Slowly, over time, things may improve, but right now, they're both probably walking on eggshells ... and maybe afraid that if they talk to you seriously about anything that you'll tell the other parent. So maybe fear and distrust are lingering below the surface of it all. Your dad's affair was the problem, not you telling your mom. But people have a tendency to resent the messenger, which is wrong, but that is, unfortunately, the way most humans respond. They're only human and that means they'll make plenty of mistakes in life. If you can forgive them for upsetting the entire family dynamic, things may slowly improve. At least, you'll know that you're doing the right thing, even if they take longer to settle down.

You're probably right... I haven't really been able to forgive them for all these stuff. Maybe i should give their time and at the same while, i may try to clear things up in my head. Accepting what happened seems to be the very first step of moving on.
Thanks a lot for your support and good wishes
