indiscretion is advised

"Wasn't going through one horrible divorce enough for you? Do you honestly think, after that, that relationships just burn out?! It won’t be that easy to end, this’ll blow up in your face.
How naive can you be? These are people, these are people's feelings! You're being stupid if you think they'll just fade away!"

That's what I said to my mother. What's worse is she just looked at me tired and sadly.
Maybe at eighteen I'm still really fucking immature.
I just can't get over her affair. It disgusts me, it disgusts me that the man is married and that he's also my fathers best friend.
It disgusts and annoys me that my mother drives to a hotel more and more frequently now and that, even worse, she takes her dirty laundry there to be dry-cleaned for free and doesn't even think about how my dirty laundry will get by!

I don't know why I can't shut my mouth, she's my mother and the respect I show her would fill a monopoly thimble, at best.
