The article discusses a mother's concerns after her son was attacked by her brother's dog. While the son's physical injuries were minimized due to his winter clothing, the emotional impact on their family dynamics was significant. The mother reported the incident, triggering a heated fallout with her brother, who responded insensitively. She and her son are avoiding family gatherings until the issues are resolved, prompting her to consider how to explain their absence from Easter festivities to her son without placing blame on him.

His callous, selfish response to my son's attack has shaken me.
I have decided we won't be going to any gatherings with my brother for the time being.
