however... you must support your mom and help her and cheer her up instead of letting the pain in. Try not to get involved and let her decide everything. Remember that it's her life!! Maybe your stepdad is simply doing through a phase... don't be judgemental.
You and your family are in my prayers - mind you, I don't do that all that often  ! |
I was with my ex for 20 years. Different circumstances, it was me that wanted out. Your step father has chosen the most cruel way possible. He must be very weak, a stronger man would be able to bear the guilt in a more responsible, compassionate way. Your mother will need someone to lean on for a while, you can do that for her if you are able. Make sure you express the anger against your step father somewhere else, she may not be able to handle that as well as everything else.
