10 Plot Twists That Prove Life Can Get More Shocking Than Movies

It is hard to reach out to a loved one when they have already decided to shut you off. In this mother’s case, time and attention were limited as it required a condition from her son — to only speak with him when his wife is around. But this setup escalated into something heartbreaking.
She wrote, “This issue started a while ago, my son married Becky. Becky and my daughter do not get along. Looking in on it, personalities don’t mix well. They frustrate each other a lot.
About a year ago, the family was having a BBQ and Becky was asked to bring paper plates so no one had to clean plates. She brought plastic plates, so my daughter would need to wash them in order to give them back to Becky by the end of the night. The BBQ was at her home.
I think it was a breaking point for her, because she grabbed me and went inside. She had a big rant where she was not pleasant about Becky. It was mostly about her not following instructions, and in her eyes, that she was incompetent. I told her to calm down and just enjoy the night. I would do the dishes.”
She continued, “A few days later, I got a call from my son saying he would only communicate with me if Becky were there. So group chats, if she is on the phone with him or in person. He heard that we were talking badly about his wife, and this is what he is doing now. Same thing with my daughter, he didn’t let me explain.
So from then on, we have been communicating that way. It has been frustrating at times, and I don’t feel like I can talk to him about anything personally.”
She added, “This brings me to the main issue: I have breast cancer. I informed the kids one by one about it. I am not comfortable explaining my diagnosis with his wife in the room. We are not close, and I am very emotional about it.
So I texted him that we needed to talk alone, and he told me that anything I say, I can say in front of his wife. I called him, but no answer, and saying it was very important didn’t do anything.
My option was to tell him with an audience, or not tell him and let him learn from someone else. I chose not to tell him, I had my first appointment, and my daughter made a post on Instagram wishing me luck and support.
He called me up, annoyed that he found out about this on social media, and called me inconsiderate for not telling him. My point was that I did try, and he wouldn’t listen to me.”
