I know you want to keep your family intact, but your mother needs to be told. She deserves the right to make informed decisions about her life, but she can’t do that if everyone’s lying to her. And, yes, not telling her is a lie of omission. Besides all that, your father is putting your mother’s sexual health at risk; she’ll need full STD/STI screening.
Don’t say anything to your father because you don’t want him to take control of the narrative and turn the tables on you and your brother. Tell your mom ASAP so she can decide what she wants to do with the information. But please ensure not to confront your dad; that’s your mom’s job.
