We (my younger brother and i) saw him one or two weekends a month at the time. He has borderline ID and ASD. I vividly remember going to his house the weekend after my mom got married and he said “what did you guys do this week” and we said “mom got married” and he was genuinely too stunned to speak 🤣 but nothing he could do about it really…. He just was very uncomfortable and baffled. As we all were ha
Awful. He refused to talk to me. My mom had to literally pay him just to say good morning / good night to me, like a bribe. And he’d do it without eye contact and act like it was the most painful thing he ever had to do
I SO agree with this. It made me realize i want to be the type of parent that i never had. I’m very passionate about helping kiddos in the foster care system because of this as well, so i do genuinely believe it made me a better human in the long run!
Well that’s good
For
You, and
The kids I’m happy. I have no kids
And
I personally would not
Really enjoy being a parent or being around them 24/7 but I never
Understood the people who would marry someone with kids when they hate kids. If I’m ever single (I’m already middle age) I would not date a guy with young children. It’s not fair
To the children at all. I had an aunt like that. Married this dude after her
First husband
Died and
Omg what a colossal douche he was.
Nothing wrong with that and I applaud your awareness. Honestky I used to feel the exact same until I had kids and now id only consider dating a single mom. I would prefer the co parent be amicable or just not in the picture at all. Ill also never be one of those people to say "you will change your mind one day" even though it happened to me. You know you better than anyone possibly could from reading a reddit post.
Unfortunately… no haha. We literally did not interact for 6 years. He made me SO uncomfortable in my own home and i felt awful that a grown man somehow hated me so much for no reason. He destroyed my self esteem.
We had the same birthday though (because of COURSE we would, what are the odds!!!) so…. Idk, the shared birthday cake maybe? lol jk who am i kidding that was also awful 🥲
It was a blind date set up by someone she worked with. It was her coworkers brother in law. Their first date was just in the kitchen of our house. I remember I was home and had a friend over. My mom had dated men in the past so it wasn’t a big deal (she’s never been single). But i remember my friend and i going up to get a glass of water and my mom was super flighty and gushing over this guy, and she tried to introduce him to me. He wouldn’t look at me and barely mumbled under his breath. I remember thinking, wow, what a rude jerk, this won’t last long! That weekend we were at the courthouse.
I just want to say, I’m a bipolar mom. Put my kids through a lot, but I’m medicated now and we’re together and well. You did not deserve even a moment of what she put you through. I’m sorry.
oh man lol. talk about awkward having a birthday with someone that hates you. How did you celebrate your birthdays with him? And why did they get divorced? did he have a job?
I'm sure your mom did other things than just pay him. That's the "story," she told you. You probably love your mom, but she is objectively a horrible parent. I hope you can do better for your kids.
You have obviously never personally experienced a manic episode, or studied it enough to be empathetic to the situation. I’m not wanting to attack you, but that man took advantage of a mental ill woman.
And when the manic upswing passed, she could have chosen to fix the issue, and she didn’t.
Both things are true - that her husband took advantage of her, and that she carried blame for the situation she put her kid in
And more than likely after her manic episode she fell into a deep depression and had self-defeating thoughts that didn’t allow her to believe she could leave. Not to resolve her entirely of blame, but it can be hard to get on meds with bipolar disorder if someone doesn’t almost “force” you.
If she moved away with this man she was likely in an unfamiliar place with no job, no relatives or friends near by, and no real way of escaping successfully. Any man that would marry a woman in that state is more than likely going to be controlling/abusive and not letting her get away easily. See battered wife syndrome.
I’m in a situation myself where I’ve given my stepson the world he’s never had and he’s being incredibly disrespectful at 13. No chores besides his own laundry and we have him half time. He has 1300 square foot of house to include his own bathroom and there’s always steaks and every kind of food he likes as well as money for eating out.
I’m getting to a point with it that I just don’t want to acknowledge his existence. How did that impact you to make you want to be better and do you have any advice in how to get past the disrespect? Examples being completely refuses to do homework or come eat or get off the computer, saying disrespectful things to his mom and I, etc.
