First,
Why wouldn't this story be true?
Especially these days when some ppl talking about kids and other ppl come before a spouse...
Step Dad has every right to feel hurt. He raised the step daughter since she was a child.
He provided a roof over her head, food and clothing, bought her toys and other miscellaneous stuff throughout her life..
EFF you mean he wasn't worthy of attending her graduation??
Now, let's assume that the step daughter didn't like him..
OK, what step child like their step parents, especially the ones who may have disciplined them and assume the role as head of household?
See, the problem is that you have biological parents who forgot the pecking order in the household.
The spouses are the first priority! Then come the children and after that extended family members and friends, in that order..
Best believe this same step daughter would expect her step Dad to pay for her wedding, but would want her biological Dad to walk her down the aisle.
Bottomline..
It's a respect thing!
If I am not gonna be a priority, then I will not be in your life! Got me effed up thinking I am just a human wallet and tertiary in the pecking order and I gotta just "deal with it"!
Bull-iish!!
Step Dad's wife was out of pocket allowing her husband who took care of her child to be treated like that!
Dude didn't have to marry the mother and certainly didn't have to care for a child that isn't his biologically..
But, he did what the biological Dad didn't do and didn't get the respect as the biological Dad.
Yep, I'll be petty and if it was me, I would also be divorced..
I would do exactly what step Dad did and took the step child off all of my insurances along with Will & Trust..
Sure the fugg would!
If I ain't iish, then my benefits and assets ain't iish either!
Breh need to have a nice talk with his wife and let her know how iish gonna go moving forward..
What happens after that talk gonna happen!
