My son recently got married to a woman I don\u2019t know very well. They live in another state, so I only met her a couple of days before the wedding. She seemed nice, but it was rather shocking for me to have my DIL mock me for being a vegan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was some tension between us right off the bat, but I attended the wedding for my son. He\u2019s my pride and joy and I wanted to see him happy. When I got to the reception, I saw that there was no assigned seating, so I sat at a table that had a sign for a \u2019vegan option.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meal arrived, and I was horrified when I saw the veggies. They looked rotten. So I asked the waitress for a salad, and she said that I would need to pay extra as there was only one vegetarian meal reserved. The salad would come from their usual menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stood up to leave, feeling that I wasn\u2019t a welcomed guest at my own son\u2019s wedding. But my son came over and said, \u201cYou will regret this, mom. If you leave now, just forget us.\u201d I was shocked that he would say something like that to me. I thought I raised him better.

I replied honestly, saying, \u201cI came for you, but I won\u2019t sit at a table where I\u2019m mocked and then told to pay extra for a meal because the food I was served was expired.\u201d With that, I turned around and left. I haven\u2019t heard from my son since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But a few days later, my DIL called me. She said I was being selfish for hurting my son and ruining the reception. She claimed that most of my family left after I did because they agreed with me. I kept quiet and let her rant. But the worst part was that she even waited for an apology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I told her that she was the one who has been disrespecting me since the day we met. I don\u2019t want to lose my son, but I\u2019m not going to lose my pride either. If my son wanted to make things right, he could contact me himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s been two weeks and I still haven\u2019t heard anything. So Bright Side, was it wrong of me to walk out of my son\u2019s wedding reception and possibly ruin our relationship over a meal?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