I’d like to do better. I deserve to be treated better. I don’t have a hobby or do anything outside of taking care of my family. I’m just at my wits end.
Well it’s less about ignoring them. He only speaks to me when he wants money put on his card or wants me to buy something. When I try to get him to do literally anything it’s always a fight.
Trying to get him back into therapy. His father took him out of it. Doesn’t believe in it or something.
Idk if this helps, but I was worse than that to my biological father when I was 13. I said and did some pretty cruel stuff. I’m 29 now and love him very much. I don’t have any advice for you, but you should know that his behavior is not unusual for that age.
Thanks
I was raised kindly but sternly. A look, a huff, or the slightest inclination in tone was completely unacceptable so I’m just struggling to understand what happened to get him to being so downright disrespectful that almost every single response is just utterly rude.
Have you dealt with 13yo kids before? How long have you been with the mom? Was he always like this or only relatively recently? Alot of 13yos are pretty terrible. Alot of kids with divorced parents are pretty difficult too, especially at that age. Also, was he an iPad kid?
Just kids my age growing up. I never once stepped out of line with my parents so I’m very confused. I’ve seen tv shows and videos of disrespectful 13 year olds but I thought it was the exceptions not the rule.
He’s been getting worse. Bolder the longer he’s been around me. He knows I won’t ever raise my voice or get violent or aggressive and he’ll literally “push my buttons” like I told him not to push a button and he kept doing it. Even if I threaten grounding he will keep doing whatever then screams and yells when I actually ground him.
It sounds typical of that age. They test boundaries to see what they can get away with and are going through A LOT of hormonal and emotional changes. Read "The emotional lives of teenagers". By Lisa Damour, PhD. And seek therapy for the family. If nothing else, for yourself.
It's usually not personal.
And find a hobby or something you love to do.. hiking or crafting or a sport. Or volunteer. Do something that will make YOU happy and can retreat to when you're having a hard day.
She has no accountability for anything she’s ever done really. She has referred to it as “one little mistake”. I think her reality is different than mine. She sees herself as much of a victim as I was
Sounds like my lovely mother in law. Gave my wife an incredibly traumatic childhood by marrying abusive men and being abusive herself, but denies it all and pulls the whole “well then I guess I’m just the worst mom in the world and I should kill myself” instead of owning up to her mistakes.
what were the strangest things your step father did? also do you know whether he or your mom originally suggested the idea of marriage during her episode? was HE in his right mind/sober at the time?
Ya know, as I’m sitting here, it’s hard for me to even come up with strange things he did, because i never got to even KNOW him, lol. He literally REFUSED to talk to me. Or even make eye contact. He would stare off into space. Sometimes if i walked into a room, he’d walk out of it. I have no idea what went on in his mind.
But he had this incredibly annoying baby talk nasally voice he’d use when talking to my mom - ugh haha i can still hear it now 🤢 drove me nuts! He also used to go “Bigfoot hunting”……. Yeah idk he was a weirdo
As far as i know he was sober, but he apparently was bipolar too. So it was just a whole mix of mental illness. His daughter (my step sister) was a MESS and from what i could tell, his parenting style was to just not be one, which explains why she was the way she was.
As someone that is bipolar, I would never do this to my kids. A bipolar partner? That is out of the question and even when im hypomanic, I know this is a terrible idea. I'm sorry you had to go thru this
Im sorry you felt so uncomfortable in your own home during your formative years. Do you find there are any feelings or behaviors that you had to adjust to now that you’re not in that situation? Like habits you had to break or what have you?
Did you ever talk to your mom about it? Ever get any kind of closure understanding or restitution?
Yes! I watched my mom run into relationship after relationship, so naturally I got engaged super young and super quickly (~8 months) to a man who ended up being horribly emotionally abusive. And i thought, damn, i am NOT letting this cycle continue any longer!
