My(18m) mother(48) cheated on my dad with her former friend’s son(23) and divorced him for the guy five years ago. Ever since then I only visited her house every two months because each time they had to board their dog(he doesn’t do well with strangers) and they didn’t want to do it often. Last week, we met at a restaurant and I introduced my mother to my girlfriend.
Her husband said I could do better than a ‘Jap’ and that the Japanese are all ‘barbaric people’. Told me to break up with her and find someone else. I promptly told him I’d call him son of a bitch but it would be insulting to dogs, and that he has no say in my personal life. Then my girlfriend and I left(we hadn’t ordered anything yet).
My mother later called me and told me I didn’t have to go that far and embarrassed him in front of a couple of strangers who were sitting at the table next to us. She demanded an apology so I hung up. Was I wrong for embarrassing him publicly?
UPDATE : I just texted my mom. It was a long text, telling her how I put up with having to see her and the guy she left my dad for for years, and that now the guy she cheated with is trying to dictate who I can date. Told her she should be ashamed of herself for siding with him over me and that I’m done with them. Told her that I will never, ever see either of them again. Blocked her already.
