Denial

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

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

It's probably just hard for her to cope with the idea that her husband is cheating on her

Am I the only one grossed out by the fact that a used condom was left on the nightstand?

Your response to your Mom should of been, sorry Mom, we don't use condoms.

then I don't think she can do anything about it

Maybe its your mom's....so she has to blame you so your dad doesn't figure out she is cheating...

Your are 22, your mommy can't tell you who you can or can't be seeing. If you still listen to everything she tells you, I don't know how your going to survive out in this adult world. Also I would just call your father out on it, since he's dumb enough to cheat and stupid enough to leave evidence.

OP is already surviving in this "adult world." She has an apartment. No one said she was listening to her mother's rules. Your condescension makes me think you didn't even read the FML.

Denial can be very powerful. She's just lashing out at you to avoid dealing with the truth and her feelings

I could understand if you're 22 and still living at your parent's house she has every right to tell you what to do. But if you live on your own with him, then what your mother says shouldn't matter to you. She is over reacting and being delusional blaming you for something you didnt do.
