This whole story is fucking wild.

So my sister's wedding reception was this last week. My mom's friend and her daughter flew in to stay with my parents and they went to the wedding. My mom's ring went missing and she accused her friend's daughter without any proof and called her a (TW: mean lgtbq word) dike; then of course they got in a huge screaming match. When her friend got back home, she wrote on my mom's Facebook wall "Mompooplol had an affair with Dadpooplols Cousin" out of spite or something, idk. She took it down like 10 minutes later, but my brother saw it. At first we just dismissed it as her making shit up to smear my mom, but I thought it sounded too weirdly specific to be made up and I couldnt let it go. so I messaged my mom's friend last night and was like "Hey, is what you said true? I'm sorry for my mom's behavior, that was out of line. I just want to know the truth". And she admitted it was true with enough details that I believe her.

A little more context my dad had a stroke back in 2014, and it left him pretty handicapped on the left side. My moms friend told me my mom had been feeling pretty lonely in that regard since then.

Now I feel completely awful. I have loads of anger and resentment toward my mom. But Idk if I should tell my siblings or my dad. Hes pretty much dependent on my mom, so I think the only thing that would come from it would be a lot of hurt feelings. But my mom just messaged me this morning about some pretty banal stuff, and I almost had a panic attack.

This is really rough :( My wife is helping me find a therapist now, but in the meantime Im having a lot of trouble. My dad is one of my favorite people in the whole world. And my mom betrayed him with one of his only friends.
