My dad just found out tonight from the attorneys letter. My mom has said nothing to me or my sister about it. A few days ago I had some suspicions so I started to intercept some of her incoming work and personal email. Tonight, my father and I looked over these emails and found that she is seeing someone. This is probably the main cause of the divorce. If my parents get divorced, we will lose our wonderful cottage, a condo in Mexico, and obviously our family. It will also f*ck up our financial situation as well. How do I convince my mom that seeing this man is not the best for my sister and I, and will cause more hardships than good?

wow. How cruel of her... tell her:Think about the FAMILY. She took a vow on the day of her marriage & now she's taking it back. If not for your father for YOU!!! Think about how it will ruin YOUR life. Your SISTER'S life. You've been a good boy. Haven't you?
Beg and plead. Do ALL that you can. If it still doesn't work out back off and respect her decision. It may mean ALOT to her.

If your dad can get her into family counseling, there may be hope. Chances are, this marriage was broken a long time ago for her to not only stray but actually leave the marriage to go with another man. Your dad may not realize that he is 1/2 of that equation. Most men don't understand that something is wrong until it is past the boiling point.
Other than that about all he can do is shield his assets... gather up any financial statements and be ready for a fight.
All you and your sister can do is try to be supportive fo both parents, and keep trying to get everyone into counseling.

You can't control you mother's decisions, but you can talk to you about your relationship. Let her know that a divorce and a new person to deal with is too much at once, and you are very hurt that she didn't talk to you. I'm sure she loves you and and your sister and you are very important in her life. I doubt this decision was a spur of the moment thing. Your mom has probably made up her mind. Kids don't really know the nuances of parent relationships. Your parents may have been having trouble and you just didnt know. Your mom just may not have known how to tell you face to face. Talk to her now though and be as understanding as you can and she will show you the same understanding with your feelings I'm sure.
