i don't know what to make of these prescriptions for herpes medicine I have found lying around
So a few months ago, i found a prescription for my mom for valtrex this cream that's for herpes, shingles, and other things. I asked my therapist because i panicked and she told me it could have been for shingles, what adults get if they didn't have chicken pox when they were younger, so i let it go. Well recently i found another prescription that was written to my mo about a month ago for zovirax. And on it said 15 gm ointment, apply to lesion for 7 days and now i am starting to wonder what is going on? i don't want o jump to conclusions again, but i am worried about her. She never told me about either prescriptions. Her and my dad have been having problems since they got married. But i am starting to wonder if one of them cheated on the other. I don't know why but my mom did tell me once that my dad forced her to have sex. Not only that my mom works late a lot. I ask her what she does, and if she even goes to work because i wonder sometimes, and she gets defensive so i don't know, i know it's none of my business what she does but now i found this out so i am really scared and concerend. I don't want to make assumptions, but it wasn't like i was looking for stuff, i just found it sitting in the laundry room in my house. So what should i do?

First this particular medication is used to lessen the effects of cold sores. The following is a lift from the manufactures Website:
"ZOVIRAX Cream is a prescription antiviral that goes straight to the cold sore. It offers you flexibility—you can use ZOVIRAX Cream at any stage of a cold sore, including the tingle—because the acyclovir in ZOVIRAX Cream specifically targets the cells that have been invaded by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). Once it gets into these cells, it stops the virus from copying itself, causing shorter outbreaks. That's how you know ZOVIRAX Cream goes to work right at the source. Keep in mind, ZOVIRAX Cream is not a cure for herpes, but it may lessen the duration of pain and shorten the length of your cold sore outbreak."
I would say give your mother the benefit of the doubt her that this cream is being used to stave of the effects of recurring cold sores.
As parent we are not always right in what we do or say, were human and we do make mistakes. Where we are rarely wrong is what we tell our children or not tell our children about any problems we may be having between us. These are our problems and should not and very rarely affect the love we have for our children. This is the primary reason we try so hard to hide any problems the two of us may be having from our children.
If one of your parents cheated on the other, that is a problem that they have to workout between them. There is nothing you can do about it, it happened ad it is over. There is no reason for you to love one or the other less than the other because of it. They are still your parents and there love for you hasn't changed why should yours for them?
I know a lot of what I said may not make much sense. As parents one of our jobs is to protect our children. Some of us do better at this then others. Sometimes we should prepare our children instead of protect them from whatever may be happening so that they are prepared for what ever fallout occurs. Problem again is we are human and you guys do not come with a book on proper parenting we learn on th job.
In closing; Your mother does not owe you an explanation for any medication she is using. It would be nice but it is not a requirement if she and your dad told you where their marriage stood. For whatever reason your mom is using this medication you are not at risk of getting Herpes from her unless she has an active lesion you can come in contact with, such as a cold sore.
The fact that this medication was just left out where anyone could see it tells me you are making something out of nothing. I see nothing at this point to be scared about.
