She noticed her son, Tyler, seemed uncomfortable with all the attention, so she decided to confront Marius. Little did she know, there was more to the story than meets the eye.

After confronting Marius about his constant presence at their home, this mom found out the real reason behind it: Marius had recently come out to his dad, who wasn’t taking it well, and he’d been avoiding going home. She had unknowingly asked him to stay away without knowing the full story. Although Tyler was uncomfortable with all the attention, he was putting up with it for Marius’ sake. This situation raises the question: did the mom do the right thing, or was she too quick to judge? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
