Maya gets the blame after telling dad about her mum’s secret kiss
DEIDRE SAYS: Dear Maya. You should never have been put in this awkward position.
No child ever wants to be caught up in their parents’ relationship problems.
Let both of them know that you can’t be drawn into their issues, and don’t be tempted to start advising either of them.
Firmly tell them you love them both and hope they can respect your wishes.
If they want to work on their relationship, recommend they seek external support with their marriage.
A relationship counsellor will help them work out why their marriage is stagnating and if they can revive it.
You could suggest (020 7380 1960), who can connect them with reputable therapists.
Be reassured that even though your mum has kissed another man, this may be the wake-up call they need to improve their marriage.
