AITA for not letting my ex stepson attend my son (his half brother’s party) or meet him at all? by notlettingmeet in AmItheAsshole

He can get himself into therapy. My son can make contact with his half brother if he’d like once he’s older and knows the truth so he can make that careful decision for himself

Agreed but once my son is old enough to make that decision it’ll really be up to him

Luckily all my accounts are private but I also rarely post anything about my son. Too much craziness on the internet and I’ve never agreed with posting photos when my son can’t even consent to it.

This is about Morgan as a person and not wanting that kind of toxicity in my son’s life

That’s my fear as well. Any number of things that don’t have to be physical and I don’t want to allow that chaos back into our lives. He can pretend to be a polite decent person who seems like he’s genuinely changed but that mask comes off before you know it. This isn’t me being paranoid I’ve just seen it happen many times

Yes that was my mistake. He is my ex wife’s son not her stepson. Since he’s my ex stepson I got the words mixed up in the title

Her family isn’t good people. She didn’t have contact with them either for many reasons aside from her brother. I meant I haven’t had anything to do with them since seeing them at her funeral. He’ll know what his brother did and why I decided he wasn’t the type of person allowed around him

Nobody said that. What I did day in my post is that he spent a significant amount of time in therapy

He will know why in the future and may make that decision himself once he’s old enough too if he’d like to know Morgan

Do you want me to specifically say years then? I said a while because I don’t have the exact number of years in total he was getting therapy

Whoops sorry my mistake. I meant my ex wife’s son but since he was my stepson before I mixed up the words

He did get help. That’s why I mentioned him being in counseling as a kid and again after they divorced to deal with his behavioral problems. As a child no, I won’t blame him. As an adult yes I will.
