If he's old enough tp be left at home on his own he's old enough to choose where he wants to live

[@jamesalvisii8491]

He made a right choice to cut ties from his own mother and start a new life

[@cassandraleis4162]

Alex's mother has no one but herself to blame for neglecting him

[@shadowdog_dogchase4187]

You were in school and they left you home alone for a week and she didn’t get arrested for child neglect or child abandonment, child abuse!! That’s messed up

[@marvenlunn6086]

Think about it he was driving a car, not that the neglect for 2 years and leaving him behind wasn't wrong

[@RJ-sb5qr]

I agree, but if he's old enough to drive himself to his dad's house, he's old enough to be left on his own. His mother will be punished many times over for her decisions.

[@jamesalvisii8491]

Very messed up

[@helenconnor3714]

I disagree. In most places in the US a child can drive at 16. While a sixteen year old might be able to stay on their own for a night or 2...they can also make very stupid decisions and get into trouble. After are, they are a child, their brain is NOT fully developed and are generally making decisions based on impulses and emotion. Another couple years bring so much more maturity...still not fully mature even at 18, lol. But technically an adult, that hopefully you raised to stop and think and even discuss with their parents or other adults before acting on them.

[@robertnoble6661]

In the original story the son was already 16yrs old and in the US it's allowed to leave 16 years old children home alone.

[@NormanStock-su2ql]

Missed the part where Jake learned that Op's mom threw her son under the bus blaming him because she didn't want his elderly mother in the house and Jack listened to her not talking to Op she admitted that she lied and this is the reason why Jake and his sons treated Op so bad. Jake wrote an email apologizing his behavior and said he only listened to Op's mom. And yes if Op is only 16 then the mother could have been charged with abandonment by leaving him alone to go on vacation. Op was very much in his right to go back to his dad's house.

[@smsff7]

Both the mom and stepdad are AHs I hate it when a parent ditches a child after divorce so they can have their do-over family.

[@robertnoble6661]

In the original story, the mom manipulated the step dad to hate her son because she used him as escape goat for not taking in the step dads dying mom, the step dad believe her so he had disdain for the son, he found out in the end then divorced her apologized to the son then move on with his life.

[@smsff7]

@@robertnoble6661 I know, but it still did not save him from being an AH. He never once spoke to OP about it and was just passive aggressive over what someone else told him.

[@Cadillac61]

Amazing! Not one comment about what a great dad he has and how necessary it is to have a father and better yet…..live with him.

[@lightninggaming016]

All facts

[@DeirdreKing111]

You were lucky to have had a good Dad though.

[@NOs-1991]

His mother chose to leave her own child behind, & he had the right to cut all ties with his pathetic excuse of a mother

[@fiyahquacker2835]

I'd just leave the house unlocked as I left.

[@xandan1668]

Naaaah wreck the place!!!

[@mandalorethemaximum1408]

Probably did, considering it was robbed.

[@justanotherwhitegirla7093]

I would have left all the lights on and water running to run up the bills.

[@jharris3267]

Watch the house? Where is it going? Why did he need to be left behind? They need a week? Who are you kidding you’re having fun at the lake. Who needs to go school? All of the kids do, but they get a vacation and he needs to watch the house? She actually said the house was robbed why weren’t you there instead of thank god you weren’t here the house was robbed and we didn’t see you. Yeah she’s checked out!

[@bravobr9725]

I don't care who you marry after a divorce, but the one thing you NEVER do is ignore or abandon your own child for someone else's bratty kids ! Also you don't have the right to blame them for anything that happens, when you damn well know your so called new family are ignoring him.

[@brianhill1818]

Remember hearing about a similar story on a reddit story post channel if it was your inspiration for this video the way you portrayed it is very respectful to the source and is both admirable and appreciated

[@kpinfulleffect]

Yes, I also heard that similar story.

[@FeleciaWhipple77]

Alex never should have called his mother. She never defended him or tried to include him in her new family. As soon, as he found that letter, he should have responded with "Fine." Then blocked their numbers and just left. He didn't need to call his mom. She cares more about her new family than her own son. If anyone was selfish it was her.

[@Keiji555]

Jake wasn't upset with the OP's mom because of the robbery or her neglect. The fact that it was his handwriting meant that he was the true mastermind behind the entire thing. He was just angry that he lost out on a free housesitter and everything. He allowed it to happen, and openly encouraged it. He's just angry he got caught, and it might affect his life. So he cut ties and ran.

[@TraciPeteyforlife]

True words.

[@phyniseconner2011]

No...he said that he found out she had been lying to her husband about her son. He wrote the letter based on what his wife was telling him. She was the master manipulator here.

[@Keiji555]

@@phyniseconner2011 But he willingly was party to it, and encouraged it. Manipulated or not, he could have approached and asked the OP, if he wanted to go or not. He could have also scolded his own kids over the bullying and everything.

[@georgeprice4212]

Absolutely. It happened to me, in 2004…I have not spoken to my mom’s side of the family since her passing in 2006. I never felt welcome at my uncle’s house ever…even as a kid.

