When I was about 24, I split up with a girl who at the time I thought was the love of my life.
We were supposed to be going out with my family for a Father's Day meal, and I turned up alone, a wreck, barely holding it together. I explained to them what has happened. My Dad gave me an awkward man hug, my brother gave me a slightly less uncomfortable hug and told me he was sorry but things would be OK. My Mum said 'Well, that's great, we're going to look stupid with a spare seat at our table'.

There may be more stories about my Mother this week.

Of all the stories so far, your tale of turning up to a family gathering, without a +1, is undoubtedly the worse.
I don't know how your mother puts up with a tactless cunt like you.
