Bit of a back story:
My parents were married for 25+ years but for at least the last 5 of those my mom was having an affair. My dad found out and it broke him. They divorced shortly after in 2015 and it was messy. We were all dragged through family court and his mental health got so bad he attempted suicide. For me and my sister it was also a horrible experience and to see him in this condition.
Fast forward to now:
This affair has been going on for over 10 years. I say affair, because the person she is with is STILL married. His family have no idea about this situation and are still together in blissful naivety. I guess I am bitter because he still has his family unit, house, etc etc and an affair while our family went through so much crap. I know these things happen, people split up, no one is perfect. But his attitude and blatent disrespect towards his own family I cannot fathom. Despite my mother and I have numerous conversations about her situation and how uncomfortable it makes me, she still insists on inviting him over and trying to open a conversation between us. I have explicitly stated I want nothing to do with him.
Am I being unreasonable? Is there a solution to this complicated issue I can help with?
tl;dr - Mom is having a 10 year+ affair with a married man and wants me to be friends with him.
