Her 51-Year-Old Dad Is Having A Baby With Her Stepmom, And She Does Not Want To Be A Part Of This Baby’s Life
This 21-year-old girl’s parents got divorced when she and her 18-year-old sister were pretty young.
Around the time she turned 8, her dad began dating her stepmom, and this all happened 4 months post her mom and dad’s divorce.
4 years ago, her dad and her stepmom got married, and her dad is currently 51, while her stepmom is 36.
Now, after her parents got divorced, her mom raised her and her little sister all alone, and her dad was never really a part of their lives in an emotional or physical sense.
“He didn’t help pay for my college, my sister’s college or any expenses growing up (dental/orthodontic care, sports, surgeries, car, etc.),” she explained.
“To be clear, I do not feel entitled to these things, but he wasn’t contributing at all financially. Even for groceries, etc.”
“Seeing my mom struggle caused a lot of mental issues when I was growing up. My dad was in and out of jobs, buying frivolous things for himself, and only showed up when he wanted to.”
Although she didn’t have the best relationship with her dad growing up, she does still speak to him and wants him in her life now.
As for her stepmom, she has never been interested in getting close to her, as this woman has always treated her terribly.

Additionally, her stepmom is self-centered, has zero boundaries, and thinks she never does a thing wrong.
To be honest, her stepmom is the reason her dad abandoned her and her sister, and that also contributes to her not wanting to deal with her.
Last summer, her dad informed her that he and her stepmom were going to be having a baby, and their baby is due pretty soon.
She is not excited about having a half-sibling, though, and she wants nothing to do with this baby at all.
“I feel that my dad is sending the message that my sister and I were not worth sticking around for and that he’d just start a new family anyways, knowing that he’d be around even less for us,” she said.
“He knew she wanted kids and lied and said they’d never consider it. I feel so bad because I know the baby didn’t have a choice in being conceived, but I’m not comfortable being a part of their life. I don’t really want to associate with my dad or stepmom either, but my dad and I do talk occasionally.”
She’s left wondering if it would be wrong of her to stay out of her half-sibling’s life. What do you think?
