One story I heard was that a kid noticed his mom was always texting someone and being very secretive about it. Then one day, he saw her meeting a man in a coffee shop when she was supposed to be at work. It led to a big family drama and a lot of hurt feelings all around.
I don't have personal experience with this situation directly. But I've heard of cases where a child might notice strange behavior from their mom, like secret phone calls or unexplained absences. It can be a very difficult and confusing situation for the family.
In some stories, the signs of a mom 'cheating' (it could be cheating on her partner in different ways like emotional affairs) might be more subtle. For example, a daughter noticed that her mom was dressing up a lot more than usual and seemed to be lost in thought often. When she finally confronted her mom about it, it turned out that her mom was having an inappropriate relationship with a co - worker. This led to a long process of family therapy and trying to repair the relationships within the family.
A friend of mine once told me that her younger brother caught their dad coming out of a hotel with another woman. The brother was so young but he knew it was something wrong. He was really angry at his dad and started acting out in school because he couldn't handle the stress of what he saw at home. He eventually told his mom which led to a big family drama.
When caught cheating, students usually get a failing grade on that assignment or exam. For example, in my school, if a teacher caught you looking at someone else's paper, you'd immediately get a zero for that test.
One example is in a school exam. A student was caught looking at their neighbor's paper. The invigilator noticed the student constantly glancing sideways and then found that their answers were exactly the same as the other student's for several difficult questions. Another case was in a relationship. A partner was caught cheating when the other one accidentally saw text messages on their phone that clearly showed an affair with someone else.
One caught gay story could be about a young man who was secretly in a relationship with another man. They were caught sharing a tender moment in a park by an acquaintance. At first, they were terrified of the reaction, but it turned out the acquaintance was very accepting and became a great support for them in coming out to their families later.
A situation could be that mom is caught lying about her whereabouts to be with the other person. For instance, she says she's going to a work - related event but is actually meeting her lover. The family might start to suspect when she has inconsistent stories about where she has been or when she's late coming home too often without a valid reason.
There was this one time a girl was staying in a college dorm. She thought her roommate had gone out for the day. As she was in the middle of it, her roommate came back early because she forgot something. It led to a very awkward situation and they had to have a long talk about privacy later.
Well, one story I heard was about a guy who thought he was alone in the house. He was in his room and didn't lock the door. His sister came home early and walked right in. He was so embarrassed and didn't know what to say. It was a really awkward situation for both of them.
One story could be that a crossdresser was trying on some female clothes in their room. Their mom suddenly walked in to put away some laundry. She was shocked at first, but then she sat down and had a long talk with her child. She expressed that she loved her child no matter what and just wanted them to be happy and true to themselves.
There was a young man who was caught crossdressing by his sister. He was trying on their mother's old dresses. His sister was initially surprised but instead of being judgmental, she helped him keep it a secret from their conservative parents until he was ready to talk about it. She also lent him some of her clothes that were more suitable for his crossdressing attempts. This support from his sister really helped him gain confidence in expressing himself in this way.
One story could be a woman who noticed her husband was spending an excessive amount of time with a male coworker. She found text messages on his phone that were very affectionate and had plans for secret meetings. It was a shock for her as she had no idea about his same - sex attraction before that.
