A WOMAN has revealed that she was left distraught after discovering that her boyfriend was having an affair with her own mother. Brooke, now 26, was just 17 when she started dating her first boyfriend, who she referred to as M when recounting her story.

M, 18, was a friend of her brother's so was often at the family home, which Brooke loved, as she felt lucky to have a boyfriend who was close with her family. However, looking back Brooke believes that she ignored a lot of red flags in the relationship.
"My mum was like immediately very attached to us," she told the We're All Insane podcast. "She would be very supportive of me like wanting to go do things with him and hang out and stuff like that and sometimes would even like offer to come along and take us.".
Brooke began getting concerned when her mother began buying similar clothes to hers, and started making an effort to look younger. "She was highlighting her hair so it was bright blonde like mine and just like like acting and kind of putting herself out there as looking younger", she revealed.
Brooke's mum then began seeking approval from M on her new look, and acted as if she was a friend to the couple, rather than an elder. During this period, Brooke's mother began going on outings "to the store" or "for a run" and would come back in a "completely different mood.".
