I (34M) have 3 kids with my wife (30F). I love them all to death.
My parents are “uncomfortable” with my family, and even though they met my wife and kids, they never approved of my family.
My father died two weeks ago. Before that, my mother called me and asked me to come over, because my dad wanted to see me for the last time.
I said I’d come the next morning, but then my mom said that I should come alone and not bring “those people” with me, as per my father’s last wish.
I completely lost it, called them both out and told my mom I won’t be coming over.
Two days ago at the funeral, my mother called me un ungrateful son, a disgrace to the family, and my siblings told me to just leave and let it go.
Later I got texts from a bunch of family members, calling me an AH for letting my father die alone and breaking my mom’s heart.

- He made his bed, he can die alone in it.
- Even to his last breath, he refused to let go of his stubbornness and ego.
