge?"

And then listen. Because you're not "little" anymore, okay? And there is no excuse for one adult to betray another.

Good luck.