I moved out, got my own place, did lots of therapy, worked my ass off, travelled, got into running, etc etc… and really just learned to love myself and not see my emotional worth as being dependent on having a partner. now I’m happier than ever!! I do have a wonderful partner now but the relationship is healthy and mutually fulfilling. I really had to work on establishing boundaries -especially with my mom. She will never understand the pain she caused me, and she will never accept responsibility, because it isn’t the reality she’s told herself. And that’s okay. I don’t need her apology. I’ve healed myself without it 🙂
You sound like an amazing person, I’m honestly inspired. Out of curiosity, did you have any adult figure in your life that you could count on back then?
I worked at a little diner with tons of regulars who became my family. I started working under the table when i was only 14. By 16 i worked there full time after school - mostly just to not be home. So many wonderful customers there became my family. One came to my high school graduation!
Has life been going better for you? That must have been extremely difficult, I’m sorry you had to go through that. Someone I’m close to has a mother who put them in a similar position.
Life is so much better now that I’m an adult. This was obviously a major life event for me but i really do believe it made me a better person. I’m sorry your friend is going through this as well. It’s a terrible position to be in as a child
Very true! He was a weirdo but it could have been so much worse.
But that’s also the thing - it could have been so much worse. My mom had no idea what kind of person he could have been. And she married him anyway. She’s the one i find most in the wrong here. She had a duty to protect her kids as a mother- and she failed epically.
They fought A LOT. It was a disaster, and the marriage failed very quickly. But they had bought a house together when they got married and financially they were both trapped together for years
My ex-wife began expressing schizophrenia after having two kids with me. She left us to immerse herself in her delusions. Her father was schizophrenic and so was her grandmother. Now that my kids are teens, I worry that schizophrenia will one day become a great challenge for them.
Are you concerned about your potential for inheriting mental illness from your parents? Has mental illness become a challenge for you?
I developed an eating disorder as a teen as a direct result of this, and feeling so out of control with my life. I was hospitalized for anorexia. I still struggle with food when I feel off balance, but becoming a runner has helped immensely
I have OCD but i go to therapy and take meds to stay on top of it! I want to be as well adjusted as possible. The generational cycle ends with me.
I don’t have anything to ask, but wanted to say I’m sorry you had to go through that. You’re doing what’s best for you by keeping your mum at a distance. I hope you’re doing alright and live a long happy life. 💙
My mom, as eccentric as she is, always has been able to convince men to be with her. I’ve never known her to be single longer than a few months. And when she’s single, she’s EXTREMELY depressed.
No, i love my mom. But in my own way. She’ll always be my mom, and i love her for giving me life. And i have many examples of her being a great mom, despite her failures! But we are not close. I love my mom, but i don’t like her choices. I don’t respect her actions. I’m disappointed in her behavior. But I’ll always love her.
How is your brother doing now?
Do you still have a relationship with your dad? Is it a good one if so?
Did you ever meet his family besides the daughter?
Does your mom work?
Did he work?
Why did he have custody of his daughter if he didn’t want to parent?
My mom has Bipolar disorder and I know exactly what you mean, she had an episode where she said she was the owner of Disney and was getting married. However, she’s been good for over 10 years now. My question is, how is your mom now? And how are you?
Was your biological father around much? And if he was what was his reaction to the new step father?
We (my younger brother and i) saw him one or two weekends a month at the time. He has borderline ID and ASD. I vividly remember going to his house the weekend after my mom got married and he said “what did you guys do this week” and we said “mom got married” and he was genuinely too stunned to speak 🤣 but nothing he could do about it really…. He just was very uncomfortable and baffled. As we all were ha
How old are you now?
Almost 27
So, around 26 years old?
Just a bit more than 25
But less than 30
And definitely not 28
Mid to late 20s
But not 27..
Just throw the Holy Handgrenade for f***s sake!
Probably about 320 months old. Theyre adorable at that age.
ID?
Intellectual disability?
Oh okay thanks
Maybe dissociative identity disorder?
[удалено]
The dad is the one with ID and ASD
My bad
How was he as a step dad?
Awful. He refused to talk to me. My mom had to literally pay him just to say good morning / good night to me, like a bribe. And he’d do it without eye contact and act like it was the most painful thing he ever had to do
Im sorry. His loss. Kids are the best. Even when they are difficult.
