Obviously the Dad knew how horrible it can be. He wants to save these two kids from that trauma. Love his game plan for them. If they follow it, they will do great.

I’m glad people told him to calm tf down because the dad is doing his best and even supporting the mom! Momma going to community college is actually going to be a step up for them eventually.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

​@@sonialinsey8083I don't know why the f she's going to University to become a nurse. You can go to special nursing schools for that which are basically a trade school. And I don't think it's that difficult to get into. And it's an intensive 1-year program 12 hours a day sometimes a little more 5 days a week and then in a year you have your LPN. And then you start making a lot more money and then you can easily get your RN a few years later. That's what I did. We're in an extreme shortage of nurses so a lot of schools have lowered their admission standards just so there will be no more nurses in the working sector

[@lorddaegoth]

​@@WhitneyDahlin not sure where the OP is from but nursing schools aren't universal. In some places they're rare, in others they're non existent. They used to be a thing in my country but 20 or so years ago they were all shut down and its now covered by colleges or universities.

[@kingced741]

OP's dad is honestly the mvp right now. Got primary custody from his trash mother and then got custody from Tiffany's parent. Got child support from both of the parents that abandoned their children and grand child at the same time is installing values in both of them while fixing em up for the future Edit: OP dad changed from MVP to walking W

[@juliearmfield2634]

Oh yeah he definitely is.

[@SailorMya]

Yeah, if their trash parents had their way Tiff and OP would probably resent each other after being forced to marry and wouldn't get the educational support they needed, landing them in dead-end jobs. They are lucky to have OP's dad in their lives!

Now not only is his son thriving, but so is his daughter in law and grand daughter. This man is father of the century! OPs mom and his girlfriends parents should be ashamed of themselves.

Together or separately but in their own time and to make their own choices, in their own time. And now he is in a happy relationship too with marriage and another baby. This man! ❤❤❤ Then they are getting therapy, going to trade school and college, they have a home they will buy. This is how we break cycles. This is how we create happy functioning families. I love this so much. I have shed a whole lot of happy tears. I cannot wait for more happy updates.

[@themayhemofmadness7038]

Yeah, getting married just for the sake of kids is never a good idea. Had they been forced to marry at 16, chances are good that they’d have divorced and ended up hating each. Glad things are working out and they were/are able to go slow and figure things out together on their own time line. That dad is truly awesome as well and so glad that he found a good love himself. And that OP likes her and is happy to be a big brother. I just hope OP makes it through the next two weeks!!! 😂

Yea, while the dad is awesome, I'm especially impressed with OP as well. He's kicked out by mum, has to be a dad at 16, works and studies 12+ hours, lives with his ex... and instead of giving up making drama like a teenager he realized it's best to stay together longer so ex can get a degree, and then thanked the dad for taking care of them so well. He said at some point he is not a good communicator (well, who is at 18...) and tries to become better with therapy. He sounds so mature and pleasant to be around, for an 18 year old. Glad they ended up being a couple again and they all become a happy family together.

Yeah, this is a tough one. If both of them don’t really have much support, (forced marriage and parental abandonment). Then it’s just down to the 2 of them. If one of them goes to college, then the other will have to sacrifice a lot more in the short run for childcare. So I understand the resentment towards the other in that scenario. But I also understand wanting to go to college so that they can get a better life in the long run. There’s no good scenario here. It’s going to get worse than better. OP isn’t angry at her, just scared because he’s still a kid and has so much responsibility already, more than most adults. And is now about to have even more put on top of him. Edit: At least between the 2 of them, they have 1 parent. Shout out to OP’s dad for doing everything that’s he’s doing. And I’m glad they’ve gotten into a better situation.

[@justaperson4656]

Idk, sacrifice there feels like it would have long term impacts.

I am 71. I forgot all about wooden swords till you shared your own childhood. WE, my brother, sister, and I, made wooden swords too. Nobody ever gave a second thought to bruises or smashed fingers, especally not me as I was the baby. 😂
