@redditstories_doggo: I was so sad when my son said that he didn't have plans to move back to our home country to be with us, even after he knew his grandfather would be passing soon, so I told him he should just abandon us completely then. Plus two updates. Posted by: u/LovingMom12 #reddit #redditstories #storytime #redditdoggo #minecraftparkour #redditreadings
"I feel abandoned" and yet you texr everyday and call often. Family closeness is not only quantified by proximity to each other. He's upholding family values, maintaining contact with his parents whilst also prioritising his wife and future family's current/future needs. Good on her for adjusting her mindset, though

OP failed to realize that she is suffocating. I’m halfway through the story so I commented this halfway through. I don’t care.

It’s not often you see the parents actually grow and realize that they’re in the wrong. Good for mom and I’m happy about the new cat!!

I was going absolutely insane for the first half as she just went in circles about "people not seeing her side" whilst actively refusing to see her son's and the SIGH OF RELIEF I felt at the conclusion.....growth is amazing and shout out to her therapist

South american here, might be a global thing too, but guilt and emotional manipulation are SO so strong here, it's really hard to break away from it and form your own boundaries.

Idc if it’s culture, making familial love conditional is objectively wrong lol

Knowing his reason but refusing to understand it is probably the reason why he doesn’t want to move closer

3/6 of my grandma's kids live in other countries (we're Peruvian, one of my aunts lives in Bolivia while my mom and another one of my aunts live in Canada), another lives in another city like 12hrs away driving (further up north, im pretty sure he was the 1st one to move away). does my grandma miss all of us? ya, she does; we're personally visiting in May and she's so excited that we're coming. however, above all, she wants us to have a better life. that's what a good mother is (I guess this is extra applicable because I'm also South American)

I genuinely got angry at this bro like "why did he move away" "i can't understand why he would go so far" because thats literally HIS life and that's what HE wants omg 😭

It’s nice to see that the mom genuinely got help. When you’re only surrounded by guilt tripping and family first for your whole life, of course that’s the default. Escaping that cycle is hard. Really great to see:)

Oh I’m so glad she went and figured herself out and realized her mistakes before she permanently blocked her son out with her guilt! I’m so happy she got a cat too! Ugh I love a happy turn out