[@toddharms4740]

One would think upon hearing the house was broken into, the first thing that SHOULD have crossed the mother’s mind was the welfare of her son. Had the robbers hurt him? Had they killed him? Had they taken him? The fact she never asked these questions is very telling.

[@c.jillallen-hood4685]

The mental health and safety is the first concern of a parent, period. Not her libido. More importantly than an unhealthy marriage was the health and welfare of my son, whom.I chose to raise with the help of my parents and siblings in the face of adversity. My son is now single with no children and takes care of me. We live independent of each other but close enough if we need each other in any capacity. If anyone messes with either of us, you best believe that will be their worst nightmare!😂

[@Fake_secularism]

I don't understand, Jake didn't knew all this? Story potrait that Jake and his sons started this and OPs mom tagged along.

[@LordDiscord]

Yeah that confused me aswell. Why would Jake care and divorce the mom, the story made it out that he did not care, if anything this should have been a win for him

[@nataliereeves3594]

Probably needed an excuse because their slave was no longer available.

[@empressariyana4501]

this was inspired by a reddit thread. originally the mom lied about her son being a problem child so her new husband wouldn't move his sick mother in with them. she really painted her son out to be an asshole and her husband and step kids believed her. Once the truth came to light everyone left her and cut ties.

[@Keiji555]

@@empressariyana4501 That explains a lot more about the situation. Still doesn't explain why Jake was such an idiot. If he was a problem child, he would have flipped out when his kids harassed him.

[@Wizardbane-ev9zk]

The scary thing when watching this it was like watching my own life all over again from when i was a teenager.. I walked away and cut ties. I had to believe in myself and love with the family that loved me. It hurt but i was not some toy to be used for money and be a in home slave . To be left behind as i did everything and my step parent with two daughters could do no wrong and i was blamed being the only boy in the house. When they left to yellow stone for a 3wk vacation and i was banned from going for getting s C+ in math.. I knew finally i had to thing of me after 3yrs . I packed and left to go to my Dad in the next town 65miles away. My dad filed for full custody. the hurt was then Mom came back.. No call, No Letter, No showed in court..i was 14yrs only..

[@BronzeDragon133]

Good for you. In my case, I was the only child of parents who, bluntly, would have been better off childless. In my case, the golden child was my cousin (who ended up being a d abusing drinker who never really had a job but that's another story) with me as the scapegoat. I never did anything right or, if it was too flawless to criticize, I had to exceed it next time. They really didn't seem to get why I grew up, got out, and didn't look back. Shrug. Dad's dead, Mom's senile, and it's supposed to be my problem. I intend on investing as much care in the issue as they did in me.

[@LaKellita1]

This was on Facebook as one of those AITA stories

[@ask-128]

I think the mother was more interested in the child support not her son

[@matttillman7430]

Everybody has a right to reject me. I intend to only ever let anyone reject me once, because I'll never extend my hand a second time where I'm not wanted.

[@lightninggaming016]

Same same

[@rowan5335]

They could have easily gone when he was staying for the month When he stayed at his dad's so they wanted him to know that he didn't matter

[@kopawhite1399]

Ok I'm surprise Jake (the stepdad) is more reasonable than then the mother

[@mackenziekita9920]

That is messed up, I can’t imagine leaving my son out of ANY vacation. If someone I was seeing legitimately did that without me knowing but finding out MY son was not going but THEIR’S is?! I would literally make him go through hell and back by the time I’m through with his sorry a$$. I’d rather be single than deal with a$$holery like that. That’s putting a child through emotional abuse and clearly shows how much the step dad does not care for his step child except his own children.

[@tracygardner6318]

I feel sorry for Opie. His mom needs to realize he’s also her son her first son and not neglect him for her new freaking family. When the families merge you were they don’t get along you don’t treat them like they don’t belong.

[@RobertBoring]

If my mom had treated me like that I would have been out of there so fast her head would be spinning.

[@anacheah8981]

The story from another YT account is the mother actually the culprit. She lied to the step dad & his sons that the son doesn't like them while he actually tried to get along with them. She was the actual liar.

[@phyniseconner2011]

Now this was a twister - turns out Step Daddy Jake didn't know his wife was the one leaving her son out & lying about it. She was so busy trying to suck up to her hubby & his kids she sacrificed the relationship with her own child...& led to her husband resenting her & leaving her for it. 😂

[@denisephillips9588]

My sperm donor was like Alex's mom but the thing with my sperm donor is that he was never around us kids for every long. So it was easy to cut him out of our lives even after he killed himself.

[@bubblsbubbls3243]

Yes absolutely because there is no reason to be in a place or with people who make you feel like shit no matter who it is!

[@godssalvation87]

The mother had some mental issue she have to address to abandon her son just to get away from her pass.

