regardless on this she is still %26amp; will always be your mom !!! I know that u now look @ her w/different eyes %26amp; don't value any of her input as you once did!! Just go the best u can %26amp; ask her how are u suppose to feel now ?? You too feel betrayed !!
I understand how you feel - I went through the same thing, but it was my dad who cheated. I was mad at him for a long time, but I finally realized that their situation was none of my business and didn't affect the relationships I had with my parents...he will always be my dad, she will always be my mom, but they won't be together.


As a third party person, you will never truly know the details of your parents relationship or what caused your mom to stray. It's best to let them handle it, and move on.
i wish i had an answer. I cannot imagine that. hang tough
I too know the feeling..but it was both my parents who cheated on each other.





I doubt you know the whole crux of personal things as to their married life and you only may be hearing your fathers version or vice versa as to their problems, its never that cut and dried.





As children we look up too and many times put our parents on a pedestal and when they fall off of course were devastated,but they are also human beings.





As I found out the hardest thing to do is to look at ones parents instead of ';Mom %26amp; Dad'; or in your case ';Mom'; and start looking at her as another person... a woman who has wants and desires and needs, can treat people nicely or horrid and who can make poor choices.





That helped me in my forgiveness towards them both but it took a long while.





Be there for both, try not to take sides...as thats the hardest part, but truthfully.. its between your Mother and Father and they will always love you no matter what tho they may or may not make the choice to stay together.





If you have a good support system of friends ask them to be there for you during this time.... if you don't, go to your Pastor or Rabbi or seek out a counselor.





Much peace to you.
well these things do happen from time to time and the best way to deal with it is to talk to both of them and get a clear understanding from both sides.
well cheating happens a lot but you don't really think about it till it hits home....all problems can be worked out and things can be over come....always put yourself in the other persons shoes and try and see their point of view...you never know till you have been there.....at least she is not in the hospital dyeing from cancer or something just be thankful you got her there to have a problem with her....think about it.
