One parent lying to me

[AttackFormation]

This is something that happened 5-7 years ago and one of the foremost childhood issues still tearing at my mind.

So my mom made me with my dad, then she divorced him after I was born. When I was 4 she'd made a kid with a new guy, and then she moved in with him when I was 6 and married him some time. I think I was 9 when I pretty much interrogated her on why she got together with this new husband as the relationship was obviously a complete fvck-up and she admitted to me that it wasn't because she likes or loves him - she vaguely said that it was for support or something. But I don't think even that's the truth, because she had and has to support his low-intelligent dumb @ss, not the other way around.

Then she separated from him for three years when I was 16-19. Sometime during these three years, I got a phone call from my dad who told me my mom had sent him a letter saying she wants to get back together and that I also wanted that when she asked me. He told me not to mention this to my mom IIRC, which I wasn't planning on anyway. But when I years later brought this up because I wanted to know the truth, she said it was "nothing but fables and fantasies" that she would have sent such a letter.

Which one do you think is lying and most importantly why?

Water is wet and snow is cold. People lie all the time and your parents are people too. You should be worried about others things like living in Sweden. No offense.

People remember and say things to put themselves in the best light. They may even believe what they say.

You got dealt a sh*tty hand here. They're you're parents so give them props and respect from bringing you into the world. That's all you owe them.

YNK is right - parents are people too. Treat them accordingly.
