He truly needs someone to help keep the company running. On one hand, I want to tell everything to my mom right away and suggest that we both leave him; on the other, I feel like waiting until my own business segment is successful before revealing the truth. What should I do?

Thank you all for your comments. I originally posted because I was in a lot of pain and had no one to talk to. I’ve received various comments and messages, and I believe that you all genuinely want to help.
The two main concerns in the comments were about my mother’s financial situation and whether she has enough money to live independently. For the financial part, my mom currently has a significant amount of cash savings, commercial insurance, health insurance, and a stable monthly income of several thousand dollars from commercial insurance. She also owns a house, so financially, she wouldn’t have difficulties living on her own after leaving my father.
The other concern is her health. Unfortunately, she tested positive for several high-risk HPV indicators two years ago during a PAP test (could lead to cervical cancer). She underwent treatment for a year and is still in ongoing check-ups and treatment.
I had a suspicion back then because if partners are loyal to each other, it’s unlikely for a woman to contract that. But this means his cheating was earlier and more persistent than I thought.
