Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories.

And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider?

I think that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too.

And let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love, guys.

Now, today's first story comes from Human Dog 1732 and it says, am I the asshole for ruining family therapy?

My 18 female mum died when I was seven. My father, aka step-siblings dad, remarried a year later. His new wife had three kids. A, eight male,

B, six male, C, three female. He said she wanted a dad for her kids and he wanted a mum for me.

I remember telling him that I didn't want a new mom. He said I would understand later.

My step-siblings dad basically stopped doing anything alone with me.

No more camping nights in the backyard or movie nights, which we had done every week for years.

Nothing.

He spent time with all his new kids to bond.

It's been 11 years and he still doesn't have time for me

because he's bonding with them. He stopped coming to my games when I got to high school.

His wife and I have nothing in common. I play three sports and I'm on the speech team. She's very

girly and likes girl trips to buy clothes and make-ups at different

malls. She knows I don't want to go, but just tells my step-siblings dad that she invited me.

I have a teammate I play two sports with. Her parents have become like my own. She said she is

totally fine with it. I make sure all the time because I don't want to take someone else's parents.

She's always the one to invite me over, bring her parents to my swim meets because she knows no one will be there for me.

Invited me to go shopping for mothers and father's day gifts and says they're both from us.
