A mom interferes with her daughter's love life.

A chapter in the book Sories Poetically Speaking

Betrayed by Mom

by BethShelby

How could betrayal come from Mom?  She’s who I trusted most, and then she let me think ’twas him who’d turned my life to toast.   We had a date planned in advance. I was so sure he’d come, but this time he would stand me up thanks to my dear sweet mom.    She’d slipped and read my private mail, deciding it was best if she told him to stay away and give our love a rest.   I didn’t know she was involved, and threw myself a fit. How dare my guy should stand me up! He won’t get by with it.   Mom realized she’d gone too far. Apology was late. She saw she’d overstepped her bounds to interfere with fate.   Soon things were back on track again complete with wedding plan. It’s not a mother’s place to step  ‘tween daughter and her man.
