    My friends mom cheating!
    My friend needs your advice on this one...
    Couple years ago she found out that her mom was cheating on her dad, when her mom was chatting on windows live messenger with this guy their conversation got saved in one of the documents on the laptop and she read everything they talked about!. she got really mad and then after 2 weeks her mom kept texting him and she also saw the messages, I seriously don't know how to help her or give her advices. She told me to post this and take your advices! She just wants to know what is she supposed to do in a situation like this, she has known this for 3 years now and she has no clue what to do? Whenever this guy texts her mom and her mom doesn't read it my friend delets it before her mom reads it!. Any advices?.

    My first thought is that she has no business deleting messages sent to her mother, even if she doesn't approve of them.

    I'd advise your friend to have an honest talk with her mother and confess that she knows about the texting and messaging.

    I know she has no busniess, but seeing those messages just kills her. She can't talk to her mom, she just feels hopeless right now.. she told me that she will always respect her mom as a mom but as a person never!

    Please use the Answer feature not the Comment one when you reply (so I can quote you).

    How old is your friend (12, 17, 24?? )?

    I am sure she loves her parents and it hurts to know something like this is going on.

    When it comes to relationship . Love , and trust issues , she has no place to be involved in her parents relationship. That is to be addressed by the partners only.

    Be loving , be neutral , be silent about what you know.
    It seems that cheating makes itself known almost all the time

    My best advice would be to love them both , but keep out of their personal issues
