The original poster (OP) faced an intense medical crisis involving their critically ill son, leading to actions where they prioritized their role as mother, particularly by handling emergency medical consents.
This created a severe conflict with the son's girlfriend, who felt sidelined during a highly emotional event, leading to the OP being removed from the hospital and causing a fracture in the relationship with the son.
The core issue is whether the OP's assertion of maternal authority during an emergency justifies overriding the immediate emotional needs and evolving partnership role of the son's long-term girlfriend, especially when the son is incapacitated.
Was the OP justified in prioritizing their legal and emotional status as mother over maintaining peace with the girlfriend in that moment, or did this reaction irreparably damage necessary family alliances?
