Son Tells His Mom That She Was Never A Single Mother, Mom Gets Upset

OP’s parents divorced when they were seven, mainly because their dad had an affair. The divorce happened because their parents were pressured into marriage by their own parents and never had a strong connection. Their mom later remarried to Owen, who was indifferent to OP. As a result, OP preferred their dad’s home, where they had a stepmom, Emma, who treated them well.

Now, OP is getting married to Kate, who has a good relationship with Emma but a more distant one with their mom. When Kate asked their mom to wear yellow for the wedding, things took a bad turn. Their mom reacted negatively, saying it wasn’t fair and making some unreasonable comments. OP pointed out that their mom wasn’t a single mom, given her marriage to Owen. This escalated into a heated argument, with Owen getting involved. OP’s mom called Kate names and refused to wear yellow, leading to a major disagreement. It’s clear that OP’s preference for their dad and Emma has caused ongoing tension, but the argument over the wedding dress has escalated the situation.
