‘My dad would be disgusted with what she did’: 17-year-old son refuses to defend his mother against paternal grandparents after she gives his late father's belongings away to her new stepchildren

Losing a parent is one of the most difficult experiences any child could go through. They lose a piece of their family they will never get back, and anyone who attempts to completely fill the late parent's shoes will have an impolite awakening. There is no replacing a parent; There is only forming a new, different relationship with the child. If someone decides to marry a widow or widower, they need to understand this. If not, they risk ruining a relationship with their new spouse's children, so much so that the damage might be irreparable.

In this next story's case, we have a widow who soon remarried after her husband passed. This woman is also the mother of two children, and the 17-year-old son who posted this story refuses to make excuses for her after what she did with his late father's belongings. She plans on giving her new husband's children half of her late husband's belongings, despite the stepchildren having absolutely no connection to him. The woman's biological children are fed up, and their paternal grandparents give her a piece of their mind as a result. Scroll below to see how the situation unfolds.

The issues are: A) The teen's mother moved on exceptionally quickly after losing her husband, and 2) Their father's belongings belong to his biological children, not to their mother's stepchildren. They don't need sentimental gifts because, well, the kids' late father is not the stepchildren's late father. He exists in photographs (if stepmom even shares them), and that's it. The teen is right to be upset, and the late dad's parents are even more right to call out the kids' mother.
