A stepdad’s decision to refuse to pay for his stepdaughter’s wedding has sparked a heated debate on the internet. The story, shared on Reddit’s “Am I the A-Gap” forum, details the stepdad’s strained relationship with his wife’s daughter, Kelly. Despite years of tension between them, the stepdad made a controversial statement when Kelly asked him to fund her wedding.
In a bold move, the stepdad told Kelly to have her “dead dad” pay for the wedding instead, leading to a heated argument and hurtful words exchanged. While the stepdad admitted to being “petty” and questioned if he went too far, he expressed no intention of apologizing and even stated that he would prefer if Kelly never spoke to him again.
The Reddit community was divided in their reactions to the stepdad’s actions. Some users supported his decision, citing Kelly’s behavior and the strained relationship between them. Others criticized him for bringing up Kelly’s deceased father in a hurtful manner, calling his actions immature and hurtful.
Ultimately, the story serves as a reminder of the complexities of blended families and the challenges that can arise in relationships between stepparents and stepchildren. The debate continues on whether the stepdad was justified in his response or if he crossed a line with his comments.
