Grief is something that everybody copes with differently. It is difficult for somebody to go through the experience of losing a loved one and not feel like they have been changed by it, especially when the loss happens while they are young. This is the kind of thing that is hard enough to process as …

Mom forces 18-year-old daughter to shoplift from Target for her, gets angry when she refuses to visit home after she got arrested: ‘I almost lost everything because I trusted my mom’
She deserves a fresh start away from her crazy parents. You cannot control your lot in life. You really cannot control who is raising you for the first 18 years of your life, and that can be a real bummer if your parents are not upstanding members of society. It’s so difficult to be the …

Mom wishes she had never married before her 2nd husband in front of her 16 and 20-year-old kids that she mothered with her 1st husband: ‘She wished you and your brother never existed’
They didn’t even divorce; she just has that much disdain for her children and their late father. One of the best parts of not having children with your ex is that you can badmouth your ex all you want. If you have a child with your ex, you have to be very careful about how …

Dad refuses to take 14-year-old stepdaughter along to Billie Eilish concert for his 16-year-old daughter’s birthday, claims her own dad can take her: ‘She’s always hated me’
As someone who had a hard time sharing anything with her two sisters, I can’t imagine how challenging it is to have to share stuff with stepsiblings. Learning how to share your parents is hard enough, who wants to be forced to share birthday presents as well? The stepsisters in the story below are currently …

20-year-old refuses to be legal guardian of her 4, 5, and 7-year-old half siblings in the event of her mom and stepdad’s passing: ‘I would be a bad fit for the role’
She is way too young and inexperienced to take that on, and nobody older and more experienced than her will step up. When I was a kid, I didn’t know a darn thing about the Catholic faith, and I thought that someone being a «Godparent» meant that they would take care of their godchild in …

‘If I do nothing, then I’ll do just that’: Stepdad accuses 17-year-old of doing nothing around the house, gets angry when she stops doing chores afterwards
The worst person to annoy in a household is the one who spends the most time keeping it clean. When such an individual is provoked to the extent that they stop doing their chores, it will not be long before everybody who lives in that house is going to know about. It is one of …

13 and 14-year-old siblings refuse to accept mom’s 34-year-old fiancé, he considers ending the relationship: ‘They are very firm in not wanting me to be their dad’
Dating people with kids is often more of a challenge than dating those without, because yours are not the only opinions that matter. The fact is that for a blended family to work, everybody has to be accepting of the new dynamic. Most children are not going to immediately warm to a parent dating somebody …

Stepdad refuses to acknowledge his 6-year-old stepdaughter after divorcing her mom, only spends time with his 18-month-old biological daughter: ‘I feel she’s no longer my responsibility’
I hate to see adults downplay the importance of their relationship with the children in their lives. I’m not talking about a random family member that a kid sees once or twice a year: I’m talking about grown-ups who actively take a parental role in their kids’ lives, and don’t fully accept the responsibility of …

Stepdad pushes 17-year-old stepson to accept him as his dad because he has been his father figure for 9 years and his late father was for merely 7 years: ‘He said he deserves to be recognized instead of the ghost.’
When you’re a kid, you’re at the mercy of the adults around you. While some kids have two healthy, rational parents at the helm of their families, others have to operate under a series of absurd rules that do nothing to prepare them for the future. A parent could hypothetically feed their kids nothing but …

Dad divorces wife after she refuses to punish her 16-year-old daughter for stealing from his 13 and 15-year-old kids: ‘My kids were so relieved when we moved out, so I knew I made the right choice’
Blended families can exacerbate issues that were already present before the families got blended. If a kid mistreats his parents and they don’t do anything about it, chances are he’s probably going to treat his stepparents and stepsiblings with as much cruelty as he treats his parents, if not more. It’s difficult enough for kids …
