Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?

  1. Your dad cheated on your mum, not on you.

  2. Everything involving humans is more complex and complicated than it might seem at first glance.

  3. Everybody makes mistakes, even your loved ones.

  4. You only have one dad, so it’s better to forgive them. (I didn’t forgive mine for other mistakes, and that was my mistake. Now I’m old and he is dead and that’s that.)

  5. Your mum is being selfish and manipulative because she is afraid and hurting. It’s not right what she is doing, but see the points above for her as well.

  6. Life is hard and unfair and difficult for everybody. For your dad, for your mum and also for you. It sucks when you’re stuck in the middle of other people’s problems, but remember all of this will pass. And remember to take care of yourself.

Hugs my dude. You’ll get through this and so will they.
