I’ve heard a lot of adoptees on TikTok talking about how adoption is an inherently traumatic process, and I definitely think there’s something to that argument. Separation from your biological parents, whether it was ultimately for the best or not, can have devastating and lifelong effects. These vocal adoptees come up against a lot of …

Mom criticizes 16-year-old son for celebrating Christmas and accepting gifts from his paternal grandparents after they excluded his step-siblings and half-siblings: ‘I told her I wasn’t missing Christmas with my family’
I hate reading about situations where a child is stuck in the middle of adult problems. It is common to use children as bargaining chips in conflicts that have nothing to do with them, especially regarding visitation rights and blended families that they never asked to be born into. This makes it easy for children …

Stepdad helps his 9-year-old stepson buy birthday gifts for his mom after his deadbeat dad forgot, dad takes credit and mom calls stepdad a liar when he tells her the truth: ‘She said I was acting like a needy man baby’
Blended families can often facilitate a level of competition between the adults. The biological parent who the kids don’t live with wants to prove that their more important than the stepparent the kids do live with or vice versa. Sometimes, a stepparent is just objectively more of a parent to a child than their biological …

24-year-old stepfather asks 35-year-old stepkid to call him dad, stepkid refuses, leading to a family dispute when mom gets involved: ‘He was about to cry’
‘Delulu’ is a term youngsters are now using to describe people acting completely delusional, and even somewhat crazy, and I could not think of a better word to describe the guy in this story. As much as families are important, you cannot be forced to become family with anyone. Sure, you often don’t really get …

Mom forces 6-year-old daughter to change her last name to her stepfather’s after her father’s passing, refuses to pay to change it back when she turns 18 even though she

17-Year-Old Son Stands Up to Mom Who Tried to Steal His Inheritance from His Late Father for Stepsiblings’ College Tuition: ‘I asked if she really thinks he’d want the money to be used on random kids’
When this 17-year-old lost his dad, he was left an inheritance meant for his future—specifically to cover college tuition. But instead of going the college route, he decided to pursue a trade and save the money for big life milestones, like buying a house. Makes sense, right? Well, apparently not to everyone. Even though this …

‘I was sick of being blamed for his awful kids’: Mom kicks out 16-year-old daughter after her husband’s kids break the TV, blames daughter for stepkids getting taken away by CPS
One of the most defining emotions of being a teenager is feeling blamed. Teenagers are the ultimate scapegoats by their parents and teachers because so much is expected of them, and they rarely have the tools to live up to said expectations. They’re expected to bear adult responsibilities without the freedoms of adulthood. Combine that …

‘She’s going to end up obese’: Stepdad pressures wife to control his 5’4 150 lb 15-year-old stepdaughter’s weight, mom claims it’s unnecessary because she exercises 100 hours a week
Weight is an extremely sensitive issue with teenagers. They already have so much pressure and responsibility at such a young age, and they shouldn’t have to worry about counting calories or being the perfect weight. The population as a whole feels very conflicted about how we should «deal with» overweight children. Sending your kid to …

Some people are thrust into chaotic situations by the hand of God. They’ve done nothing to bring anything crazy upon themselves, but the craziness just comes out of nowhere and attacks. While that may be the case for some, we all know somebody who brings chaos upon themselves. There are definitely people in my life …
