How I know this is AI: 1. This guy repeats the same sentences five times or more. 2. He's an absolute coward. 3. He's scared to talk to his dad (who literally wants to talk to him) 4. The story falls into thousands of literary cliches and tropes (main character falls into depression, they "build a new life that is theirs, they didn't like it but it is theirs," and a dad who is too stupid to realize stuff that's happening in his own home (as well as in his bank account). You could have said this in ONE SENTENCE, instead of wasting 30 minutes of our lives: My stepmother and stepsister plotted to cut me out of my dad's inheritance, so I moved out and struggled; my dad found out and divorced her and cut off ties with them. There. AI's quality is trash right now.

The dad had no idea and OP actively hurt his dad by ruining their relationship. OP disrespected the dad by taking away choices that were the dads to make, not OPs.

OP is to blame for their estrangement despite numerous attempts by the dad to reach out.

[@legacie7956]

2 things that I hated throughout this story. First was the repetition of several phrases, thoughts, etc. Really annoying and takes away from the actual update when you just repeat shit. Second thing is how the son never even gave his dad a chance to believe him. Dad has nothing to apologize for. "I'm sorry for not believing you sooner"? He didn't know anything because his son never actually spoke about it. Not to him anyway. Op practically abandoned his dad and left him to live with 2 leeches.

[@Here4Years]

If I had to describe OP in one word, it would be 'spineless'.

[@anastasiab5846]

OP: "I love my dad so I stopped talking to him, became miserable alone so I could cry about being a victim, left my dad to be abused/manipulated my my stepmom/stepsister, actively rejected my dad every time he wanted to talk, then finally told my dad when I literally had no other choice. Now that my dad is trying to catch up on lost time with me, I'm gonna call it him 'making amends,' even though he did literally nothing wrong and this is all my fault."

He should have opened his mouth in the beginning instead of acting like some b***h and ignoring everybody because of this. So not only is the second wife and the stepdaughter greedy so is the son. Opie is just as greedy as the rest of them. He basically cut his father off because of the inheritance that he think that he may not be able to get because of what the stepsister and the stepmother said.

That betrayal triggered hurt feelings and fears. It brought fear of losing his dad like he lost everything else. Did he handle it great? No. But trauma and emotional baggage doesn't always mean you make great decisions, especially when you're young. Its also easy to say what you would've done when you weren't there and going through what he went through.

Christ on a bike, OP's a doormat. Should have said something the _SECOND_ he heard the conversation! God _DAMN_

[@Vikashar]

I made a bet to not fart until OP grew a spine. Unfortunately I never got that blissful release and my face is turning green

[@d.k.channel5527]

OP brought this stressfull situation to himself

[@Spacemanct]

Another example of just talking to someone. His father in this story. If you just went up to your dad right after what you heard, you could have saved the whole year. You don't want to be an outcast to your father, so you just stopped talking to him. Becoming an outcast.

[@PKMKB93000]

OP is just stupid.

[@terrieBTSOT7]

AI If they wanted him out, they wouldn't sabotage his job search. Also, out of the house doesn't mean out of the will. "struggling enough to give up inheritance" doesn't even make sense

[@fiar6513]

This is one emotional dude.. 😂😂😂

[@Nilocapovilla]

Take a shot every time he says "inheritance". Great drinking game.

[@FrstSpctr88]

Wether this story is real or not, it is not impossible for man to feel like nothing, yet not wanting to damage his own father's happy marriage and the step family members being stupid, yet conspire to take all the wealth for themselves... People are not born equal, even in families where both parents are excellent in their lives, only for their child to be born with disability or weakness, because the genetic copying produced multiple bad copies of the genetic material, via the genetic lottery.

Who needs opps when you got yourself 🤦‍♂️

[@newperson1997]

i swear stepmothers/step families are the most entitled, narcissist, infuriating, brats. like why are they the rudest in every reddit story i listen to

[@WarfareMoment]

“It didn’t take a genius to figure out they were talking about me” got me💀😂😂

[@shellyfox863]

Inheritance is never a given. It would not have been my first concern in this situation. My father's safety would have been. He was the one being defrauded by Diane. So I would have told dad right out of the gate not caring about being believed or not. I would have at least given dad the tools to be on the lookout for his wifes motivations and to protect himself if things were to take a grim turn. This dude needed therapy over maybe getting cut of a will and having to grow a life which is a normal thing we do when we are young. Seriously.

[@kiralana324]

maybe it's because I've read / listed to enough of these posts, but if my bio-child moved out suddenly and without financial stability, that would be big red dancing flag number 1

[@beautifulstrange7057]

I know this is fake, but the OP deserves his inheritance to be taken from him for being such a coward.

[@okbye9]

Omg if he said “it’s not much” one more time I was going to scream! It went from a total soap opera to just annoying.

[@sabrinasspellbookspens5136]

Suffer in silence to the max. I hate to say it, but dad is the one who suffered the most here.

[@dennisthomas7624]

If I was him I would have recorded the conversation with his stepmom and stepsis

[@LaviniaKing-hz9ue]

--- Gesu, why isn't this man keeping in close contact with his dad? That's like falling into Diane and Megan plans to distance him from his dad. Grow up dude and grow a pair, OP is cutting off his nose to spite his face. Ignore the toxic duo and hang with your dad. Man, you need a psychiatrist not a counselor and some anti depression meds. I just don't like this wimpy man who avoids his dad because of his step family. GROW A PAIR !! GET ON SOME MEDS!! No sympathy for this man at all. Overheard his step family plotting against him. So what does this man do? Bails on his dad because: Boo hoo, they never liked me! My life is destroyed! Worse than the most melodramatic soap opera.

[@abhinav509]

ngl this story pissed me tf off, op is a bigger coward than the word coward itself

[@sarahmarie1986]

Bruh, your dad has to die for them to inherit anything. Why would he leave them alone with them!

[@JessyDupre]

How the heck was sabotaging OP's life and job search supposed to get him move out faster? They're not very smart at all.

[@conormac6293]

OP is responsible for all of the suffering hes going through. All it would have taken from the very start was just to be honest to his own father.
