AITA for walking out of my mom's house on Mother's Day even after she lost my sister not too long ago because she was disrespectful to my wife?

Nope. I lost my baby. I didn't become vile and say evil things to others. This was full of spite and would not be allowed. Nope. Apologize or you've lost another kid.
WHO IS ALLOWING IT.
Where in there did I say her behavior was "allowed?"
"Nope?" And that's in response to THIS in particular, right?
"I feel bad for all parties though. This is a time where someone was so clearly TA, but it's also hard for me to judge. Losing a child in the prime of their life? I'm sure the Mother is in constant pain. Still not an excuse, but one can have empathy for her and also acknowledge she was very clearly in the wrong.
That's the "nope?" So is that the "nope" I cannot have empathy for the Mother losing her child? Is this a competition, Who had it the worst, who dealt with their unbearable grief the best/worst? We were expecting and had a late-term miscarriage. NOW do I get to have the opinion that I have empathy for the Mother while ALSO saying she was clearly in the wrong, the son was in the right or..."nope?"
Yup. I do have empathy for the Mother...sorry.
No, the nope was for the way she treated his wife. Sorry that wasn't apparent. Empathy is a good thing to have. I lost a son, too. Why are you so angry? She's allowed* to be upset, but she is not allowed* to be vile and speak evil words.
It was apparent.
Some people like to pick fights and fight imaginary battles with strangers as an outlet bc it's easier than dealing with whatever they can't or won't handle irl.
