Philippines 
My dad is a serial cheater. He cheated on my mom a lot during their marriage and it came to light after she was diagnosed with brain cancer 5 years ago. Mom found out when she was already terminal and my dad's answer to this was to run away to his (at the time) affair partner's house, leaving me (16f who was only 11) and my sister (15f who was only 10) to fend for ourselves and take care of mom. He then tried to get his way back in for my mom's last few weeks and she somewhat gave in for our sakes, because she was worried we'd hate him if she didn't, but then when the end came he was with his affair partner.
Dad and his last affair partner were on and off for a few years. We found out one of her kids was actually his and that kid is 6 now. She has an 8 year old as well from the guy she was married to at the time she had her 6 year old. So there's messy stuff on her side too. We don't see or interact with them ever.
Dad and his affair partner are now engaged and they wanted an engagement party with family and friends and dad insisted we had to be part of that. It happened on Saturday. Dad made us use the engagement dinner as our visitation with him but we tried to fight against it. So we went but we weren't happy and during the dinner dad and his affair partner were talking about how excited they were to bring the family together, his affair partner was saying she was so excited to officially be our parent and to have us come closer because of it. Their immediate families know the score but not the extended family.
This led to a lot of questions, surprise and anger. The latter of which was directed at us. My dad and his affair partner were furious we made the engagement dinner uncomfortable and asked us why we'd do that. My sister said we weren't going to pretend we were happy for them or us. I said they forced us to be there and we were clear we didn't want to be. They said we behaved like spiteful children.
