Mom breaks son's heart, says he's killing her by marrying boyfriend

https://www.queerty.com/mom-breaks-sons-heart-says-hes-killing-marrying-boyfriend-20201210

Telling your parents you’re engaged to marry should be a joyous moment. Not so for one man who accepted a proposal of marriage from his boyfriend, and was then faced with having to tell his homophobic mother.

Despite already knowing her views, social media influencer Henry Jimenez still wants his Mexican mother to accept his wedding plans and consider attending the ceremony. He filmed himself calling his mom…. and her disappointed reaction to the news.

Jimenez re-shared the video to TikTok and then Instagram earlier this week. The conversation is in Spanish but he provided English subtitles.

"I love my mother... but I don't like her. And, I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual." Learning your parents are not the universal, all-knowing, all loving deities you thought they were when you were a little kid is a tough lesson to internalize. Learning they are worse is more than devastating. My heart goes out to that boy, and I hope he finds love and happiness with his new mate. Just as I did.

and live their lives as they should. The blood family is left behind. The new family is far more supportive and will be there as all families are for each other. My best to the happy couple.

such a wound on their child. Nothing a child of mine might do, say or be would lessen my love for them.

Best wishes for a long and happy marriage to the couple.
