(Update-2): AITAH for telling my mom that I will respect my dad's gf more than my step-dad.

A lot of you have messaged me and asked to keep you guys updated. So, before I update. I am so so grateful for those of you who have came to show support for me and my dad. I have read or tried to read your messages and comments. And honestly, those positive messaged really got to me. I was not upset by the trolls. Also I had beef with few of them too but if I ever said something bad then please forgive me. I am still little :). Anyways, back to the update. Well from my last post you guys can see that I have in fact been cheated on. It is funny because in my first post I mentioned that the last time I had a fight with my step-dad I told him I hope his son gets cheated on so he knows how that feels. And now here I am losing my bf and my friend because they stabbed me in the back. (I guess it is karma). The break up is still fresh in my mind. I still cry sometimes thinking about it. But I am glad I have my other friends and obviously my dad with me. So I can hope I will be fine. And yes I did end up going to disneyland with my dad and we had a lot of fun. But my dad end up becoming sick after we came back for a little while. He is better now. I guess he had some bad food on the way. Otherwise he is fine.

I finally spoke to my mom. She came to visit me at my dad's house. My dad rarely sees her. So he was also shocked to see her. She looked a bit out of the place as if she was entering Narnia. She wanted to talk to me and my dad. Dad went inside his room to give us some privacy to talk. Then we sat down. She apologized to me for acting so irrationally and never taking my feelings into account. Idk what happened but I asked her if she ever felt any guilt for cheating on my dad. She cried and said that she has always been guilty of how things ended between my dad and her. She didn't go much into details but at that time my dad and her were having some marriage problems. She and dad wanted to work things out but she was still feeling empty. Then my step-dad came and she found an escape from her life with him. She said she was selfish. She wanted to have it all but she knew someday her lies would be caught and it did. She mentioned that she and dad have grown distant because of the affair. She does regret and wishes she could have handled it better. She has spent 7 years or more with my step-dad but deep down she still had feelings for my dad. Someday she even wakes up and guilt washes over her. She regrets ever starting the affair. The problem was not my dad or my step-dad. The problem was her. And she knows she has messed up a lot. I also opened up to her about my struggles in life. How I had to deal with the downfall of their marriage and how it has affected me over the last few years. I wish she had just ended things in good way rather than introducing a man that has become the bane of my existence. I wish she hadn't pushed me to accept him knowing the pain he caused both me and my dad and he doesn't seem to feel any remorse.

She cried heavily this time and said she knows now how wrong it was but she thought that if I accepted my step-dad then the affair wouldn't look so bad on her. I wanted to tell her that she was stupid and that's not how it works. I asked her why she was so obsessed with Layla (dad's gf). She told me that eversince their divorce there has always been a little spark of hope that someday her and dad would be together. She knows it is foolish for her to think that. But her subconscious mind was telling her that she and dad are the end game. But learning that he has moved on and started dating just freaked her out. I told her that is bullshit because she was the one who married her AP and went on to have a family with him. It is so disgusting and immoral for her to even think that especially after she was the one who cheated and left. If she still thinks that she has a chance with dad then she is either delusional or simply stupid. She doesn't get to dictate how others feel and doesn't get to control what I feel. She says she understands and has been a mess for a long time. She open up about her own marital situation (which is not good atm). I also shared my story of being cheated on. She tried to hug me and said it will be ok. It just made me angry. I told her I don't need her sympathy now. Especially in matters of cheating. I do love her as a mother. I am grateful that she has cared for me and especially being honest with me about this situation. But I do not want to talk to her now. I wanna go LC until she sorts things that are messed up with her. She needs therapy and she only should focus on my half-brother. After our conversation ended my mom and dad talked in his room. I didn't try to eavesdrop or tried to listen so I do not know what they talked. But after coming out of the room, my mom looked very defeated. After that we talk a little and she bid us goodbye.

I did tell her that I want her in my graduation and other big events but I want to have some boundaries when it comes to my step-dad. So that closes mom chapter for a while. And yes, my dad knows about my mom's meltdown and that's why he wanted to talk to her in private. I don't think this issue is solved here. I honestly laughed a little because my dad and my mom has not been in contact for a long time and he should know. On the bright side, I did get to meet Layla's kids. Ever since my dad became sick, she has been coming frequently to cook or clean. Sometimes she would bring her kids and I do enjoy playing with them. I always wished to have siblings and now I have 3. Hopefully this will be my last update. I honestly thank anyone who has given me some good advice and comments. I hope you guys have a lovely life. And thank you so much for the support.
