Losing a parent is never easy, but it can become even more challenging when the remaining parent starts to date someone who was disliked by the deceased. In this case, the son’s father started dating the one woman his late mother despised the most. The tension between the two women was palpable, and it continued even when they worked together.
The son’s father, however, fell in love with her and started to paint a different picture. This choice of partner has caused a rift with the mother’s family, who believes that the father dishonored her memory. It doesn’t help that the son’s father talks about his late wife as though she would have approved of his new relationship.
During a dinner with his fiancee and her parents, the son called his father out on his disrespectful comments toward his late mother’s enemy. The father accused him of trying to hurt him and not respecting his choice.
