But what happens when your other family doesnt understand this?
Unnecessary conflicts and heartbreak, sadly.
Two married women had been planning to go to one of their parents 25th wedding anniversary.
However, just days before the celebration, tragedy struck: the other womans mother passed away.
But instead, their decision to skip the event was met with disappointment and even hostility.
So the first woman made a post on the subreddit Am I the [Jerk]?
to find out if she and her partner could have handled the situation better.
But at some point, you do become one and start to make your own decisions.
Overbearing parents may have good intentions.
But they can make you feel shameful and overwhelmed when you shouldnt.
