Welcome to R. slash Am I the But Hole where OP gets revenge against his abusive parents.

Am I the But Hole for potentially being the reason that my father and his wife can't adopt or foster?

So my father and his wife can't adopt or foster. So my father and his wife are unable to have kids together.

My father has me, a 16 year old boy from his marriage to my mom, which ended because he cheated on her with his now wife.

My mom found out about the affair when I was seven, and my mom left him immediately.

I split time with both of them, unfortunately, which meant that I was around my father and his wife a lot, and she tried to be a second mom to me, which I think was scummy after she knowingly slept with a married man.

She was also dating my dad's best friend at the time, too.

My mom died when I was 12.

Then I had to live with my father and his wife,

and I had no escape from them.

They tried to make me forgive them and let go of what happened and they did a bunch of therapy

with me.

But I always told them that I would stop speaking to him as soon as I turned 18.

They found out three years ago that they couldn't have kids together,

and almost two years ago, they started their process to adopt a baby from foster care.

During this process, I got interviewed. I was asked questions about

my relationship with my parents. When they said, my parents, I corrected them and told them that she was not

my parent, and he was only my parent because of blood.

They asked me how I would feel about a sibling and I told them I would have nothing to do with

one and I was planning to move and never speak to my father again once I turned 18.

The social worker looked kind of alarmed by that.

She asked me about my father's family and I said that they disowned him after he cheated and so did all of his friends.
