Congratulations Dave ( guy in the first story ) , you lost your ex-wife because you weren’t trying to be a parent , you lost OP because you would let your psychotic son whatever he wanted and when someone tried to discipline him , you would defend him , you lost your third relationship again because of your son , and now you lost your son because you weren’t paying attention to him .

Reddit is full of people who fabricate and exaggerate other's behaviors towards them while minimizing their own negative contributions to the situation with which they're involved in order to garner sympathy and affirmation from their audience. Basic social desirability is part of the human condition. Many people don't want even total strangers to hold a negative opinion of them so they will omit key information if it makes their version of the story sound more plausible. There's nothing wrong with asking questions for clarity. Simple minds believe anything they hear... Critical thinkers will smell BS no matter how much perfume is sprayed on it.

But there's a time and place for that, and he should've been able to switch between the two at appropriate times, i.e. the wedding night. Hell, I'll even go one step further and use the 'friend first, parent second' mentality to make a point. His 'friend' is talking trash to his wife. His 'friend' spoke lies about his wife the night he was going to get married to her. His 'friend' stabbed his wife after numerous threats made to harm her. The fact Dave didn't do a single damn thing to defend his wife from his 'friend' speaks volumes of who he is as a human.

[@vegaaltair8478]

Y'know at the rate that the Story 1 is going, Avery will meet his ugly end in one way or another while bumping into a lot of trouble in the process if things keep going like that, with no way to help him mentally. He is such an extremely dangerous individual, and the biggest blame falls to his father who just plainly ignore those red flags rather than helping him get the serious theraphy, and just kept OP captive in abusive environment for so long.

[@ravenralph123]

Story 1: It is sad for any parent to loose a child but only the Father is to blame here because of the lack of discipline and guidance. As that Dave guy is so irresponsible as a parent treating his child Avery like a friend and didn't accept whatever discipline Avery gets from her mother Diana and the OP gave but Dave let is pass without any punishment to Avery. Thus Avery turned into a spoiled, hideous and violent being who literally tried to kill the OP and probably the new girl his dad is dating.

It will be hard to achieve any reconciliation at this point.

First story: That kid was an awful human being, but he had issues and really needed therapy. I mostly blame the dad. He tried to be his friend rather than a parent. My mum is honestly more laid back and more of a friend to me. But she is ALWAYS a mother. Whenever I do something wrong she tells me and we probably more have a friend situation because we are very close and is a mother and best friend to me. It might be wierd think what you want but It’s great and I’m really lucky. If you want to have that relationship with the kid you always have to have a certain amount of parenting level especially if you’re basically raising him alone. He was neglectful and was barely there. And his “angel” was the false perception of him he saw because he barely knew him and let him do what ever he wanted even when he turned out to be an abusive thug psychopath. This is the worst type of parenting, never raising the kid and let them do what they want and make issues they already have worse to the point they become a psychopath. I just hope people know that

[@xboxoneyes7734]

Yeah You're really lucky ngl,since trying to only be the kids friends This happens or you can raise an man who thinks their Entitled to everything and throws a fit when they receive a No for an answer,Try to be Only his Parents can lead to some Extreme cases of parental abuse(Ignoring the kids complains,Severely punish them for every little wrong doing,forbid them from going out because you dont trust their friends,Etc),So you quite lucky that your mother tries her best to be both,since thats probably the best way to go when youre a parent Also i agree with you,Even tho you want to be a Relationship with your kid,You cant just neglect your Obligations as a Parent to discipline your child and trach what they can and cant do(Dont over do it tho,your raising a kid,not a slave),And if most people knew where to draw the line,i think Our society would be much nicer to live on

[@QuickManEXE]

Story 1: OP should've never EVER married that Dave. His son Avery was an absolute demon and I can't really say it's a big loss on his death too. The whole part with the cat shouldve told the OP to get out of there right then, especially if Dave did nothing about it. This is a big reason why parents need to be parents first and not "friends" to their kids. Story 2: Kind of gave up on a good thing there, and didn't realize it until it was gone.....dont know if he's a jerk or not, but rather dumb. Story 3: I dont think OP or Jane are jerks, but both couldve been better overall. OP shouldn't have said that, and Jane didn't need that kind of re-action overall.

I think the problems with story 2 would've been completely avoided if OP had just spoken to his wife about it in the first place.

[@lilithlux8127]

First story: I don't feel bad for Avery. His actions and the way he was is why he is dead. The women in his father's life are lucky he offed himself before he could kill them.

