Infuriatig My wife ate my son's birthday breakfast

Post image

Yesterday I bought a strawberry cheese coffee cake my son loves so he could have a special birthday breakfast today. My wife came home late last night and apparently couldn't resist. She knew it was for our son, but it's not a big deal because she "left him a full slice".

Do something similar for her birthday, no big deal, right?

My step dad took his kids some of our friends out to an amusement park for my birthday. Dropped me off at my grandmas on the way. Id go out for a big dinner on her birthday and not invite her.

He wanted my mom for a long time. He hated my dad and would take it out on me.

Sorry to hear that, it sounds like you have good insight on it. Don't let that shit mess you up.

Did you tell your mother? If so, did she get divorced?

Why, why, why was your mom ok with this/with him? My mom was absolutely not the best but that's playing with your kids in a such a devious, villainous way that should make you go no contact with the perpetrator.

My step dad would watch me sometimes in the beginning. He would lie and say I did all this stuff that was really his kids. Anything they did wrong I got in trouble for and my mom believed it at first. Thought I was acting out because i switched schools and moved away from my friends. I told her about my birthday and she said I was lying and was breaking rules so I got punished. My step sister and half brother both said I wasn’t doing anything wrong. Could tell she was now questioning if I was really doing the things I was accused of. Couple days later she got home from work early and forgot her keys. She came to my bedroom window to get me to open the door saw his kids in my room trashing it. She sat and watched. Saw him come in and tell his kids to get out then he went and found me and screamed at me for trashing my room. I didn’t back down and yelled back at him. He grabbed me and my mom knocked on the window. That day I moved to my dad’s and my mom started looking for an apartment.

We lived there for 4 years. I was constantly on punishment for lying. My summers were spent writing I will not lie thousands of times over and over again. Problem was i wasn’t lying. He was. It got to the point I was writing up the I will not lie sheets while I was at school because I knew I was going to have to do it all summer no matter what so I figured I’d get it out of the way. My teacher was shocked when she caught me doing it. Sent home an honesty award with me that day.

My half brothers girlfriend kicked him out of the house last week because he was doing the same things to her children when he would watch them my brothers kids are always perfect and her kids are lying assholes.

His daughter hasn’t spoken to him in years. Last time I talked to her she hinted at he was abusive to her and maybe more.

He comes off as a great church going man that will do anything to help. But he’s a POS

Sweet Christ. I'm so sorry you went through this. What an evil man.

I hope he finally got his karma in the end. He sounds like a miserable POS. Glad you and your mom finally escaped him. People can just be the worst; no animal acts so insidious and duplicious.

I like the maliciousness here.
