I’m 14m, my sister is 16f, my parents are both in their 40s.

Recently, it was revealed that my dad has been unfaithful to my mom for several years, with multiple women, and that resulted in a divorce. Due to a prenup, my dad got to keep everything like the house that he owned before the marriage.

My mom plans to move back in with her parents. My parents decided to let my sister and I decide who to live with. I knew my dad would be giving my mom the court mandated amount of child support, which by all means is decent, so I knew I wouldn’t starve, but still, my standard of living would become worse if I chose to live with my mom. As much as I think my mom is in the right for divorcing him, I don’t think living with her would be good for my comfort or my mental health, so I decided to stay with my dad.

My mom, and my sister that chose to live with her, saw this as a ‘betrayal’ from me and that by choosing to live with my dad, I endorsed his behavior. I don’t think that’s fair to put a child in a position where their well-being is in question and treat them choosing the best choice for their life a betrayal.

My sister called me and screamed at me that I was a huge AH for betraying my mom, but again, I don’t see it that way. I didn’t choose my dad because I think he’s right, I did because I know he can provide me a better life.

AITA?
