He wrote, “Am I asking too much for her to treat him like part of the family?
I don’t want to be overreacting, but the way she flat-out ignores him is painful to witness. Am I wrong for expecting her to step up and include him?”
People of Reddit rushed to the comments section, because they had a lot to say.
Netizens were quite unanimous in reacting to the OP’s turbulent story.
One person wrote, “Breaks my heart. My stepmonster did this to me too.
It was the elementary school that called my dad at work (he worked in a steel mill-shift work) to report I was sick with a 102 fever and was terrified to go home.
Apparently they told him a lot of things. So my dad finally left her. This was in 1982.
I’m 51.”
Another user shared, “Yes, he needs to get out of that relationship ASAP! My heart absolutely breaks for his son. Never ever, would this be acceptable for me.
He needs to prioritize his son 100%. He has already lost his mother and who knows what he has endured at the hands of this woman!!
As many has pointed out, what is happening when the father is not around?
How does she treat him? This is absolutely awful.
If he doesn’t take his son and leaves, he is making the worst decision of his life.
This boy didn’t ask for this woman to come into his life, the father did, and the father is the only that can fix it. 8 years is a long time, now it is time to move on and make that boy the center of that father’s life!”
One more user added, “You need to remove yourself and your son from this toxic environment. I cannot imagine the hurt he has endured and the damage she’s already done to him.”
And here’s yet another mind-boggling family story shared by a woman, who was totally sure that her kid is her biological offspring.
But when her husband did a paternity test, the things in the family got tense, because an old secret was uncovered.
