My dad has recently been caught having an affair with his young personal assistant. Huge scandal; mom was very angry. Now they’re in the middle of divorce proceedings. Mom moved out, the other woman moved in and I chose to stay with him because we’re super close; he’s like my best friend. Now mom’s telling me to go and live with her and go no contact with him cause he’s a bad person and by continuing having a relationship with him I’m condoning his actions and “ignoring her suffering”. My relationship with my dad hasn’t changed, I don’t see why I should end it.

    What an odd thing for an adult to say. I feel bad for you, do you get mad at the tv as well? Life isn’t a reality show and people’s emotions are not logical. Secondly making you child choose to take a side in divorce is 100 not healthy.

      I would get mad at my tv if it cheated on my mother? Kind of does feel like a reality show with the father cheating, kicking his wife out and bringing in his affaire partner so they can be a happy family against with the new substitute.

      What a joke comment.

        You’re the type of person who gets mad your significant other cheated in your dream. So much personal projections in the novella you crafted about this guys family, I’m sure you got all the facts Detective Grimy.

        It’s extra funny to me that you don’t understand that I was insinuating that your intelligence was to dull to differentiate reality from a broadcast sitcom.

          Lol, I got what you meant, it’s literally the rest of the comment. It took me a few though, you kind of said it in a silly way. It also brings nothing to the conversation, hence why I’m mirroring your bad attitude.

            I don’t have a bad attitude, I merely suggest that life isn’t as black and white as you so badly desire that it is blinding and binding you unto a zealous fanatic.

              I was insinuating that your intelligence was too* dull

                I’m going with a third option. I can have a great attitude and think you’re a moron. It happens every day.
