Family gatherings can be a battleground, especially when there’s a controversial figure in the mix. One mother found herself in the center of a family drama when her intelligent 13-year-old daughter decided to go no-contact with her grandmother’s husband. The teen’s reasons? The man works in an immoral industry, is pompous, and loves to dig at everyone’s financial situations. But when the girl and her grandmother clashed during a family outing, things took a dramatic turn.