[@annemariebell6970]

Why didn't Avery ever get any PSYCHIATRIC HELP?

[@Peterlustig-um3bk]

Why didnt she go to the police. And asking how to divorce on reddit when you clearly have internet access i weird

[@hells_paradise_]

in first story when she tell a small kid that i wasnt his mom and iam not going to act like mom he knew she would be a horrible person because who can told a small kid that

[@chickenheadtyler5760]

Man, im really sad for the op in story 2.

[@dragohogo2323]

Dear children, that's why you should send your child to the psychologist after a breakup, even if it seems like they don't have anything for 4 months, just to be safe or a year but that the father or never said anything is really disturbing wanting to be friends with your kid is stupid because it's your kid, not some drinking buddy

[@Panwere36]

In Story 1, "Avery" obviously was a misogynistic sociopath who was obviously eventually going to become a serial killer.

[@NuNu_T09]

Story 1: After the poster: Dave: *gets another wife* aww come on Avery you stabbed and actually killed my wife this time, guess I’ll need to get a new one 😂

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Story 1: Damn! Talk about a horrible person *"Avery"* is! Unfortunately, his father is also horrible for allowing Avery to treat OP like shit. No one in their right mind would tolerate that kind of horrific treatment.

[@jankokol9817]

Story 1: I find is so ironic that while the OP is asking whether or not she is the jerk, almost everyone else in this story can be categorized as a jerk (the husband Dave, the piece of garbage stepson, the people that were immediately against her because of the brat's wedding speech, the animal shelter that killed her cat, or the Reddit people that automatically assumed that she made the story up for Karma). The only good people in this story is the ex-wife Diana, the OP's sister, and some of the people who did not trust the little punk Avery because of his BS speech. I am just glad that she got out of there alive and is safe now - a bit later than recommended but still good. When it comes to the death of that little bastard, that was the best situation that could have come. Screw that little turd and screw the dad for not teaching him how to at least somewhat behave like a normal and respectable human being. It is sad that Diana lost her child, however, if given enough time, I am pretty sure that Avery would have become so mad at his mom for divorcing his dad that he would have tried to kill (or at least harm her) her as well. It is just too bad that his death couldn't have been longer and more painful.

[@bigboymalloy2261]

Honestly, like i have no guilt, shame, or anything else in saying im 100% happy that little piece of shit died, i mean he deserved it and honestly the dad deserved it also because hes just as bad as the kid, they both shouldve taken a nice little vacation off a cliff

[@Chunks4929]

You can call police for the stolen cat and dead cat… Dear god That’s too far for a cat

[@catsarelit5305]

Me when the title said stab: weirdo Me when the title said kill and cat : THAT IS TOO FAR

[@kingofgreed1992]

Media has made it really easy to vilify stepmothers

[@teganweatherill1615]

Always love your pet cats I have three of them, my world would fall apart if that were to happen to them

[@Valhalla999]

1st story the father is a horrible parent he failed to protect his partner and get his son the help he needs and the fact the cops did so little is disappointing even though the son premeditated and attempted murder gave multiple death threats, got caught trying to steal a gun and very little was done...

[@WTC-1990]

Story 1: If that's my son, he's a bad egg and doesn't deserve to live

[@jam1494]

Am I an asshole for my honest first thoughts to hearing that Avery person in story 1 being dead was "good riddance?"

[@CreatingArt3185]

A person no matter how young or old taking their own life no matter what they have done is never ever a good thing yes the dad was the other jerk in the situation but a parent should NEVER have to bury their child

[@Chunks4929]

KILLED HER CAT?!?!?! Dear god! Both the guy and dad are devils

[@ThePsychoAsian]

Kid in the first story has fucking issues dear god, all because of his enabling dad. I’m so glad op eventually got out of that situation

[@antoniocarlosoliveira9146]

Well , karma got to him , but in the worst way possible.

[@agonistes06]

that son killed your cat. good reason to prevent his college.

[@R3dKill3rFox]

Story 1:I think it was all of them I can understand why the son was mad cuz the mom was upfront like im not your mom i barely care about you but that does not give him the right to do all the things he did on the other hand the father did nothing about what the son did partially causing the divorce

[@awolfnamedneedle237]

Honestly I think Diana, the mother had something to do with it, it's very easy for divorced couples to make their kids think they hate the other parent, and hate their stepmom.
