A woman sought Reddit’s opinion on whether she was wrong for kicking her son and daughter-in-law out during Christmas. Her son, Patrick, and his wife had a strained relationship with the family due to their asocial behavior and mean-spirited actions.
The daughter-in-law had asked the woman not to get Patrick a Christmas gift, claiming he didn’t want one. On Christmas day, when questioned about Patrick’s gift, the daughter-in-law denied making the request, leading to a confrontation. She then made an insensitive remark, accusing the family of being off their meds. Humiliated and angry, the woman asked Patrick and his wife to leave, feeling disrespected in her own home. Seeking validation, she turned to Reddit, where users overwhelmingly supported her, expressing that the daughter-in-law’s behavior was inappropriate and manipulative.
