A lot of people say that family is the most important thing in life because it is where we learn how to interact with other people and how to love. But there are lots of stories when family is not that important, and people have to leave their parents or siblings because they can’t stand their behavior. It is hard to understand that they are hurting you because they are your family and it is your blood, but the mind always comes before blood.
This story is about a young man who loves his mom, but because of her husband, he doesn’t want to see her. So when it was her anniversary, he gave her a book about adult*ry. More info on Reddit .

A 16 year-old’s **anniversary** gift for his mom goes down in flames
A 16-year-old boy has experienced a difficult relationship with his mother after she had an affair and left the family when he was only 10. Despite the family’s attempts to reconcile, the teen has kept his distance, and when his father was away on business and his grandparents were out of town, the teen was invited to spend time with his mother and her new family.
When the mother and her husband’s anniversary arrived, the teen was feeling snarky and angry, so he got his mom a copy of Anna Karenina, a book about a woman who leaves her husband and son for her lover.
Unsurprisingly, the gift didn’t go down well, and the teen’s mother was heard crying in her room late that night. The teen now feels guilty for making his mother cry, but he doesn’t want to be around his mother’s new family.
Will the mother forgive her son for his poor gift choice, or will the family remain estranged? Read on for more comments and reactions to this story .
