should mum know?

Leave well alone, to be honest, your aunt should also have left it alone and not told you either.


I just hate stirrers, that's exactly what she has done.

Water under the bridge.
I'd not mention it to your Mum.
Even if it were true that she would have viewed drugs rather than other women more 'favourably', what good is that going to do?
Create a lifetime of regrets for her?

Enjoy your renewed relationahip with your Aunt.

Your dad sounds like a real charmer.

If fatherhood could not make him a responsible person, nothing would have been able to. He's only reaping what he sewed.

Another one for not saying anything to your Mum. Whether she as correct about the other women or knew about the drugs is irrelevant. She was not happy with the way things were and got out.

She probably told you the easiest story and as your dad hasn't actually given you an alternative there is probably some truth in what your mum told you.

She probably wouldn't thank you for bringing it all up again.
