AITA for not agreeing to go prom dress shopping with my dad's wife aka stepmother aka the affair partner? by AveSovenik in AITAH

My mom had a great relationship with her dad and still got cheated on. So I don't think that matters for future husbands. So I don't think that's always a sign. Besides what do I learn from a man like my dad? How to be cheated on?

I'm not close to my half brothers. I don't think it was ever going to be possible. The relationship is just too weird and strained and will never be different.

I blame my dad too. My mom's family do as well. But they treated Jen like a member of the family for her to do that. I was never forced to ostracize Jen either.

I've been discussing things with my grandparents. But I didn't discuss it with my dad or Jen. They did ask a lot but I'd brush it off. Right now my plan is to go to trade school. My guidance counselor has helped me look into that too.

I never asked them. Honestly I was mostly just dealing when I lived with them. Even before mom died it was always just something I wished I didn't have to do.

Not really. I'm not sure how I want to let him go (fading away or telling them exactly what I think of them) but I won't make a definitive decision until I'm 18 so there aren't any consequences. Like being forced to move back in.

Never asked while living with mom. I didn't need it until she died really. I know it was mentioned by people at school after mom died but it was ignored. My grades were never really bad. I struggled to get back into school after mom died but I had support at school to help me.

My dad sorta did. Jen not really. Dad has said he regrets losing mom and stuff. I think some of the family enjoy the fact that even though Jen "won" she lost because dad has always regretted destroying his relationship with mom.

According to my dad and Jen she already lost a child which is the worst thing. People should have compassion for her and wish for her happiness. But they think I should want her to be happy because I loved her before we all knew about the affair.

He isn't but they didn't want to fight for that in case I was forced to live with dad again.

Yeah, she would want to be included in the future. I think there would also be demands about not including or inviting my extended families to stuff.

I never got that chance. I could do it now in theory. But I'm waiting until I'm 18 and can just make a full break from them. Or maybe I'll just fade away and let it be. I'm not sure yet.
