His Mom Skipped His Wedding After His Stepmom Accidentally Threw Flour In Her Hair, So Now He Won’t Attend His Mom’s Nuptials
This man and his mother have, unfortunately, never been very close. While he was growing up, he practically worshipped the ground his dad walked on; meanwhile, his mom was “just kind of there.”
Then, his parents went through a very messy divorce involving cheating, cut-up clothing, and no-contact orders.
He tried to stay neutral and out of all the drama, especially because he thought his dad’s new wife – his stepmom – was a “lovely” woman.
“And she makes my dad so happy, and she is always respectful to my mom,” he added.
Two years ago, he also got engaged, and when it came to planning his nuptials, he still tried not to pick any sides. His fiancée, on the other hand, had already formed a really strong bond with his stepmom.
So, his stepmom was more involved in the wedding planning, and he’s not sure whether this upset his mom or not.
However, something that happened between his mom and stepmom the day before his nuptials actually pushed his mom not to attend his wedding at all. And he still cannot get over it.
It all began when he and his family were just hanging out at a lake house – where he and his fiancée were set to tie the knot the next day.
In the morning, his dad and stepmom arrived. Later, his mom was supposed to come for lunch before they all went to the rehearsal dinner.

Well, in the afternoon, everyone began drinking and having a little too much fun when things went sideways.
“I swear to God this was an accident, but my stepmom accidentally threw a handful of flour at my mom when she came in,” he revealed.
“She had been going for my dad, and I saw how horrified she looked. She apologized immediately, though, of course, my dad thought it was funny.”
As for his mom, she didn’t find it funny at all and left to take a shower. Afterward, she headed out and claimed she was going to Starbucks. Yet, she never came back at all.
He proceeded to send his mom a bunch of text messages, asking where she was, but she never answered.
“I figured she would show back up the next morning. But nope, she missed her own son’s wedding because she got some flour in her hair,” he explained.
That was years ago now, and his mom is now the one who recently got engaged. According to him, everything changed when she met her soon-to-be husband, too.
He felt like his mom expected everyone to pretend as though she wasn’t a “raging” jerk from the time she divorced his dad up until she met her new fiancé.
So, he ultimately told his mom that he wouldn’t be attending her wedding since she didn’t bother going to his.
She accused him of not understanding how tough the whole situation was on her. She also claimed she felt humiliated and admitted she wasn’t in a good place mentally.
Moreover, after the flour incident, his mom said that she was so angry she probably would have just “ruined” his wedding weekend. So, she believes he should be thanking her for skipping his nuptials.
“I said she needs to grow the [heck] up,” he vented.
Nonetheless, he still can’t help but wonder if refusing to attend his mom’s wedding – and believing the reason why she skipped his was ridiculous – is justified or not.
Do you think his mom had a right to be angry at his stepmom? Or should she have put her feelings aside to attend his wedding?
