A woman shares her story of how her controlling mother took her son on a day trip without permission, leading to a frantic search and involving the police. The daughter was understandably upset and accused her mother of kidnapping her son. However, the mother lied to the police, claiming she had permission. The daughter is now being called an a**hole for accusing her mother of kidnapping and potentially affecting her mother’s job as a nurse. The situation has caused a rift in the family, with some members taking the mother’s side and others supporting the daughter. Despite feeling grief over her son missing out on having another grandmother, the daughter stands by her decision to cut ties with her mother. What do you think ? Was it kidnapping or just a misunderstanding?
