He Made His Teen Stepdaughter Cry When He Told Her To Ask Her Real Dad For Money
Nine years ago, this 40-year-old man started dating his wife, and she had a 6-year-old daughter named Jay from a previous relationship.
As the years passed, their family expanded to include twin boys of their own. He plays the role of primary breadwinner, and his wife works part-time at their boys’ school.
Sadly, Jay has always harbored a sense of resentment toward him, and he thinks it’s because his presence means that Jay’s parents are never getting back together.
“Meanwhile, I’m always there for Jay at her soccer games, helping her with homework, and driving her places considering I’m the “breadwinner” who pays for most of Jay’s things, which is completely fine, I love Jay,” he explained.
Jay’s biological father is a stark contrast to him, as he breaks his promises to Jay and constantly lets her down.
Although Jay’s dad is awful, Jay still loves him to pieces and wants him to have a role in her life. Considering the fact that her dad is not a reliable parent, he’s always left dealing with the fallout and Jay’s displaced anger.
It hurts him terribly to be Jay’s punching bag in the moments when her dad completely and utterly fails her.
Jay celebrated her 15th birthday two weeks back, and Jay’s dad promised to be in attendance for her birthday bash.
Well, Jay’s dad didn’t end up making it at all and eventually sent an apology text stating that something had come up.

He and Jay were the only ones awake in the household at that hour, so he could hear Jay beginning to cry over the text from her dad.
“I instantly started trying to comfort her,” he said. “After a few minutes, Jay freaked out, telling me to leave me alone. As I was leaving to give her her space, she said, “You’re not even my real dad anyway stop trying to act like it.” I understand I’m not her bio dad, but constantly getting verbally abused, just because I’m not her bio dad, even though I’ve always been there for her, is exhausting.”
He and Jay wound up not speaking to one another after her flipping out on him. But then, Jay broke the silence by requesting that he give her money so she could hang out with her friends.
“After how she treated me, I decided to say why don’t you ask your real dad for money because you constantly remind me I’m not him,” he continued.
Jay began sobbing and ran to her bedroom. His wife believes he was being too mean to Jay since he is aware of how terrible her dad really is. His wife does sympathize with how he responded to Jay, though, in light of how badly she does treat him all the time.
He decided to ask a few of his friends to weigh in on the situation too, and they all think he’s awful for saying what he did to Jay. He just feels that he did need to finally say what he did to make Jay realize he does a ton for her even though he’s not her “real dad.”
Do you think he took things too far?