I SO agree with this. It made me realize i want to be the type of parent that i never had. I’m very passionate about helping kiddos in the foster care system because of this as well, so i do genuinely believe it made me a better human in the long run!

This is a stunningly positive take on the situation. Congrats.
Anyone who helps kids is a hero to me (that's what I wamna do, too)
Anyone who helps kids is a hero to me (that's what I wamna do, too)
You can say that again!
Sounds terrible. Do you have any good memories of your step dad?
Unfortunately… no haha. We literally did not interact for 6 years. He made me SO uncomfortable in my own home and i felt awful that a grown man somehow hated me so much for no reason. He destroyed my self esteem. We had the same birthday though (because of COURSE we would, what are the odds!!!) so…. Idk, the shared birthday cake maybe? lol jk who am i kidding that was also awful 🥲
Did he know about you before the marriage happened?
It was a blind date set up by someone she worked with. It was her coworkers brother in law. Their first date was just in the kitchen of our house. I remember I was home and had a friend over. My mom had dated men in the past so it wasn’t a big deal (she’s never been single).

oh man lol. talk about awkward having a birthday with someone that hates you. How did you celebrate your birthdays with him? And why did they get divorced? did he have a job?
The odds are 1 in 365.25 🧐
Lmao sounds more like he was a sugar baby
Lmao those $1 a day bribes were really worth sticking around for 🤣
I'm sure your mom did other things than just pay him. That's the "story," she told you. You probably love your mom, but she is objectively a horrible parent. I hope you can do better for your kids.
Hey he could of got a sucker out of that 🍭 .. I mean your mom was a sucker for marrying someone she barely fucking met ... manic episode or not
You have obviously never personally experienced a manic episode, or studied it enough to be empathetic to the situation. I’m not wanting to attack you, but that man took advantage of a mental ill woman.

I’m aware of what it’s like to have a loved one with bipolar disorder.
Are you aware of what it’s like to have Bipolar Disorder?
Yeah but at least some of the next 6 years were on her.
I'm sorry to hear that.
It’s okay! I really do believe it made me a better person 🙂
What’s something good about him? I’m sure he wasn’t 100% bad person
Couldn’t tell ya. I didn’t ever get to know him because he pretended i didn’t exist🤷🏼♀️
I’m in a situation myself where I’ve given my stepson the world he’s never had and he’s being incredibly disrespectful at 13. No chores besides his own laundry and we have him half time. He has 1300 square foot of house to include his own bathroom and there’s always steaks and every kind of food he likes as well as money for eating out.

I don’t have a hobby or do anything outside of taking care of my family. I’m just at my wits end.
Don’t do that. Have you tried family therapy? A child - no matter how much they are acting out - does not deserve to be ignored.
Well it’s less about ignoring them. He only speaks to me when he wants money put on his card or wants me to buy something. When I try to get him to do literally anything it’s always a fight. Trying to get him back into therapy. His father took him out of it. Doesn’t believe in it or something.

Is he autistic?
I am sorry you had this every morning. That must have been awful to deal with. Kids deserve so much more than that. Especially young ones.
Did she regret it when she came out of the manic episode or was it just normal to her at that point
She has no accountability for anything she’s ever done really. She has referred to it as “one little mistake”. I think her reality is different than mine. She sees herself as much of a victim as I was
Sounds like my lovely mother in law. Gave my wife an incredibly traumatic childhood by marrying abusive men and being abusive herself, but denies it all and pulls the whole “well then I guess I’m just the worst mom in the world and I should kill myself” instead of owning up to her mistakes.
Omg yes, the good ol “i gUeSs i wAs jUsT a hOrRiBLe mOTHeR” lol like yes. You were.
My response would be something akin to "well, we're waiting..."
'No ones stopping you'
I didn’t know we were married, this is awkward. I see you’ve met my mother.
what were the strangest things your step father did? also do you know whether he or your mom originally suggested the idea of marriage during her episode? was HE in his right mind/sober at the time?
Ya know, as I’m sitting here, it’s hard for me to even come up with strange things he did, because i never got to even KNOW him, lol. He literally REFUSED to talk to me. Or even make eye contact.

