I’m sure it is hard for Mom right now, but she’s not in the room, so, we’re focusing on OPs well being.
It is not the kid’s responsibility to be their parent’s support team.
It is not the kid’s responsibility to dispense justice for the other parent.
Just because OP is the only character in this story we can interact with, it doesn’t mean that they need to right every wrong in it.

Then OP better be fine never talking to their mom again

Unless you are their mother and refuse to talk to them, that’s not up to you.
And if you are, or if she has the same plan, then OP would probably be better off without.

Yes, cause letting your child not only live with a cheater but the young ASSISTANT he fucked while still going through with your divorce is such a good move.
The dad obviously doesn’t make good choices. He’s only thinking about himself. And the child already thinks theyre the greatest.
Im not saying parents should never talk to their kids. But thats what’s going to happen if OP stays in the house with is dad and his YOUNG ASSISTANT THAT MOVED IN BEFORE THE DIVORCE SHE CAUSED IS EVEN FINAL

Let me be perfectly clear.
THIS IS NOT THE KID’S PROBLEM.
Forcing them to take sides has ONLY NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE CHILD. (
I know you REALLY feel for Mom, and want justice for her, and I don’t disagree with that, and I’m not defending Dad’s actions, but you need to be saying these things to Mom, or her peers (siblings, friends, HER parents)
You are trying to convince OP to weaponize themselves against their parent in order to enforce justice on someone that you don’t like and have never met.
Please stop.
