Finding yourself in a family with a step relative has become a reality for many — 1,300 new step and blended households are formed every day in the United States, showing it is one of the fastest-growing family types in the country. However, 75% say they are not getting the resources needed to properly understand their new domestic situation.
So when Redditor Throwaquickadvice faced a family dilemma with her fiancé and his son, she decided to seek advice from the “Am I The A-Hole” (AITA) community. The woman and her partner decided to tie the knot before the end of this year but the joys of planning one of the biggest days of their life got clouded by a troubling conflict that divided the family.
You see, her 17-year-old stepson wondered if he could do a slideshow honoring his late mom at the wedding. “He is the most sensitive and emotional kid I’ve ever met,” the user wrote. However, the woman firmly believes her big day has nothing to do with the teenager’s mom. Feeling unsure of how she handled the situation, she asked people on the internet to help her find a way out of this dispute. Read on for the whole story and let us know what you think of it in the comments.
