  • OP you have given us way little information. How was your parents marriage before this blow up? Were you not close with your mother before? You mention you are close with your father but nothing about mother. Also were you upset or angry by the actions of your father? From the information you have shared (that you are staying with your dad and his mistress), it seems that you are not bothered by what is happening.

    Now based on the limited information you have given, your father is clearly the guilty party here. He did something that is morally wrong. Hopefully you understand that. Your mom is very hurt and must feeling betrayed (slightly even by you because you chose to stay with your dad and his mistress). In that emotional state, she is making a unreasonable request to you (to go no contact with your dad). If you want a good relationship with mom, you will have sit down with her and reach an understanding and compromise with her. Maybe you can go to therapy with her like some other commenters suggested. One thing I am sure about is that if you side with father on everything, you will end up estranged from your mom.






  • I just watched the race highlights (was traveling so couldn’tcatch the race). Nothing controversial about the penalty that max got. He was clearly behind piastri while entering the corner and hence piastri was not obliged to give him any space. The way people were talking about it, I thought they piastri tried to outbrake max from behind and pushed him out. Max has himself done this many times (gaining a slight but clear lead into T1 and pushing the car on the outside off the track when the guy does not yield), T1 Imola 2021 being a prime example.

    Piastri keeps impressing again and again. Great start, consistent pace throughout and pulled off that daring pass on Hamilton because the situation demanded it. Verstappen too was impressive, bad start and grumpy mood notwithstanding. How he is inserting himself into what should be 2-horse title battle is impressive. Leclerc was also solid, absolutely maximizing that car.





  • That was a great race. So many great performances as well - piastri with the dominant win, russell dragging the fast but buggy merc to 2nd, gasly being ahead of several of the big guns for most of the race, Yuki making it into the points in just his 2nd red bull weekend and Haas in general nailing the strategies with their drivers also executing.

    The wheel to wheel racing was also insane. These modern cars are good for racing but now need wider circuits. The old circuits are unfortunately too narrow for these behemoths.
