The family dynamic could not be tenser even after all this time, though, since Anne reportedly despises his mom more than ever. So, as soon as Anne found out that he was doing a mother-son dance with his mom during the ceremony, she was pissed.
In fact, Anne actually felt entitled to do her own dance with him and even made a remark about how if he was doing a dance with “that woman”– his mom– then she also deserved to do the same.
That comment immediately ticked him off, though, and he underscored how “that woman” is the mother who raised him. Plus, he said he actually wanted to dance with his own mom and told Anne he did not feel the same about her.
Anne simply did not get it, though, and asked him how he could say such a thing after knowing that she had lost her only biological child. On top of that, Anne claimed that he never gave her a chance to continue being a parent after the loss.
He was honest, though, and just told Anne that none of that was his fault or job.
“I told her that if she wanted us to be closer, she should have made sure dad introduced us all before they were ready to get engaged,” he vented.
Regardless, Anne does not understand his perspective and has since claimed that he is breaking her heart by saying no to the dance. He has even been accused of being “thoughtless” for treating Anne that way following the loss of her son.
So now, he has been left wondering whether refusing to do a mother-son dance with his stepmom is justified because of their history or if it just makes him a serious jerk.
Why do you think his father opted not to involve him or his siblings in the decision to marry Anne or have another child? Would you also feel distant and possibly resentful of a stepmother whom you barely know? Does it sound like Anne is trying to have him replace her late son? Is he obligated to do a mother-son dance with Anne because of her loss or not?
