This 16-year-old girl’s parents are divorced, and earlier this week, while she was at her dad’s house, she received a strange drunken text from her mom’s boyfriend.

While the text was hard to comprehend and mostly gibberish, she was able to make out one key piece of information.

According to her mom’s boyfriend, her mom had been hooking up with her old teacher while still married to her dad.

Now, this was particularly shocking for a multitude of reasons.

First of all, the man was 35 years older than her mother, and aside from being her mom’s coworker, he was also her teacher from third to fifth grade.

Since her old teacher was friends with her mom, they would also hang out with him and his son very often outside of school.

“He introduced me to a lot of my current interests and shaped my worldview in a lot of ways,” she recalled.

Not to mention, her old teacher’s son was her very best friend.

Yet, her dad wound up confirming that her mom did really have an affair that lasted years with the man. So now, she has no idea how to feel about the situation.

She really does not want to act like “an ungrateful, bratty teenager” who is just getting involved in the adult business. She also knows that her mom has the right to do anything she wants.

Yet, at the same time, she does feel kind of betrayed. It’s weird for her to think back on memories of eating and playing with legos with her friend while her married mom was hooking up with her favorite adult at the time– her teacher.

It’s also strange knowing that she was her teacher’s favorite student just because he was the cause of her parent’s divorce.

“Thinking about the time my mom criticized my normal 8-year-old outfit as too [revealing] and looking like I wanted to impress his son when she was going to sleep with him behind my dad’s back is [frustrating] me,” she added.

So, she really wishes she just did not know about the affair at all.

She has to see her mom tomorrow, too, and will be forced to pretend as though everything is just peachy.

“But I’m a little mad. And more than a little disappointed and sad,” she vented.

Can you understand why she feels like her mom deceived her and betrayed her trust? How would you react to such shocking news? Do you think she should hide that she knows the truth from her mom or voice her feelings about the situation?
