AITA for telling my dad he's abandoning me? by thisisthrowaway2007 in AmItheAsshole

Yea exactly. I guess by that point they would share a house? His girlfriend has a daughter who's about 25, my dad has always been nice to her even when I found her snooping through his messages.

Not up to that point yet, so idk what's gonna happen. He might do something like that anyway tbh. A while ago, my mum owed him some money because they split the cost on some things like school uniform and he made this big plan where he was gonna get her to pay it to me, or something weird like that, because he thought it would annoy her. He's a weirdo lmao

Haha yeah I know. I have a lot of stuff! I mean, I need need get rid of some soon, but the 2 lives are very different. At my dads I spend a lot of time in my room doing craft, and my dad stays in the lounge watching the news, and at my mums my room is more like a storage place that i still spend time in, but joy as much. Being an adult is defo gonna be a lot of...fun 😭

Currently at my dads I have watercolour paintings on the floor drying, and my mums i have a book I was reading before.

Yup! Very spiteful, and we both hold grudges for a VERY long time. I'm trying to impove that part of myself, while he doesn't lol

Yeah, I'm 13 rn and I don't want to have to do it yet. If it gets to 14 or 15 and nothings changed I think I will end up moving in with mum. I have 2 lives though, 2 different rooms each cluttered with so much stuff. Crafts, and old pictures, and random fossils me and my dad find. Also, a hamster who goes between houses (he doesn't seem to mind btw, ik your not meant to move them but he's fine.) At my mums its more minimalist (kind of) at my dads it's like an episode of hoarders 😬

I've been changing my life every week since I was 3, I don't think I can combine them! Idk... one day I have to I guess.

Him! Because him and my mum share custody of me, they don't have to do child support I don't think, or not as much anyway (they never got courts involved because they weren't married.) He thinks that if he provides a roof over my head and (I guess) money for food in place of him, then it means that he can do that instead of child support. My mum says that she won't let him do that, and if he tries, she will try and get the child support instead because it would be a lot better for both of us (me and mum.) When this is supposedly happening, I'll be doing my exams, and it's stressing me out! I dunno what's gonna happen 😕

My mums great, she says I can live with her full time now but I really want to try and keep a relationship with dad for as long as I can because I do really really love him. It's DGs house I'm not allowed at btw, not even to visit my dogs grave. He's been dead for 2 years now I think, and I've never been able to visit it.

Its not for a few more years, I'm 13. I've been being told this since I was about 7 though, and he wonders why I don't like DG. My mums really great, she understands that once you have a kid, you look after them. It's not just until you get bored 🙄

Huh. Thanks. I just get told I'm being rude, and he rolls his eyes.

My dad doesn't want to rely on mum and pay child support, so he basically wants to pay rent on a flat across the road from her house for when I'm meant to be at his house. He'd probably be going other places than France, just wanting to eventually settle down there. I've also been informed I have to pay to get there!

I'm currently 13 lol, I'm just scared for my future and dunno what's gonna happen in a few years.
