She Told Her Husband That There’s No Way She’s Going To Play Stepmom To His 15-Year-Old Son
A woman tied the knot with her husband half a year ago, and her husband entered their marriage with a 15-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Her husband is just 32-years-old, and he had his son Jason when he was 17. Her husband and Jason had been alone for Jason’s whole life, up until she met her husband 2 years prior.
“His kid never liked me, which I get,” she explained. “I made the duo a trio, and he misses just his dad.”
“That said, my husband really wants to do the whole family thing that his kid didn’t get growing up.”
“He has a lot of guilt about his mom, who hasn’t been in the picture since, like, his birth, and wants him to have a stable relationship to look up to like his parents.”
She and Jason have not gotten along in the 2 years that she has been with her husband. Although she and Jason don’t go out of their ways to be mean to one another, things between them are really weird and offputting.
Their relationship was been so strange and nonexistent that she thought it might be a good idea to have a private chat with Jason.
So, she sat down with Jason and wanted him to tell her what he expected from her, which he happily did.
He informed her that she was not his mom and not his parent either, so he didn’t want her to do anything to make it seem like she was.

She told Jason that was completely fine and she could abide by his wishes, which shocked him.
Then, she questioned Jason if it was alright for her to just try to be a friend to him.
“At the time, he said he wasn’t sure, and I told him that was fine and to just tell me when he’s ready what he wants from our relationship, but until then I won’t try and parent him,” she said.
“That little talk did wonders. He avoids me less, talks to me more (he actually initiated a conversation with me the other day, and I almost cried, lol), and even will watch movies with me (ie I’m watching a movie already, and he will sit with me and I’ll restart it, not much talk but presence)!”
“My husband noticed and was initially happy until he asked Jason what changed, and he didn’t like the answer.”
Her husband is upset that she spoke to Jason without him and that they together decided on the relationship they wanted to have.
Her husband thinks that if she’s Jason’s friend, it’s not appropriate at all. Her husband does expect her to be more of Jason’s stepmom, and he pointed out that she “signed up” to be that.
Her husband then accused her of “sabotaging being a mom.” She retorted that she ever will be Jason’s mom since Jason does not even want her to be that.
“That made him cry, and he said it felt like I already gave up before I tried,” she continued.
None of this was said in front of Jason, and Jason is not aware that they had talked about this yet.
“That kid is his life, and I know he just wants the best, but I think this is the best,” she added. “But I may have overstepped here by going over his head and straight to Jason.”
Do you think she did do the best thing by speaking to Jason alone about how she can best fit into his life?
