Son Who Hadn’t Seen His Mother in Years Returns to Find Her Home in Ruins

Adam had not visited his mother for years, becoming distant after he started his own life. One day, he needed to pick up some documents from her house, only to find it in ruins and abandoned.

Diana Evans raised Adam alone, working tirelessly to provide for him and pay for his education. After he graduated from high school, he chose to attend a university far away in New York. Though it made her sad, Diana supported Adam’s decision to study and live in New York while she remained in California. In the beginning, they stayed in touch, and he called her whenever he had the chance.

Unfortunately, Diana never managed to visit Adam during his college years. Their communication mainly happened through phone calls, which gradually decreased over time, but she valued their conversations.

As graduation approached, Adam called his mother to invite her. Diana felt immense pride and excitement. She wanted nothing more than to see her son walk across the stage to receive his diploma.

After the call, Diana searched for flights to New York. To her surprise, the tickets were quite expensive, and she realized she didn’t have enough money for a round-trip ticket and a special gift for Adam’s graduation. Determined to make it work, she took on extra babysitting jobs to save up. After working long hours, she finally had enough money to buy her ticket and a gift.

While shopping, she decided on a nice watch, thinking every professional should have one. After making her purchase, she excitedly asked the sales clerk to wrap it beautifully, explaining that it was a gift for her son who was graduating from a top university.

A few days later, Diana flew to New York. Adam picked her up from the airport, and together they went to his campus for the graduation ceremony. Diana couldn’t contain her excitement as she snapped pictures. When Adam received his diploma, she cheered loudly, bursting with pride.

After the ceremony, they embraced warmly, sharing heartfelt congratulations. They went out to a nice restaurant for dinner, and even though Diana worried about the bill, Adam insisted on treating her, expressing his gratitude for all she had done for him.

Overcome with emotion, Diana felt grateful for the kind man Adam had become. She handed him the gift she had brought, and he was delighted to find the watch inside. He promised to wear it every day as a reminder of her support. That night, they enjoyed their time together, taking photos and exploring the sights of New York.

A few days later, Diana had to return to California. She felt lonely thinking about being back home without him. Adam assured her that he would try to visit, promising to keep in touch. Sadly, those calls became less frequent until they eventually stopped altogether. Diana began to feel lonely and depressed, struggling with her health and appetite. Despite her attempts to reach out, Adam was busy with work and his relationship, making only occasional calls to check in.

Eventually, Adam decided to establish his own firm in New York and needed some documents from California. Instead of asking his mother to send them, he flew back home unexpectedly. However, upon arriving, he was shocked by the state of the house.

The once vibrant home was now in disrepair, with cobwebs and broken fences. Inside, it was empty except for some ruined furniture. Adam tried calling his mother but received no answer, so he went to a neighbor for information.

The neighbor revealed that a recent storm had caused significant damage to their home. Diana hadn’t had the funds to repair it and had moved into a nursing home to avoid burdening Adam. Shocked and filled with guilt, Adam rushed to the nursing home. When he saw his mother, frail and in a wheelchair, he felt overwhelmed with regret for not being there for her when she needed him most.

Diana, relieved and touched to see her son, encouraged him to rise from the ground, but he remained there, expressing his sorrow for neglecting her. Adam promised never to let her be alone again, vowing to take care of her. This time, he kept his promise. He repaired their home and brought her back from the nursing home.

He chose to start his business in California instead of New York and invited his girlfriend to live with them. Together, they created a loving home where Diana felt cherished and happy once more. She helped around the house, cooking meals and keeping everything in order while Adam and his girlfriend worked.

The family found joy in their time together, reminding us that no matter how busy life gets, we should always prioritize our loved ones. A mother’s love is unwavering, and Diana’s hope for a reunion with Adam never faded, proving that love endures even in times of separation.

Dad & fiancée exclude his daughter from their wedding after she bought a dress & shoes for it

Reddit is the place where people share stories of their life and ask fellow redditors for advice and opinion on the decision they make.

A teenage girl recently shared that her dad and his wife-to-be excluded her from their wedding and she explained the reasons behind that heartbreaking decision.

“I (f18) was always pretty close to my dad. Closer to my mom but I often visited my dad (about 3-4 times a week). A few years ago he started dating “Anna”. Anna and I always got along when my dad proposed I was happy Anna seemed like she would be a great stepmom,” she started her post.

OP said that she was overly excited and was looking forward to the wedding. She bought a dress and shoes, but then her dad told her that he and his fiancée needed to talk to her about something important.

“Well a few weeks before the wedding after I had bought everything (dress, shoes, etc) my dad and Anna said they needed to “talk to me” Anna and my dad decided to have a child free wedding which I get especially for young kids.

“Well turns out child-free means no one under 18. On the day of the wedding, I was still going to be 17 so, therefore, I’m not allowed to be at the wedding because Anna wants to stay true to the child-free rule even for the daughter of the groom and her about-to-be stepdaughter.”

Devastated, OP told her mom what her dad and Anna said to her. The mom was as heartbroken as her daughter and decided to take her on vacation so that she cheer up. At the same time, the mom told the rest of the family what her ex-husband did to their daughter. Understandably, most of them were shocked and angry.

Later, OP posted birthday pictures on Facebook and wrote, “I’m so glad my dad and Anna didn’t allow me at their wedding since I was under 18; I feel more mature since yesterday.”

“The family was freaking out asking if that was true and bashing my dad and Anna. I later got a bunch of texts from my dad and Anna calling me immature and a selfish brat and that’s why I was too immature to be at a wedding. I was talking to some friends and they said I was kinda an AH for doing that and I should have just let it go.”

Fellow redditors shared their opinions and agreed that OP wasn’t an AH for telling the family what her dad did to her.

“NTA. What kind of man doesn’t have his own child at his wedding? Anyway, they made the choice, if they believe it was the right choice they should have no issue about it being publicly known. Plus, people might well assume you weren’t there because you disapproved of his new wife or chose a vacation instead. Ensuring people know WHY you weren’t there saves your own reputation,” one person commented.

“The no children was made for you. I’m sorry but let that sink in. She made that rule to keep you out. You now know where you stand in their marriage…you don’t. I’m so sorry. NTA. I personally think it was EPIC. Harsh but epic. They deserved more than that. I would even update it with pictures of their texts,” another added.

A third wrote, “I can’t help but wonder if she purposefully pick a date before OP birthday just so she couldn’t go. If the dad & step-mom wanted to make it child free but make sure OP was there they could have made sure the date was AFTER OP birthday but to make it just 2 days before….. nah they didn’t want her there & was just trying to use that as an excuse.”

We believe the dad was not right for excluding his own daughter from the wedding.
