If I had no children with the mother, I would bounce.

Yeah his issue is almost definitely with the mother. I honestly don't even remember if there were tickets to my graduation because I would have just given them to my mom to handle.

Definitely some BS that she didn’t invite him.

Being petty has consequences and she is gonna have to learn that

He should be hurt by this. I agree with everything he did. The mom should have stepped in here. We all know Teens dont have the mindset to think about the consequences of their decisions but mom should have. Shame on her for not stepping up for her husband.

I'd side with the stepdad, but this story seems suspicious.

I'd like to hear the daughter's side of the story; before assuming the worst. If she really did push him out the picture, then he has every right to push her out of his.

The OT never ceases to amaze me. A grown man gets his feelings hurt so he runs to Facebook to cry about it. Kicks his stepdaughter—who he supposedly loves like his own child—out of his house and impulsively takes away her health insurance. For no reason other than he got his feelings hurt. And then runs to Facebook to say “look at me, look at me.” I’m not saying his wife and stepdaughter weren’t in the wrong, but surprised to see the OT support this grown man crying on social media about not getting an invitation to a freaking high school graduation.

This whole situation reeks. I think stepdad acted in an immature fashion, he should’ve sat stepdaughter down and had an honest conversation with her. Also with the mother.
In the end, it’s just a graduation day, and if he loves her like he implies, he should get over the hurt and help that kid succeed, not be as selfish as her mother.
And, stepdad might be a real a-hole we don’t know.

Welcome to the real world ladies. The aunt’s boyfriend should have definitely not made the cut.

I’ll go out on a limb and say this wasn’t the first time they disrespected him.. Too bad she’ll get half his stuff in the divorce.

A few FB comments below. One of them said he should’ve been waiting outside the ceremony with chocolates and candy for her ??

quote:

I'm sorry they did you like that... you have some thinking to do about where your relationship stands and where it's going in the future with everyone in your house. This was more than a seat at a graduation it was a statement about how they view you in their lives and the level of respect the have for you. I hope you heal from this experience and I wish you peace and prosperity king ????????



quote:

Speak your truth… out loud. Dont argue. Control your emotions. But everything you said on this post they should know and more. People will treat you the way you allow them too.


quote:

Put yourself first and leave your wife. She doesn't have your best interest at heart if she didn't allow you to go to the graduation. Raise your frequency and you'll find a woman that will match your positive energy


quote:

It’s hard and commendable being a parent to someone who doesn’t have your blood. I believe we love them because we want to and don’t ask of them to love us the same way. What I mean by that is that there will be times when they overlook us or don’t pick us. That shouldn’t lead to consequences. This is a special time in her life and she made the best decisions she could. She’s a child. You’re hurt because if your love for her; you wanted to celebrate an accomplishment you undoubtedly had a hand in her achieving. It was your day, too. Sometimes kids - and she’s still a kid - don’t understand what it really means to sacrifice for biological parents or parents who make room for someone else’s child. I’d suggest you celebrate her. Ask her why she didn’t invite you. Let her know how you feel without punishing her. Don’t add a strain to this memory. Hopefully with vulnerability and the love you have between you, you can move forward.

Queens are petty and vindictive. They have the maturity of teenagers for life.

Schools with a lot of blacks do this ticket thing recently. Seems like they bring everyone and then fights break out.

For those who doubt this just google “fight at graduation” and you’ll get tons of articles.

I feel for the dude but the "my truth" line that is so popular these days makes me feel less bad for him at the same time.

Plot twist. He’s a long haul trucker. Always gone. Every year she sat at home on her birthday, Christmas, thanksgiving etc just wishing he would be home…”just once, daddy”. But he had to make money to support the family. He had to save for her college fund. It wasn’t much but it’s all he could afford.

He never knew the tears she shed while he was gone. She never understood his sacrifice and all of the lonely nights on the road.

She always dreamed of being a doctor, just so she could pay back her debts to him. Now she has to abandon her dreams just so she can afford health and car insurance. She’s devastated. He’s devastated. On the way home from graduation with tears in her eyes, she hears something on the radio that gives her a new hope…

“Call 1-800-551-8900….the road starts right here…”

ETA - damn i really bombed on this one

Well it looks like he enjoyed being her father even if he wasn't biologically. He was being responsible for a child that wasn't his and he got fricked over. I feel bad for him.

What kind of scumbag wife would go to the graduation without her husband who raised the brat kid?

Good on that stepdad for doing that. It'll be a solid FAFO moment.

Wrong thread for this comment

There is no right thread for that shitty comment. There are too many good black men who are great fathers. They should not be slandered because their racial brothers and sisters live dissolute lives in higher proportion to other races.
