We are bother 18 years old. He cheated on me with my 42-year-old mother when we were together. She was the one who pushed me to approach him, which makes this hurt even more. Since we were thirteen, he and I had been best friends. She advised me to quit being scared and go after him when we were sixteen.
Last week, I arrived home much earlier than I had planned and caught them in the act, this is when I first found out about their affair. In an attempt to explain herself, my mom said she “just wanted to feel young again.” I blocked her right away.
My grandparents are now warning me that I am going too far and that I shouldn’t cut her off completely because she gave me a roof over my head and food in my mouth. They believe that after I return home, I ought to forgive her. I don’t think I should but I’m worried about where to live. I hate her.
