Mom protests when 17-year-old son calls her out for starting a relationship 2 weeks after his dad passed: 'He and my mom were married for 20 years'

While pretty much everybody experiences the pain of grief at some point, it can be a mighty strange thing to experience. Many like to say that everybody processes it differently, and that certainly seems to be the case when you look at the lives of some people. It is hard to judge until you know what it is like, but at the same time, the approach that others take can sometimes seem alien even to those who have experienced the pain of losing someone close to them.

It is not uncommon for those who are grieving to find a distraction to take them away from the pain, whether that be something or someone. The trouble is that this might not always be the best idea, and others close to them may not approve of this method. Making a radical life change because somebody else's has ended doesn't always wind up being bad, but it can do.

AITA for confronting my mom after she started seeing someone 2 weeks after my dad passed away?

via No-March-3549
This was how one bereaved teenage son felt when his mom started dating somebody new, only a couple of weeks after his dad passed away. When she told him, he was shocked. He confronted her, saying that he felt it was too soon for her to start another relationship and that it disrespected both his feelings and his late father.
His mom insisted that he didn't understand what she was going through, and this led to a tense dynamic between them. He wanted to know if he had gone too far.
