[Full Story] I Didn't Invite My Son to My Wedding Because He Sided With My Abusive Father... 

Sadly , Jake learned this behaviour from his grandfather. OP should have cut contact with her dad years ago

OP is not a bad mother. She’s just part of a rotten tree (one that can’t even see it’s rotten). OP got her fresh start and deserves happiness. Anyone who says otherwise (or condoned/ignored the abuse OP endured) don’t deserve to be apart of that happiness. Sadly it took her son too long to see the abuse OP ran away from

Richard is a misogynist. Though there’s no excuse for abuse.

You did nothing wrong. Your son came there just to cause trouble.

File a defamation lawsuit against Richard.

I’m not a second chance kind of person. I don’t work on or rebuild relationships with those that don’t respect my boundaries…. OP should have cut contact with her father and stayed away long before her son was born.

I wish you all the best in your journey. I genuinely believe you will be ok if you stay away from those who don't mean you any good. Take care of yourself and your husband, and keep up with therapy and counseling as you have been through a lot and the scars are real. Never forget to laugh, take a moment to appreciate life, and most importantly, enjoy the moment for the moment.

Her son’s mind was warped by being around Richard. She’s right to have no contact. I’m glad that her son helped her to defend herself at least. He’s got much growing up to do! I’m glad that he’s getting away from grandpa.

why would you let your father be around your son? come on now.

Op is just as wrong as jake and Richard, it also sounds like Michael is trying to keep op away from her son and keep her to himself
