Today, my father seems to be having an affair. A used condom was carelessly left on his nightstand and my mother found it. She refuses to believe that my boyfriend and I are not responsible. As punishment I am "no longer allowed to see him." We're both 22 and live together in our own apartment. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad found condoms in my room and kicked me out of the house. I know I’m 22 but I have nowhere to go. When I told him this, he threw a rolling suitcase at me and told me, “You have somewhere to go now - your boyfriend’s house!” I don’t even have a boyfriend, just casual random hookups. FML
Today, while at my boyfriend's house waiting for him to shower, his mother slams a pair of underwear on the table and tells me that if she ever finds something like that in her son's room again, she is forbidding him from seeing me. The underwear isn't mine. FML
Today, my dad caught me having sex with my secret boyfriend, so he threw him naked into the street. I’m 28 years-old and it’s my house. This kind of bullshit is exactly the reason I kept my boyfriend a secret and why I got a mortgage I can barely afford, just so I didn’t live with my dad anymore. FML
Today, my father decided that since he's paying for my flat, he will use it twice a week to have it off with his girlfriend while I'm away. My parents are still together. FML
Today, my dad somehow found some pictures of my boyfriend having sex with some girl and went on a rampage about how pissed he was that he was cheating on me. I had to explain to my parents that I was the girl in the pictures. FML
Today, after I grounded my barely 18 year-old daughter for having sex with her boyfriend when I found a pack of condoms in her room while cleaning it, she responded by moving out and eloping with him. FML
Today, my dad gave my younger brother condoms and a pat on the back, even though he doesn't have a girlfriend. This is after called me a whore after he saw me kissing my long-term boyfriend last week. FML
Today, my mum cleaned my room. When I got home she yelled at me for having condoms. I'm 24 years old and in a long term relationship. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my mom and started acting strange. Then my dad came in and was instantly furious. Apparently, my boyfriend is the guy my mom cheated with that caused my parent's divorce. He’s 3 years younger than I am. Gross mom, just gross. Also I’m single again, damn it. FML
Today, my boyfriend's parents decided that I was untrustworthy and that if they ever saw him with me he'd be heavily punished. They're travelling hundreds of miles just to make sure he stays in the house and doesn't talk to me. FML

Well being 22 implies that she has no right to tell you what to do.

You're 22. You live on your own. You're free to do what you want.

Just a thought. Maybe your mother knows it was your father, is in denial and refusing to accept the truth by shifting the blame.

Maybe it is from the mom...and she can't blame the dad because he will know it was not him...

Odds are she suspects that it's really your fathers. Blaming it on you is her way of trying to repress the information, and trying to punish you for it is a way for her to control the situation.

Good luck with that, Mom.

and how's does your mom believes that you guys leave a used condom on your parents bedroom night stand...

Your mom is probably in denial, that's a pretty brutal truth to accept.

I really hate people who are in denial. Her problem isn't gonna get fixed by ignoring it. She needs you OP.

Denial is the brains way of trying to lessen the effect of negative information on our mental health. Sure the problem won't get fixed by denial, but some information can hit you so hard that you have trouble breathing. It's just a way of funneling that pain into smaller amounts until you're capable of handling it in full and know how to react. It's a coping mechanism as long as it doesn't last forever.

Your mother's overreaction makes me think it's her that's having the affair....

Good luck on her enforcing that one.

It's rough but try and be there for her. Clearly don't take her irrationality to heart. This situation sounds like it's not the first time. She is making outrageous mental leaps to allow herself to believe her marriage is intact. Bring it up with your father, his "extra curricular activities" are ruining your mother. She needs help and needs to check back into reality.
