Hey Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking

out some more relationship stories and if you do love a Reddit story why not consider

him that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's dive straight in to today's

first story. Much love guys. Now today's first story comes from Flavor

Flocker who says am I the asshole for not giving my bio parents a real chance to make things right.

So before I talk about the dilemma, let me talk about my background. I'm 24. Grew up living in group

homes. If you don't know what a group home is, it's basically a smaller

orphanage. Living in a group home was rough. We generally weren't guaranteed meals and we shared

literally everything. So if we got no clothes, we had 10 other kids fighting over it. If we got

pizza, we had 10 kids fighting over it. When I was 11,

I became close with this kid from school. He invited me over to his house for a couple of sleepovers

and his parents would notice how much I was eating. I would completely pig out despite being

relatively skinny. There were a couple of other things that they noticed about how I

behaved that was very weird. They realized I was probably being underfed and decided to take

action. Eventually they took me in and I never looked back. So today, I'm 24 and I'm working a nice

desk job. I'm generally happy and I'm still close with my adopted

parents. My bare parents reached out to me two weeks ago and were relieved when I responded.

We ended up setting up a meeting yesterday. I was already quite hesitant to meet them but

only did it because my mum and dad said it could be worthwhile.

So we sat down and talked over lunch.

They told me they gave me up because they didn't want to be parents.

They were in their mid-20s and married.
