@dustythunder_: Replying to @Dusty Thunder the THIRD UPDATE TO THE BAR MITZVAH STORY 🔥🔥🔥 ““AITA for cancelling my sons Bar Mitzvah an hour before it started after my ex brought his Girl after he promised not invite her?” #storytime #redditstories #reddit_tiktok #redditstorytime #part3
You can call me an ahole if you want, but after my ex and I split and she moved away granting me sole custody, my daughter (almost 3 year old daughter then) was my priority. I didn't date for a long time, because I didn't not want to put my daughter through anything like this situation. When I finally came across a woman who I thought would be a good fit for us. However, before starting to date here (here is where some will call me an ahole) I told her that my daughter would absolutely be my priority, that she will come first. Not to say we won't have special time where my focus is on the one I'm dating, but if anything came up, my priority is the safety and wellbeing of my daughter. My daughter was 13 or 14 then. The woman was okay with that or so she said. The two got along great. Hell much of the time they teamed up against me. 😂 Unfortunately that relationship only lasted a bit over a year. In hindsight though and speaking with my daughter later, I could see now the jealousy my ex had, but good thing is she took it out on my and not my daughter. My daughter is almost 30 now, married, with a son and another on the way and with a great career. While I'm not a perfect dad, it seems I protected her enough for her to find her path.

as someone who also had a parents actively choose their partners over me and my siblings...good on you OP. keep supporting your son and telling him you love him and have his back.

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah takes SO MUCH preparation on the kid's end that the choice to walk away isn't small. The fact he (&Mom) are standing their ground shows he is 100% read for adulthood.

He chose the abuser over the abused, some people don't deserve to be a father. Its not ment for everyone. I will always choose the well being and mental health of my kids over anyone.

at ANY congregation, the act of Aliyah, or being called to the Torah qualifies as a Bar Mitzvah. Depending on the congregation, adding in grandparents or friends to make up the roster of Aliyot can easily be done. the prayers for a Haftorah are the same so maybe read it in English after the 1st few lines in Hebrew.
Mom can pay for a beautiful luncheon, catered at the temple after the service!

At least the kid knows his mom has his back. Both of my parents did this to me. 😬😬

My dad allowed his 2nd wife to treat me similarly, only her favorite attack was to call ma a wh***. When I told him how she spoke to me he said “well she is a Christian and that is a biblical word so she has every right to use it as she see fit.” He doesn’t understand why he has no relationship with his adult children. He thinks our mom turned us against him.
