When this man’s son, Josh, was 16, he got his girlfriend, Chloe, pregnant.

He and his wife were not thrilled to hear this news, but they did their best to be as supportive as possible throughout this situation.

Josh and Chloe came to the decision to keep their baby.

Chloe’s parents reacted very differently, though.

Unfortunately, they were furious when she told them she was pregnant, and they kicked her out of their home.

Because Chloe then had nowhere else to go, he and his wife allowed her to move in with them.

“My wife and I developed a close bond with her as we helped her prepare for the baby. After the birth of their daughter, Brynn, Chloe and Josh lived with us until they were 22,” he said.

Because Chloe and Josh were so young when they became parents, he and his wife pitched in a lot while Chloe and Josh got their GEDs and attended trade school.

Understandably, it was a difficult journey for all of them, but he felt like the experience bonded their family closer together.

In his view, Chloe is essentially a daughter to her.

Today, Chloe and Josh are both 25 years old, and Brynn is 9.

After not communicating with Chloe for years, her parents reached out to her and apologized for their past actions, claiming that they wanted to be present in her life, as well as Josh’s and Brynn’s.

“Josh and Chloe chose to hesitantly let them in their daughter’s life. They have definitely played the part of overcompensating grandparents who try to pretend no time has passed. Brynn is healthy, safe, and loved; that’s all that matters. They have been standoffish with my wife and I,” he explained.

In his opinion, it seems like Chloe’s parents are envious and self-conscious about how he and his wife have such a strong bond with both Chloe and Brynn.

Since her parents have come back into the picture, he and his wife have attempted to organize talks or days out with Brynn and Chloe’s parents.

Every time they’ve tried to do this, Chloe’s parents have refused to get together with them.

Eventually, they gave up on trying to get to know them on a deeper level.

To keep the peace, he and his wife still make sure to be civil and nice.

Not long ago, Chloe and Josh told them that they were engaged, and Chloe asked if he could walk her down the aisle on their wedding day along with her father.

“She explained that she’d love to have ‘her other dad with her. I was touched. She has called me ‘Papa Sam’ for a while now (and my wife ‘Mama Carol’), but I still didn’t expect this. I accepted. Now, Chloe’s dad is refusing to walk her down the aisle because I will. He says that I am encroaching on a precious moment between him and his daughter,” he shared.

In response, he told Chloe’s father that because she asked him to walk her down the aisle, he was willing to accept her request.

Throughout this situation, Chloe told him she didn’t want him to listen to her father and step down from his role in the wedding. She wants both of them to walk her down the aisle.

He told her that he would be supportive of her wishes, and she said that she wanted to figure out a way to convince her father to agree to what she wanted.

Later, Chloe’s mother reached out and told him that he should step down from walking Chloe down the aisle, and she didn’t seem convinced that Chloe had requested he do so in the first place.

He was frustrated and told Chloe’s mother that if he stepped down, he would be “just as much of a deadbeat” as they had been toward Chloe for years.

After this, Chloe’s parents were furious with him.

From his wife’s perspective, he added fuel to the fire. She suggested that he give in to her parents’ demands and step down to appease them. That way, Chloe’s parents would still both be a part of her wedding day.

But he won’t step down until Chloe asks him to.
