Going crazy over mothers affair

I am 22 years old and I just found out my mother had an affair and cheated on my dad for over six years. I am devastated. I thought my mother was a different kind of lady. I thought my mother was moral and ethical and yes I understand about falling out of love and all that! Common! But she not only cheated on my dad, she was having an affair with a married man who was clearly using her while he was separated with his wife! How do I know all this stuff! That is the ugly thing. The wife found out and told everyone! And of course my dad found out and my parents tried to make their marriage work without telling me and my sister, but we found out anyway because my sister started dating his nephew. Yuk. I am so disgusted; my mother would always tell me and my sister not to dress inappropriately, how to behave right..etc.. I feel like telling her now...what about you..you were being a whore for years! I am so mad, I love my mother but I am so disappointed in her. As a college student and feminist I believe that woman need to respect themselves and say NO. Why would my mother act like such a tramp when I thought the world of her? I am a mess...I have lost all respect for my mother.

Don't lose respect for her.  For all you knmow your dad cheated too. I found out as a teenager that my dad was cheating on my mom. It disturbed me greatly, and though both are now dead, I have never really resolved it in my mind. But you know, my dad was still my dad, and I just had to let it be. It's none of your business really, and it doesn't mean your mom is some horrible person. She just made an error in judgement.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

Sweetie, with all due respect? You need to grow up.

Your parents are not infallible. They are human. That means they have feelings and make mistakes, just like everyone else in the world. Sometimes they drink too much. Sometimes they tell lies. Sometimes they act immaturely. And yes, sometimes they even have affairs.

You don't know the circumstances which led your mother to act as she did - and it is not your business to know, unless she chooses to tell you.

Does that make it morally right for her to say one thing and do another? Of course not. But it also doesn't make it right for you to judge her.

Forgive her - and yourself - and go on from here.

Don't just rock the boat, turn it over, if your not on it!

Get over it! Your a grown man or are you? Maybe your dad drove her to cheat or maybe he wanted her too. He may not be doing his manly things anymore. Who knows? But, your an adult don't worry about their problems. You come in their lives, they don't come in yours. So grow up!! You sound like a mom's boy. Maybe your having Attachment problems.
