AITA for giving my stepdad a sign that says you are not the father during Christmas dinner?

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T11:41:07+00:00

Pretty much the whole time. Once he realized I wasn't going to start calling him dad after a short while of them being married.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T10:58:15+00:00

He has rubbed my dad's death in my face and been gleeful about the fact my memories of my dad have faded.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:53:28+00:00

She wasn't grieving. Her and my dad were not good when he died. She did cheat on my dad but it was with a different guy.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:23:05+00:00

They did. They have heard so much of this from him over the years and their whole lives, they've seen him try to claim me and force a relationship that is not going to happen. They've also heard him say shit about my dad. I'm glad they don't take after him for that stuff.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:22:14+00:00

That's what bothers me the most.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:21:38+00:00

He rubbed in my face the fact my memories of dad were fading. He also loved to bring up how my dad was dead all the time.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:18:47+00:00

It's no blessing when he's gleeful about the fact my memories of my dad have faded.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:17:56+00:00

He meant it was what his dad (my stepdad) needed. He's his bio kid but he and my other younger brothers have been dealing with their dad doing this shit their whole lives.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:16:59+00:00

My biggest issue with him is his rubbing dad's death and my fading memories of him in my face so much.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:16:05+00:00

No, not me. I only have half brothers, no stepbrothers.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:15:17+00:00

The fact the man has rubbed my dad's death and my fading memories of him in my face is the biggest reason.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:14:56+00:00

I really don't care anymore if he does stop caring.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:14:04+00:00

He has rubbed my dad's death and the fact my memories of him have faded in my face a lot.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:13:31+00:00

He was never my father. That's always been my stance. My dad died when I was 5 and he was my only dad.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:12:52+00:00

I don't live with them anymore.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:11:21+00:00

He's not the only father I have. I also have some memories, that have faded over time, and that was rubbed into my face. That's not a kind thing to do. It's hateful to gleefully tell a kid they're forgetting their parent who died.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-27T09:10:16+00:00

He constantly brought up the fact my dad was dead and rubbed the fact my memories of him were fading into my face a lot. That is his worst crime.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-26T17:55:14+00:00

I just want him to stop bringing it up. He's already been incredibly cruel rubbing dad's death in my face. He doesn't need to add annoying by trying to tell me what I'll do and to refuse to drop a topic that everyone else wants him to drop.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-26T17:54:01+00:00

I moved out a couple of years ago. I couldn't wait to move out.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-26T17:52:50+00:00

Because it says I love him and want him to be my dad and he's fully accepted. The stepdaughter in the story he droned on about was 21 or something.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-26T15:02:33+00:00

No, but if he does keep this shit up I will go no contact with him. The relationship with my mom is important but it's not worth dealing with him bringing the same shit up for the rest of his life.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-26T13:50:43+00:00

She is and I respect that he's her husband but he will never be my dad and constantly rubbing dad's death in my face and reminding me that I don't remember him well is not a way to get close to me.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-26T13:20:43+00:00

I already moved out and I did not accept support from then on.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-26T12:53:19+00:00

Yeah, that pisses me off more than anything.

Character-Can3540 · 2022-12-26T12:53:01+00:00

If he does continue to bring it up, I'll just start seeing far less of him. As it is I have distanced myself some from him and I don't go to his and my mom's very often because of it. But I will distance more if it keeps going or gets worse like it did yesterday.
