my mom and dad seperated last year. yesterday, i was borrowing my mom's phone, then it beeped. I thought the message was for me(from my mom, she has two phones) so i opened it. then it turns out the message was for my mom. i'm pretty sure her ex-boyfriend sent her that message. but from what i know, they're only friends now. there was some sort of code and i think it meant "luv yu", at the end of the message there was "Muah". friends don't really say that to each other do they? her ex-boyfriend is now living in another country. me and mom are going to that country this year and we're meeting him there. the reason my mom and dad seperated was because of her ex-boyfriend--and he took drugs too that time(my dad).from that message, is there something going on between them? or am i being completely paranoid? oh and should i confront my mom about this? i wud really appreciate your help! tnx in advance!

Divorce has never been easy on anyone. Especially when it comes to children. For this particular issue, there is a certain way to approach it.
1. Go to your mom and tell her that you unintentionally read that message.
2. Explain to her that you are concerned and feeling uncomfortable with this situation.
3. If your mom thinks you are too young to understand these things, just take it as it is. But end by saying, "If there is anything in future, i can come to you. Right?"
4. If she starts telling you the truth (whatever it may be). Don't freak out. Remember, she is a matured adult. No matter how right or wrong she may be, she is still your mom. She deserves the right of privacy. On the other hand, just be patient and learn to respect her decisions.

As far as something going on between them, it's difficult to tell with this little information.
I am not sure if confronting your Mom is going to help the situation because I don't really know what you are trying to achieve here.
The term "Muah" when spoken usually means kisses--or to send kisses. But in online acronyms it means "Multiple unsuccesful attempts at humor" [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]
