Reply to comment by Sattalyte in My father is cheating on my mother by Throwaway785587

Oh that sounds awful poor girl.

As for the rest they go through bad and good patches (Seems to be dependant on my mothers drinking but I’m thinking that her drinking has reasons too so ?), but they’ve had a good patch now so the cheating rlly caught me off guard ig?

What you do is up to you. I've always lived my life with the philosophy that we should stay out of other people's business. This sub vehemently disagrees with that, and will urge you to tell your mother, but I would caution otherwise. Your parents relationship is their own, and it's for them to work through their lives.

If I found one of my friends or family was cheating, I would take it to the grave with me.

I feel like she deserves to know, she’s a great person and deserves someone who wouldn’t betray her like this, but at the same time I worry that her mental health will drop even further if she does find out, but thank you for your advice, made me feel somewhat less shitty for not telling her yet

Genuine question, yes or no answer. Do you think she deserves to be able to make an informed choice about who she's in a relationship with?
