I regret never calling him dad

I'm 18 I am not attracted to the same gender but I wanted to confess something without

want to submit your own stories go to the r slash okay story time subreddit

i'm angie i'm riley i'm keon and we're here to give good advice goofily but we don't have all the

answers we just know what we would do in this situation so let us know what you would do in the

comments so op says i was a foster kid since i was a toddler when i was nine i met my new half

brother and sister they were babies and they were fostered out to two men. I went over a couple of times, and one time, one of them, dad, number one, asked me what my deal was. What's your deal, kid? What's the deal? What's going on with you? Deal or no deal, kid? I was a defensive kid, and I said, what's it got to do with you?

He said, no wonder you don't have a home. Oh, my God. What? Well, we're starting off pretty intense. That's terrible. This is macho v. macho right now. There's something you, like, think to yourself, maybe. Is there, like, either inside thoughts or, like, you got to be really cool with each other to make jokes like that. but you just adopted this nine-year-old and now you're fighting.

Hey, you know what? This show is the nine-year-old's tough. Yeah, this nine-year-old has been around the block. That's when I started giving him a hug. Yeah, exactly. I remember wanting to hit him, but he put his arms around me and kept me there until I stopped. Interesting.

I remember him saying, I think you're a good kid in a bad spot. I called him bad word, and he said he liked me even more.

Is this kid a kid, or is this like a grown man?

The social worker and my temporary foster parents had a chat with me not long after. Apparently, men were going to foster me they showed me around my new home and then dad number one took me out to play and i remember him telling me that i'm a bad word but that this will always be my home oh you little crap i love you i never had a home and just thought it was another false promise.
