AITA for refusing to cut my hair for my father's wedding?

Elise Dubois

Grieving the loss of her mother, a fifteen-year-old girl struggles to accept her father’s new fiancée, Alice, who she feels stepped into her mother’s place too quickly. The raw ache of loss intertwines with the fragile threads of a family trying to redefine itself, leaving the girl caught between politeness and silent resistance.

When Alice demands control over the girl’s appearance for the upcoming wedding, it ignites a quiet rebellion rooted in love and memory. The girl’s refusal to cut her hair becomes a poignant stand—a symbol of holding on to her mother’s legacy amidst the pressure to conform to a new family’s expectations.
