Our protagonist has been living a peaceful life on a ranch with his horse, Mary, and his pseudo-uncle after being abandoned by his mom at the age of 16. But when his mom unexpectedly shows up, demanding he leave his life behind and ‘come home,’ tensions flare. Refusing to dismount from his horse, our protagonist sarcastically agrees to her demands, setting off a heated exchange between the two. ️ Even his pseudo-uncle gets involved, threatening to call the cops if she doesn’t leave. Later, his dad sends a text, calling him an a**hole for not even getting off his horse to speak with her. So, was our protagonist in the wrong? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
