Sometimes, reality is harsh. It certainly was for this family when this husband and son lost their wife and mother during the son's birth. The father "never recovered" from his wife's death and continued to blame his son for it well into adulthood. Take a slightly different frame of mind for a moment… Wouldn't you want to hold onto your child and nurture them the best you could BECAUSE they were the last living remnants of your deceased spouse? Wouldn't that be most people's reaction?
This thread was posted to AITA where the son, Reddit user u/toldhiswifeee, posted the topic with the title "AITA for revealing to my dad's wife the real reason why me and him were never close?"
He and his father became estranged and had no contact for a long time. When his dad remarried when the son was an adult his father's new wife wanted to meet him. The son learned that his father had apparently sold her a story along the lines of how they had become distant during the boy's teenage years, which was a shock to him. He immediately told his dad's wife the truth, which immediately put the new marriage in jeopardy.
What do you think? Was he wrong for revealing the truth?
