Social Etiquette and Good Manners/Wedding Invitation ettique

Question
I am divorced and my ex wife has remarried. Our son is getting married and the invitation reads. Request your presence at the marriage of their son.
Should I go?
Or is this the correct etiquette?

Answer
Dear AI,
  It would correctly read "his son",but if your son feels closer
to his stepmother,then there is nothing wrong with wording it the
other way. It is his choice alone.
   You will regret it deeply if you do not go. No matter how hurt
you are by this invitation,it would be a mistake to allow it to
control your emotions.
