My mom is cheating on my stepdad, I know that she is cheating and she even has admitted it after I saw pictures and read texts, I dont know what to do I love my stepdad like my real dad and he even does more with me than my real dad, I dont want to tell him cause I know how bad that will hurt him on top of all the stuff he’s dealing with right now but I dont know what to do I’ve tried talking to my mom about it and she just tells me its none of my business but she putting me through hell because I know and I haven’t told my stepdad, im not the type of person that talks about killing themselves or even thinks about it but I know that I would have if it wasn’t for my little sister I would have (I started crying when I typed that) but I love her to death and thats one of the main reasons I haven’t told my stepdad (her father) I know that all the fighting and arguing would affect her the most. I dont really care what happens to me or how my feelings get hurt but I want to know what to do, and I want to help her as much as possible, please if you know what to do please help

Answer #1

I personally think that you should tell your stepdad, and either your mom can change and your dad can forgive her or they can go their seperate ways. I know this might be hard for you but go on tell your stepdad, the sooner he knows the easier it will be.

Hope this helps x

I feel so down and out a few years ago my step dad cheated on my mom and felt upset and mad I wanted her to leave him but they worked threw it latly my mom has been going out and drinkin and getting out of control and shes been cheating. I think if she dosent want it done to her she shouldnt do it ether and I don’t know if I should tell my dad I don’t wanna get into trouble for anything but everytime I see her txtn or tlkn on her cell phone it pisses me off and I get upset

Answer #3

tell your mom frankly about it. a lot of lives are ruined because of adultery, and pray to God, that your mom will realize what she’s doing is wrong. you’re a great brother and God will reward you for it.

Answer #4

You poor thing, thats a really horrible situation for you to have to deal with. Your mother is being so selfish by burdening you with this, I’m sorry to say. You need to speak to someone, you can’t keep this bottled up it’s not fair on you to have to deal with it. Do you have anyone else that you can talk to? Another adult? Have you tried telling your mum how upset you are? I don’t know whether you should tell your stepdad or not, it’s a tricky situation to be in. Sorry I can’t give you better advice :(

Answer #5

well.. in all honesty.. it sounds like your mom is wanting you to tell him so she doesn’t have to.. I’m only saying that because you said “she just tells me its none of my business but she putting me through hell because I know and I haven’t told my stepdad”.. I think I’d ask her point blank.. “do you want me to tell him? is that why you’re acting like this towards me?”

Answer #6

I found out my step mom was cheating on my dad and I confronted her. I said “you can’t let this go on and think it’s okay. You either need to put an end to it, or you and (my dad) go separate ways. It’s going to hurt your step dad more the longer it goes on. If you can, tell your mom that it IS partly your business because it’s affecting your life. You can also tell her that she needs to pick one or the other… hope you feel better =)
