The Villanelle form seems to me to be a very difficult format and not one I think I would attempt to utilise, so I applaud you for doing such a good job, thank you.

This is an excellent poem. In form obviously, but the content is particularly fine. The author has obviously worked hard to make sure that the reeated lines are powerful ones (e.g. She said, "I think the answer you shall dread.").
I am curious to know whether the:
broken heart sown
was deliberate, or a typo of sewn?

    Deliberately written he was the one seeded his oats in the wrong field. 😂

Yes, we are either guided by our parents in life, and their wisdom, or their lack of it, may shore us up or tear us down, fortunately for me someone came along to turn me right side up. Well a beautifully engineered villanelle, with some interesting and inventive rhyme, well done, blessings Roy
