Family is supposed to be there for each other through thick and thin, but as we all know, sometimes when you least expect it, people can turn their back on you. It doesn’t even have to be an intentional betrayal—sometimes just an unintentional mistake can lead to consequences that are far from beneficial. A recent story posted on the ‘Am I The A-Hole’ subreddit illustrates just how quickly a family dispute can escalate. One redditor going by the username Effective-Weekend-97 shared how her daughter’s friend took a rather distasteful dig at her during dinner. Not only was the comment uncalled for, but the author also sees it as an act of betrayal. Have a read through the full story below.. Would you have reacted any differently?
