This Mom Told Her Son’s Girlfriend The Truth About Him After Their Prom Night And She Made Them Both Cry
A mom has an 18-year-old son who she considers to be completely and utterly out of control. He sneaks out of the house, lies about where he is or where he is going, and drinks behind her back.
He has also come home and puked all over her house after drinking without her knowing, and he also has been suspended from school for getting into fights.
She’s no longer with the dad of her son, who she feels encourages his behavior since he finds it funny.
Her son’s dad thinks that he’s just being a boy and it drives her crazy. She doesn’t allow her 2 daughters that she has with her husband to act out of control, and she does her best to make sure her son can’t act like this either, despite the influence of his dad.
Her son had his prom a weekend ago, and she was terrified that he would do something to mess it all up by misbehaving.
Before her son went to prom, she gave him a pat-down to make sure he didn’t sneak out with anything he shouldn’t have.
After he was cleared, he got in his car and left to go get his girlfriend and take her to prom.
“The only thing that comforted me about prom was that I did feel like his girlfriend was sweet and respectable,” she explained.
“I’ve known her since she was little and had high opinions of her. I had hoped this girl would keep him in line for prom but I wasn’t naive to his antics.”

“Prom came and went and I had my son FaceTime me at his dad’s house after to prove he wasn’t at an after-party and did a drive-by an hour later to make sure his car was still parked there.”
A couple of hours later when she went out for her run around the neighborhood at 5 in the morning, she decided to run past her son’s dad’s house to do another check.
She was shocked to see that her son’s girlfriend’s car was sitting in the driveway, and her son’s dad was gone for work that morning, so the teens were inside unsupervised.
She went right up to the front door and rang the doorbell over and over again until her son actually answered the front door.
She could see that she woke her son up with the doorbell ringing, and she told him she knew his girlfriend was over so she wanted to come inside.
Her son did his best to prevent her from coming into the house, but she threatened to call his girlfriend’s parents.
“He kept saying, “please don’t talk to her, mom” but I wasn’t going to let him mess this girl’s life up as he was trying to do with his, and his dad did mine,” she said.
“It was obvious that his girlfriend had spent the night based on her appearance. I let my disappointment in her be known and told her I thought she was a nice girl but she wasn’t compatible with my son.”
“He seems to be a bad influence to those he’s around and has some issues he needs to work on. I also told her if she wasn’t careful she’d end up pregnant and alone because he’s really no different than his father.”
She let her son know he was going to be grounded when he arrived back at her house, though he’s delayed coming home.
Later on, she got a really rude text from her son’s dad, accusing her of being a terrible person for what she said to her son’s girlfriend.
“He said that I made my son’s GF cry after I left and that I made him cry to his dad because I embarrassed him and he can’t figure out why his mom hates him,” she continued.
She insisted that she does not hate her son at all; she just feels that he’s out of control and needs some serious tough love.
Do you think she was wrong to tell her son’s girlfriend “the truth about him” after prom, or should she have not intervened?
