This mom followed up with far too little, far too late when she decided to attempt to forge a relationship with her 26-year-old son after abandoning him 12 years before. The reason for her sudden change of heart? His impending nuptials.
I used to be a wedding coordinator, so I've seen all sides of the wedding industry and let me tell you, weddings bring out the best (and the worst) in everybody. So when this deadbeat mom came out of the woodwork to badger her son about their 'mother-son' dance during the wedding reception, he was right to refuse.
After she remarried and moved on to a new family, u/Successful-Tank-851 was devastated. At only 8 years old, he lost his mother figure and decided there and then that he didn't need one. Keep scrolling to read how this man, now grown into a mature adult, drew some healthy boundaries with a long-lost family member who only decided to come out of the woodwork to capitalize on an open bar and a free buffet at his wedding.
