AITA for telling my son his parents' lovestory?
I (20M) met "my" (its complicated) son (21M) recently after his mother(42F) shot him. Since his father passed away several years ago, he'd been having trouble understanding his parents' reasons for "abandoning" him and his brothers (19M, 17M). In order to help him, I let him access a first-person VR record of his parents' memories, from his birth to his early years. Now I should say that giving me these memories means that his biological father didn't have them and therefore "didn't treat him like a son" (allegedly) because he "didnt remember his birth" (true).
Regardless I think I made a wise decision by showing my son his parents before their divorce (there was some sexual content in there) (I mean, they were married) (it was relevant to the information). After seeing these memories he was very happy to know his parents did in fact love him prior to giving up their memories.
However I am being told that this "made him insane" or "gave him severe trauma" or "ruined his grieving process" and I disagree because he is very happy now and we are all a big family and I will attend his wedding soon as it is being held at my (used to be his) house. AITA?
