hi, i’m 21m. just graduated. came back home from uni. stayed away from my home for the past 3 years rarely came back home (thrice)

i’m a single child and the relationship between my mom and dad hasn’t ever been great. my dad is kind, he cares, innocent, but he’s slightly verbally abusive. my mom is good too, but she’s not at all understanding & has never tried to understand my dad properly. they’re also not at all compatible emotionally and in every way possible.

the thing is, i caught my mom cheating on my dad 4 years ago when i was in 12th. she was texting her colleague, i saw those texts and they were nsfw. i was one of the most traumatic events in my life & i haven’t shared it to anyone but i confronted her and told it to my dad immediately.
i was immature & a child back then and i didnt know how my dad reacted but he was soft & asked my mom politely to stop all these.

yesterday, i saw my mom talking to someone intensely on call, and when i entered her room, she cut the call and tried to hide her phone. i didnt react much and acted as if i didnt see anything.
but later, when i checked her call log, all the calls were deleted.

what should i do now? i’m pretty she’s cheating again. she becomes all cagey and lies if i confront her. my mental state is fucked and i’ve been traumatized since yesterday, couldnt sleep, couldnt eat anything.
