Conflicts are inevitable, and that's a fact. They will happen at your workplace, with your closest friends and even with your next-door neighbor. Just think about it – we live on a flying orb where every single one of us has contrasting views on things, so, in reality, it would've been quite odd for every person to get along. Some folks are more restrained, and they'll always find a way to overcome any unnecessary dispute – others like to get their point across, even if they're wrong. It's an unpleasant and highly distressing process that can seriously mess with one's well-being, and it's crucial to look for a more peaceful way out whenever possible. Family dramas – on the other hand – are way different to your typical altercations due to the emotional connection that they hold; and even if you had the most supportive bond throughout your whole life, you never know if there'll be a fight that will get you disowned by your own parent. More info: Reddit
Image source: stillunsureabout Time went by and they fell in love – however, the couple decided not to tell anyone. Once the relationship got serious, they finally announced that they were together and, naturally, the family wasn't so pumped about it. It even got to the point where the OP's mother didn't talk to either of them for a while. A few months later, the man's partner got pregnant and everyone went absolutely ballistic; his sister started spreading unnecessary rumors about their "affair", saying that they'd been together before his brother passed away, which, of course, wasn't true.
Image source: stillunsureabout The situation totally went out of control and even split the family into two camps. The author's mother practically disowned him, saying that she didn't have a son anymore because he had disrespected his late brother's memory. The couple then realized that it was too much to handle, so they moved away and blocked everyone for the sake of having a fresh start. They're now married, have a 3-year-old and are pregnant with their second baby. Later on, the man's family decided to turn up, completely out of the blue, requesting to make "amends" so that they could be a part of their lives. They've apologized a thousand times, blaming everything on the grief – however, the spouses talked it over and agreed that they would only consider it if the family would publicly apologize and admit to all the rumors they spread about their relationship.
Image source: stillunsureabout As expected, the author's family refused to do so, as they're extremely ashamed and embarrassed of what they did, plus, it would be tough for them since everybody who would see that apology live around them. The mother then went on to explain that she completely understands that she hurt the couple, yet she begged them not to make it any harder. Moreover, the OP's dad believes that the man's behavior is quite petty, since he thinks that his mother and everyone involved have already learned their lessons. Image source: Quinn Dombrowski (not the actual photo) The dad also questioned the author demanding an explanation as to why he is trying to put his own mother through such distress after she's been through enough with the loss of her son, while also backing her up by saying that she only wants her family back.

I did not take this well at all. I felt it was way too soon and I did wonder if their relationship had started before my dad had passed (although I now think that's very unlikely). Anyways, I never even considered announcing my suspicions publicly. I had several emotional, a few angry, conversations with my mom regarding this matter and I learned how hard being alone was for her.

It is patently obvious that their sudden need to get together with you is so they can see your son. There is no way you should allow them back into your life again. People who truly love you would NEVER have done the evil things to you that they did! Think about it: they willingly destroyed your reputation and your life with vicious lies! Do you really want these people around your wife & children? God knows what they would say to your children or what they would do to you again if things do not go their way. Their motives are clearly suspicious when they are now making themselves appear as the victims so they can control you. This is narcissism & they will access your children. Do not let them into your life ever again or misery will result. 3 3points reply Skylar Jaxx Skylar Jaxx Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago That's why I read I was prepared for you just don't do that.

Proper apologies/amends are proportional to the harm. If I bump into you by accident, a short 'Whoops, my bad' works fine. If I back into your car, I pay for the repairs. Public defamation requires public reparation. 19 19points reply Load More Replies... Nikki Sevven Nikki Sevven Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago NTA. If the family truly cared, they would fall over themselves to make it right again. Instead, they want a pass for their horrible actions and statements. A real apology includes atonement. 41 41points reply Tina Newman Tina Newman Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago Actually, if they really cared, they would never have started that garbage in the 1st place. 12 12points reply Load More Replies... PazDores PazDores Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago That's what I was thinking! Grief can make you do weird things but they're still adults and need to own up to their actions. 3 3points reply Devon M Devon M Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 2 months ago Agree! Yes, grief can make a person act irrationally, but this is too much. My dad passed away two years ago and my mom started dating a long time friend of the family only a few months later. I did not take this well at all. I felt it was way too soon and I did wonder if their relationship had started before my dad had passed (although I now think that's very unlikely). Anyways, I never even considered announcing my suspicions publicly. I had several emotional, a few angry, conversations with my mom regarding this matter and I learned how hard being alone was for her. I ultimately decided I do want her in my life and I want her to be happy. Even when I was at my lowest point in my grief and anger, I never wanted to ruin my mom's life. So I really can't see where this guy's family is coming from, they sound horrible and need to make a public apology. 0 0points reply Rubber Bandman Rubber Bandman Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago People are allowed to go one with their lives, after a death and fall in love again. I don't know what's wrong with people. I'm glad these two found each other!! 37 37points reply Tina Newman Tina Newman Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago I had to read the article because I wanted to know just how soon it was. I thought it was really soon but it was more than 3 years after the death. They would never be back in my life.. 9 9points reply Load More Replies... Jo Rich Jo Rich Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago People who say they are sorry but refuse to openly announce it or reverse the damage they have done to your reputation are not sorry at all.
