hi all,
my mum announced she was leaving my dad (step dad - but always been there for me) after 16yrs together. She has met another married man and has been having an affair for the last 6 months.
I am so shocked and devastated as they seemed so happy together!! but i really am not coping too well at all.....
I have always looked up to my mum, as my real dad did the same to her and walked out leaving her to bring up 3 children on her own. she has done so well in life and i always wanted the life she has, beautiful house, loving husband and great career....but now she has thrown it all away for some one she says she loves after 6 months.
I hate her for this, this may sounds selfish, but she has ruined my LO's first christmas and birthday!...i really dont no how i can forgive her for hurting my dad like this, i no it will all take time, but i just dont want anything to do with her.
My OH isnt being supportive at all, i can hardly function and all he seems interested in is keeping his work mates happy by not letting them down at work and then coming home and spending all evening 'updating' his new iphone. im not asking for him to drop everything, but just one day where i can 'grieve' and get my head around it...surely your wife is more important than work for one day?? am i asking too much?
i am shattered. i have a very difficult teething baby with a cold, not sleeping or eating well, but some how i have to stay strong for my dad, brother and sister.
Someone please tell me this gets better in time.
(sorry for the rant...just needed to get it off my chest)

I'm sorry your parents have split up. It's difficult to be a child of divorced parents at the best of times, but especially when they split when you're an adult.
