At first, it seemed like this woman was a saint. Then, it became clear that she straight up liked her son's ex more than her son.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Bun_Range363, who clearly thought she was in the right when she was writing this. But people sounded off in the comments online and were very upfront about where she went wrong. It's one thing to show sympathy to your son's ex when she has no place to stay. It's another to choose to attend her college graduation over your own son's graduation.
This mother clearly felt her son made a mistake in his relationship, and based on what we know from the few details given, he very well may have. But he was 17. And he's her kid. It's tough to watch people on these threads try to justify stupid decisions that are just begging to be criticized. The lack of self-awareness is eye-opening. Like this woman wrote this and genuinely thought we'd all understand.