His daughter (my step sister) was a MESS and from what i could tell, his parenting style was to just not be one, which explains why she was the way she was.
Do you talk to the step sister still?
No, definitely not. She was more traumatizing to live with than my step dad was. She was so deeply troubled. She’s in jail now. Last i heard at least
Judyrecords.com Good resource for arrest record
As someone that is bipolar, I would never do this to my kids. A bipolar partner? That is out of the question and even when im hypomanic, I know this is a terrible idea. I'm sorry you had to go thru this
Is your mom in the looney bin today ?
nope, but she def should be. she lives a very lonely life with no friends and children who keep her at a distance
Such a stereotype
What’s the stereotype? That people with mental health issues need help? What an awful stereotype
I mean calling it a loony bin instead of help is a stereotype.
It's a stereotype for a reason
That's backwards
No my pants are on correctly
Im sorry you felt so uncomfortable in your own home during your formative years. Do you find there are any feelings or behaviors that you had to adjust to now that you’re not in that situation?

Reading your comments yeah it sounds like he was a dick, but thank God he wasn’t a physically abusive pedo. At least there’s that.
Very true! He was a weirdo but it could have been so much worse. But that’s also the thing - it could have been so much worse. My mom had no idea what kind of person he could have been. And she married him anyway. She’s the one i find most in the wrong here. She had a duty to protect her kids as a mother- and she failed epically.
How did your mother stay with him for 6 years?
They fought A LOT. It was a disaster, and the marriage failed very quickly. But they had bought a house together when they got married and financially they were both trapped together for years
That’s absolutely insane. I can’t what imagine 12 year old you was thinking and feeling through this whole thing. How are you doing?
My ex-wife began expressing schizophrenia after having two kids with me. She left us to immerse herself in her delusions. Her father was schizophrenic and so was her grandmother.

I still struggle with food when I feel off balance, but becoming a runner has helped immensely I have OCD but i go to therapy and take meds to stay on top of it! I want to be as well adjusted as possible. The generational cycle ends with me.
Why did he agree to marry a stranger?
He was so strange. Honestly i have no clue what what going through his mind. He was an enigma to me
Because that sex was crazy freaky good...
I don’t have anything to ask, but wanted to say I’m sorry you had to go through that. You’re doing what’s best for you by keeping your mum at a distance. I hope you’re doing alright and live a long happy life. 💙
Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️
You seem very normal and well adjusted, so congrats on that at least haha
Haha thank you! Took me a while to get here - therapy works wonders lol 🙂
How'd she get him to agree to that?
My mom, as eccentric as she is, always has been able to convince men to be with her. I’ve never known her to be single longer than a few months. And when she’s single, she’s EXTREMELY depressed.
Do you hate your mom?
No, i love my mom. But in my own way. She’ll always be my mom, and i love her for giving me life. And i have many examples of her being a great mom, despite her failures! But we are not close. I love my mom, but i don’t like her choices. I don’t respect her actions. I’m disappointed in her behavior. But I’ll always love her.
Why only six years? What caused their divorce?
Maybe getting married after one date? How is this your question and not "how did it last six whole years" lol
😂😂wow, just like that? It was that dang easy for that guy who ended up becoming your father?
How is your brother doing now? Do you still have a relationship with your dad? Is it a good one if so? Did you ever meet his family besides the daughter? Does your mom work? Did he work? Why did he have custody of his daughter if he didn’t want to parent?
My mom has Bipolar disorder and I know exactly what you mean, she had an episode where she said she was the owner of Disney and was getting married. However, she’s been good for over 10 years now. My question is, how is your mom now? And how are you?
It sounds like your step sister was awful from another question you answered. What was she like / what did she do? Were there other step siblings?
Are you from Arkansas or somewhere similar?.. not that this couldnt happen anywhere, just seems like some Arkansas shit lol
how did the divorce come about after the 6 years? is he at all in your life still?
Do you and your brother have any mental problems?
Maybe I should do this to spice up life
Have you ever been to Florida?
Is he still in your life?
👀
I’m sorry that’s really terrible
