Well said. Not only should OP go full NO CONTACT with his mother and stepfather, he should also move to another state, and grow his own family consisting of supportive friends, a trustworthy therapist, and a warm-hearted woman whose family are good people. OP can invite his bio-dad to come visit/hang out with him in his new state, any time he wants.
Walking away from your mom couldn’t have been easy. Even though she treated you horribly, it’s still tough to break that connection. You’re strong for choosing your well-being.
Setting boundaries like you did is powerful. Your stepdad sounds like a real piece of work, but what hurts the most is how your mom let all this happen. Keep protecting your peace.
Well said. I see the future where the mother looks at pics of OP at his wedding, gender reveal party, and baby shower with his replacement family (his wife, therapist, friends, and in-laws), pics of OP with his wife and their new baby, and not only wonders why OP went NO CONTACT with her, but also wonders why OP left her out of those important events, and chose to include his bio-dad, instead. And when the mother's new husband Sam divorces her, and throws her out, she'll try to contact OP, and beg him to take her in, only, to find out that OP moved states away, disconnected his phone number, and deleted his social media accounts.⚠️
The way your mom still chose Sam over you after all that is heartbreaking. Trying to exploit someone’s grief is next level terrible. You’re better off without them in your life.
It’s wild how your mom and stepdad thought their scam would work. Blocking them was the best decision. Stay strong, they don’t deserve any of your help.
Your mom’s reckless, plain and simple. Dragging you into their financial mess because they can’t handle the consequences is so wrong. Walking away was the smartest move.
In a way your mom still does have a claim on you, because you let her and Sam get away with their deceit. The boss deserves to know that he was taken advantage of and both your mom and Sam need to made to take responsibility for their misdeeds.
Honestly, I’m so angry on your behalf. They used you without a care for how it affected you. Asking you to lie and cover for them? That’s disgusting behavior.

You did the right thing by blocking her. Protect your peace. Family doesnt always mean loyalty
You’re handling this with more maturity than many adults. Seriously impressive
Man this hits hard. I can’t believe your mom would use you like that after all those years. You’re better off without them
I’m so sorry you had to go through this. Protect your mental health above all else
It’s wild how toxic relationships can persist through so much time. You deserve better
Good on you for cutting ties It’s not worth it to let her manipulate you again. Stand your ground

Good for you for standing firm. This is YOUR life not theirs to manipulate

This whole situation is just heartbreaking. I really hope you find the closure you need
Love that you have a solid relationship with your dad now Sounds like he’s your rock
Kudos for prioritizing your mental health Therapy sounds like a great ste
Are we sure this isn’t just a ploy to get you back into her life Trust your gut

I can relate to the guilt. It’s a complex emotion but you’re doing the right thing
You’re stronger than you think Facing this takes guts Keep working on yourself
Family dynamics can be so toxic. You’re not alone in this struggle even if it feels that way
Surround yourself with positivity and support You’re worth it
This is such a heavy situation. I really hope you find some peace soon
It’s tough to remain hopeful but don’t lose sight of who you are. You’ve got this
I can’t believe she actually expected you to pretend to be sick. Thats next-level manipulation
Life is too short to waste on toxic relationships. Keep moving forward
The journey to self-discovery is tough but you’re on the right path
The way your mom still chose Sam over you after all that is heartbreaking. Trying to exploit someone’s grief is next level terrible. You’re better off without them in your life.
Sam is the worst. It’s crazy how people can ruin families. Glad you’re distancing yourself from that mess
I can’t imagine how hard it must be to see your mom like that. But she made her choices
This journey to healing wont be easy but its a step in the right direction Keep going
This story is a rollercoaster. The emotional upheaval must be exhausting.
It wouldn't be sinking low telling the boss. You would be doing him a favour 17:52
The betrayal the drama I can’t even imagine how betrayed you must feel
It’s wild how your mom and stepdad thought their scam would work. Blocking them was the best decision. Stay strong, they don’t deserve any of your help.
The pain of lost connections is tough. Just remember that you’re not alone in this
She sounds desperate but it doesn’t excuse her actions. You can’t fix her
This is wild. Your mom chose Sam over you and now she expects you to bail her out Nope. Block her and move on
It’s really sad how your mom abandoned her role as a parent. People make mistakes, sure, but trying to guilt-trip you into fraud? That’s unforgivable.
Your mom’s reckless, plain and simple. Dragging you into their financial mess because they can’t handle the consequences is so wrong. Walking away was the smartest move.
It’s infuriating how she’s trying to manipulate you. You deserve better
Honestly some people just don’t deserve a second chance. Sounds like your mom is one of them
What is your opinion about the mother in this story?
Op should've warned sam anonymously to what the mom and her husband,this would be a better course of action.
My mother has pulled the guilt and pity card one two many times; I have talked to her in 17 years and I never will.
You deserve to have connections that feel healthy and positive
Op mom only have herself to blame for letting her husband rent out his son room and now she has to deal with her lack of defense for her son
0:07
Honestly what were they planning with that loan It sounds shady AF. You dodged a bullet
It’s great you’re considering therapy. Healing takes time but it’s worth it
I wonder if your mom will ever wake up and realize how toxic her choices have been
It’s okay to feel conflicted though. You loved her once that doesn’t just go away
In a way your mom still does have a claim on you, because you let her and Sam get away with their deceit.
The boss deserves to know that he was taken advantage of and both your mom and Sam need to made to take responsibility for their misdeeds.
*Christ! OP is weak. His stepfather was straight up abusing his mother & rather than confront him he whines about it on reddit.*
I don’t think this is real. The loan and pretend it to be for college tuition shows up in a different story, with different characters.
Honestly, I’m so angry on your behalf. They used you without a care for how it affected you. Asking you to lie and cover for them? That’s disgusting behavior.
I wonder what your mom’s real motives are. Maybe she just wants to keep you in her orbit for her benefit
I feel for your mom though. Addiction or mental health issues could explain her behavior.
Your mom made her bed she can lie in it Don’t feel bad for not helping
I’d still feel a tiny bit guilty though. It’s hard to turn your back on your mom even with everything she’s done
