Consenting adults are allowed to date other consenting adults. He might be older but the fact that hes stuck around dispite the way her family has been treating him for ZERO reason besides his age shows he must genuinely care for her. He did nothing wrong, she is an adult in college and can make her own decisions. They were nothing but nasty towards him dispite the fact he did nothing to warrant that, because again SHE'S AN ADULT. The dad is seriously going to disown her for that 🤦♀️
Ellie is a stupid and foolish girl. She hid her boyfriend friend from everyone. Either she is embarrassed or knows her parents won’t approve. If she’s so embarrassed, why is she dating him? If she’s knew her parents wouldn’t approve, then she either was trying to start an incident by springing him on them last second, or she was too stupid to realize that she needed to try to get her family used to the idea instead of trying to force them to accept it.
So by the end of it he's 100% certain it's his kid and he isn't involved. Seems cruel in a way. ( Especially since both the parents are aware it's not the fathers ) It would be one thing if he was a sperm donor.... But given the circumstances you would assume someone would tell you if you had a kid at that point. Maybe this isn't the US.. it would be unethical otherwiss. I really hope this happened in France that would actually make a lot more sense there's a lot more infidelity and that's a regular issue they struggle with. ( I'm not being rude its cultural something like 60% of women in an even higher percent of men admit to cheating in France so they aren't even allowed DNA tests because it would split up to many families) Still cruel for someone to know it is factually is there a child and give them no interaction.
I can understand both sides, but his wife should have been honest with him instead of trying to use her parents as a shield and turning them against him and making him feel betrayed.
Aunt reveals that op wasnt his dads, op is very depressed and realizes why his "dad" didnt treat him as well. Op calls dad his name (richard) while leaving and when he comes back they all argue and mom reveals she started dating his "dad" while she was pregnant and he knew it wasnt his child. Mom didnt know op was being mistreated by extended family op says hes leaving and not telling them where he is going. Richard cries and begs op to forgive him and op says he cant yet but he will wait and not move out yet
Good job man you made the right decision Just a bunch of hypocrites and doing the same thing to you with the toxic family members were doing them and it’s such BS when people say it’s one or the other and bisexuality does exist and your girlfriend sounds awesome.
So you didn't even try to tell him his kid was dead listen all the way up to that point I understood your side I get it but he was still there financially just not emotionally but you didn't tell him his kid was dead that means you're a piece of s*** like I said up until that point I was with you
OP, I'm so sorry for your losses!! OP's "partner" is pathetic! He can be mad, but he has nobody to blame but himself. If he thought that he was "over-whelmed", he should have stuck around and saw what overwhelming really is... working and gestating a human being inside of one's own body at the same time! And if this was how he would act just due to a pregnancy, imagine how he would have flaked if life wasn't perfect after the baby came! - Perhaps he should get a pet... but he'll need supervision with it!
This is why I'm fortunate my parents loved me and my six siblings equally. My youngest sibling is severely mentally challenged. And he is the happiest person I know. Us siblings and the rest of the family all treat him like a golden child. But we do put our foot down when he does something bad and explain to him why so he understands. I think i speak for all my siblings when i say we don't mind that he is kinda of treated like the favorite because he's our favorite too. No one can stay in a bad mood when he enters the room. He's just that cheerful😊
I think if one of your siblings has Down syndrome they should get attention from the parents because they have a disease, but they shouldn’t obviously favor somebody over the other
I always did wonder what happened after Jonas left and all those memories were released. Wow, that sentence must be weird to someone who's never read The Giver.
Family is important. It by no means is permanent. And if they drop you on the curb and try to come back later for your success. Drop them on the curb just the same. People can change but often don't until shown how their treatment to others really feels.
Im so glad your situation ended up working out for you but your dad is still a horrible person for just ditching his son in what he thought was a horrible abusive home. He gets nothing. Your half brother gets nothing. Grandpa left it to You and you alone. Share it with someone you love.
