We all know that losing a child is one of the most devastating things that can happen to a person. It’s hard to imagine the pain that parents go through when they lose a child, especially if it was a premature or unexpected death. But despite knowing that, it doesn’t make it any easier. People who lose a child often feel guilty, sad, and lonely. And when a person is already so fragile, they need support from the ones they love. Sadly, this woman’s mother-in-law used her son’s death to cause more pain. This woman turned to the Reddit community ‘Am I the A****e?‘ for advice on whether or not she should forgive her mother-in-law who called her a bad mother at her 1-year-old son’s funeral.