[@aaronharr3295]

I’m in my fifties I still thing I’m a ghost to my sister. I have a dad that well he’s never shown love . As a kid he told me you know I love you right. That was it I have half siblings that barely know me. I’m divorced. I’m single been that way for twenty years. My mother loves me but I feel I’m just extra baggage. I long for lasting friendships long for just being loved. I guess I’m dramatic. I don’t tend to be.

[@BronzeDragon133]

That's. Not. Dramatic. It sounds like a horrible family dynamic all around that got repeated and didn't work for you, either. It can take an enormous amount of work to break out of that, and sometimes some good assistance.

[@aaronharr3295]

I’m going to have to have a loong talk with everybody

[@jnicoulakos]

This is an incomplete version of a story that I heard before. There was more to it, The step dad actually connected with him and said that he was told that he didn't like him or his mother who was sick. Op Was also told that he told his kids not to treat him well.

[@houseofproctor]

On Reddit. Yes sir. Correct and then it was discovered mom lied because she didn’t want to take care of stepdads mom and they got divorced

[@jnicoulakos]

@@houseofproctor Correct. THe mom is a peace of work!

[@warrentreadwelljr.treadwel2694]

Alex is old enough to drive and has his own car. So, yes, he is old enough to determine his own future heading to age 18.

[@TheDeadCobraTheDeadCobra]

If you have terrible family abandon them

[@cobberjoy]

if son had stayed he may have been killed

[@ydcee3123]

Story is out of sequence. Telling the story then bouncing back to certain parts already covered. He called his mother. Explain in detail and don't go back to it.

[@TraciPeteyforlife]

It is more than correct to cut ties. When the people in your life are unhealthy.

[@jakerocinante1133]

When they left him I would have reacted differently. Basically the house would have been looted and burned when they came back

[@ericoxner326]

I just wonder where are the grandparents?!!My grand parents would have tore my mother not a new one.But sevel new ones!!!! Oddly this mother is gonna wonder why she does not see her grandkids!!!

[@ask-128]

the mother is not very responsible..fine to leave someone behind...but why not communicate...not very respectable but very toxic...the mother has given up on her own son..

[@judymetzger7387]

I can't believe she's upset because he wasn't in the house when it was robbed. Any normal good mother would be going thank God my son wasn't here when we were robbed. My, to her would be egg donor enjoy your new family. And that would be the last time she talked to me.

[@rowan5335]

I have cut ties w/my 4 siblings and I don't miss them. I protected them as their big sister and they even remember and tell people. But to me they have always been horrible sisters. They have no redeeming qualities and I can't believe we're related. If I never see them again it will be 2 soon. I wanted to be close but they were lying bitches from the age of 2😮

[@petervaczovsky9211]

His step-father and mother didn't love him or even want him so why should he stay?

[@christopherburch1762]

So it was Alex’s mom who left him behind not his stepdad.

[@marlanarsi2590]

Your mum will find another bf and family...there no point him going back to mum and soon he will be at uni and have his own place ...so the mum blew her chance of having a son. But that doesn't mean you can't call and do visits 😊

[@peachesshelton954]

Yes it is

[@ladyofthemasque]

You have to correct them ASAP or they will keep doing it, because they will assume they have parental permission...and parents who DON'T speak up ARE SETTING THE EXAMPLE THAT IT'S "OKAY" TO BE CRUEL TO ONE OF THE CHILDREN. What kind of effect up mindset is THAT??

[@kamialexz]

5:18 he called his dad twice to move in with him? 💀 fix Y’all stories man

[@pfalky2k]

Absolutely. Love and Respect are Earned. NEVER due. & no one has the "Right" to lay claim to you simply because of a biological event YOU had no part or say in. Family is made in Life, NOT in a bed. If your "family" betray your Trust, then they are not family. simply beasts that rutted & spawned you. Your Family may be the Close Friends - "Brother from another mother" type set up, who have Hard-Earned your Love, Loyalty & Trust - often through fire & water. They may be the Family you have CHOSEN through their own Good Faith. NOT some accidental blood-bond to a group of people who neglect, betray, ill-treat, misuse or abuse you because "I'm your parent. I can do anything I want to you. I gave you life - you OWE me..." horseshit. You "owe" your parents, siblings etc ONLY as much as they gave you in your life. You owe NOBODY! a damn thing for simply being born. You did not ask for it. You had no choice or say in it. Existence was foisted & forced upon you whether you wished it or no. Your parents OWE YOU the needs, raising, choices & opportunities that SHOULD come with existing.

[@stephaniecherry9136]

Yes because it's a mental strain. No I never went through this before however because emotional baggage because you just not fitting in the family. To me it's unfair to live like that.

[@tzarius78]

Lake sound?

[@gigadrill0000]

This creator skipped an important part of the story. The reason the stepfather and step kids treated op so badly is because his mother was telling them lies about op. She kept telling them that he was bad mouthing not only the 3 of them but her too. She told them he was a poor student and bullied other kids and that he was always in trouble at school. Once the custody case started she confessed she lied to her husband and that is why he decided to divorce her. He told op what his mother had been saying and doing and apologized to op.
