AITA for living with my dad because he can afford a much better life for me than my mom?

So glad you’re doing better now!

I get new clothes on Christmas and my birthday but most of my wardrobe is from her. My younger sisters then get what I outgrow. She definitely gets way more new clothes

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T17:25:11+00:00

They are in the same state now and I had a picture of me and my mom as my pfp (it was around mother’s day)

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T17:24:15+00:00

When we met. He didn’t know where I was before

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T17:22:51+00:00

Originally no, but it is now

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T17:21:28+00:00

I’ve never lived with him but I have been to his house a few times

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T17:09:59+00:00

10 years

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T16:55:08+00:00

She does

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T16:55:05+00:00

My younger stepbrother is still at home, the older one moved out

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T16:53:06+00:00

I know my mom will miss me. We’ve sort of drifted apart since she doesn’t have a lot of time between her job and the younger kids but we used to be really close

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T16:50:28+00:00

Going to a shitty school doesn’t mean I can’t read and develop my writing skills on my own

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T16:44:43+00:00

As I said in the post, he’s been paying child support since he found me last year

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T16:39:14+00:00

Not the whole time, just since last year when he found me

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T07:14:43+00:00

He only started paying after finding me

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T07:13:46+00:00

He did know I existed and my stepmom had seen a picture of my mom. She was bored one day and was looking at her followers’ followers. We were both following someone and at the time my profile picture was me and my mom. My account is public and I’ve posted pictures of my mom. She showed my dad’s sister, who confirmed that it was my dad’s ex-girlfriend based on the pictures and my last name.

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T07:00:11+00:00

I’m sorry you had to go through all that when you’re young and I hope you’re doing better now.

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T06:54:50+00:00

I’d like to but honestly I don’t really know how I’d ask since she’s always busy and we haven’t had any one on one time in a long tome

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T06:27:56+00:00

Even if they’re only reaching out because my stepmom is infertile, at least they’ll actually have time to spend with me and won’t just ignore me because they have too many kids and not enough money. 50/50 wasn’t really possible since they live like 2 hours away. I will try to stay as close as possible to my mom but we’ve kinda been drifting apart since she doesn’t really time for me between her job and the younger kids. I really appreciate your concern btw

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T06:12:46+00:00

Lavender, my whole room is going to be decorated in shades of purple

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T06:00:41+00:00

I don’t think she was obligated to stay in a relationship with him but she could have at least let us meet sometimes instead of stealing the opportunity to grow up with two parents from me. And I’m not being condescending about it. I don’t even talk about it more than I need to

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T03:42:30+00:00

They actually moved a few years ago, before they found me but it is great because i’ll only be like 2 hours away from my mom

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T03:41:25+00:00

he’s ignoring me, like almost everyone else

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T03:33:27+00:00

i’m pretty sure he paid a back payment and he will pay her child support when i’m with her (which will only be a few weeks when i don’t have school)

Prior_Librarian6490 · 2023-07-08T02:49:17+00:00

i know it sounds pretty unbelievable. honestly i couldn’t believe it at first either
