The teenager discovered through a love message on their mother's phone that she is having an affair with a man who also moved to their new country. Their father remains in their home country unable to get a visa. The teenager is unsure what to do as the affair goes against their culture and religion. The response advises the teenager not to judge their mother, as people can change and affairs often happen after marriages breakdown, with both partners equally responsible. The teenager is told to observe how their parents deal with the situation before deciding what is best for them, and to not blame or judge either parent.
