Please don't trip trap me, this is genuine and i am a namechanging regular. i cannot even think about this under my regular guise.
after 30 years of marriage my parents are separating because of my mother's infidelities.
i have had my suspicions for the last 15 years tbh but fervently hoped i was wrong, plus with the morals and values i was brought up with it seemed inconceivable.
but i was not wrong, it has all come out.
and my mum expects everybody to just carry on as normal. she is in the process of moving out, but does not seem to have told anyone, friends/relations etc.
dad is doing v well and being v prgamatic and sensible.
my siblings are refusing to speak to my mother because of her behaviour, the short version being she has had several "affairs" with so-called family friends, both married and unmarried.
i am the only one who lives locally and the only one with dcs, while they do not see a huge amount of my mum, they are fond of her. my dh wants nothing to do with her but will support me in however i want to react.
i am, frankly, reeling at her behaviour, it is so contradictory to what she preaches, so to speak and am really not sure how to behave toward her.
finished?
well done and thank you.
hit me with the mn wiseness please, as if i was ever in need of it, it is now

My mum is, in fact, a complete tart.
