A teenager was defended online after avoiding his father’s second wife during a family gathering. In a post shared to the Am I the A**hole forum on Reddit , a 19-year-old explained how his father had destroyed his family when he had an affair with his coworker, who is now his second wife. When the affair first came to light, the father lied to them and said it was a one-night stand, but shortly after revealed that the other woman was pregnant .
Although the other woman ended up losing the baby and the father tried to repair things with his estranged wife and son, the wife ultimately divorced him and the son wrote he cut him out of his life. “He told me mom was the one breaking up our family and not him,” the son explained. “Then when he gave up and accepted mom wouldn’t take him back, which is when the other woman lost the baby, he tried to get me on board with things.
I ignored all calls and texts from him. I couldn’t block him while still a minor. But I didn’t reply and I didn’t see my dad face to face during this.
I knew I wanted him out of my life for good.” “He tried to make me see him but he failed. And once I turned 18 it was over for him,” he continued.
“He ended up marrying the other woman and now they’re expecting a kid together. I don’t want anything to do with any of that, including the baby, and yes even if I don’t have to see them I have zero interest in knowing that child and any future children.” However, the son still hangs out.
