I need advice to see if I should have any part in my parent's decision to live together even though they are divorced.. with my dad's new wife.
Things you need to know: I have 5 older siblings who are over the age of 21. I am the youngest and I live in another state. My oldest brother and middle sister lives with my parents. My other brother lives with my grandpa and my other two sisters are married.
About two years ago, my dad was caught having an affair with a younger woman. My father was close to leaving my mother for the other woman but the other woman did not want to become "the blame." So she left him. After that, my dad promised not to ever do that again to my mother. I did not know any of this until after a couple months. My parents were trying to hide it from me but somehow the news got to me through my uncle. So it turned out that my mother already forgave my father and they were going to try to work things out. And to be honest, nothing seemed wrong.
Then last year, my mother found out that my father was having another affair. They ended up getting a divorce. The sad thing is that the girl that is having an affair with is 18 years old and my father is 50 years old. Which does not make any sense and disgusts me that she is younger than me. My mother refuses to leave even though we've all told her to leave him. I cannot take care of her due to family traditions... sadly. It would be a disgrace to my husband's family and my family. Only my younger brother can but he does not care. I think that my mother is afraid to grow up alone without anyone to support her. But that's my opinion.
What do you guys think? Gimme some real advice!! Any advice will be appreciated.
