    Sweetheart, I'm so sorry that you're going through this.

    I think that pigpen's advice is excellent. It's such a shame that your aunty is going to be away for a week because it sounds as though she is a good person to talk to.

    Are you scared to talk to your mum because you think you might upset her? Because, as pigpen says, if I was your mum then I'd much rather you come and talk to me, rather than have you feeling upset and alone about this.

    Big hugs from me, too.

    You know, I think you should take your aunt up on her offer to let your mother know that you know. Although it will be hard for all concerned I think you need help with this.

    I'm sorry you're going through this.

    Whatever does happen to your parent's marriage IT ISN'T your fault and it isn't your responsibility.

    Try not to worry too much (easier said than done, I know).

    its a shame your auntie is going on holiday, but you must feel desperate to post on here and want to offload this burden. which you have now. unless you really have to, then I would say dont confront mum for the time auntie is away - as you overheard her talking, and telling your mum would involve your auntie. can you be really grown up and keep quiet until auntie comes back? go to see auntie and discuss how you can confront mum together? because, quite honestly your mum needs to know how you believe she is having an affair.........and its because of your auntie - so she should be there to help you. and please consider that mum may have an explanation and both you and auntie are entitled to hear that!
