Mom's Upset Cos I Refused To Bring Her Other Kids To Dad's Place To Enjoy Cos He's Done Enough~ AITA
Published at : October 02, 2021
My parents are divorced. It happened when I (16f) was 7 years old. I remember back then that money was bad, and I learned pretty soon after that my mom was terribly financially irresponsible. The cause for the divorce was she took out a secret credit card and racked-up debt behind my dad's back, and then when he found out, she refused to get help or get another job to pay off the debt (she has always had a thing for nice jewelry).
Life with my mom was very tough. We were homeless on her time and would go from place to place. My dad had temporary custody of me for a while until she found a place. But then she would overspend and miss rent so we moved around a crap ton. She met her husband when I was 9, and He had an 8 year old son and a 6 year old daughter. And Together, they were reeeally freaking bad with money.
My dad ended up with temporary custody of me again because they blew $10k on a wedding when they didn't even have 500 in savings combined, and had no help from family to pay. They had a baby while dealing with that debt, and then another after she got some more custody of me, and then they had a third.
So full time, they have five kids in the house, six with me. They are forced to move a lot, and because of their spending and the kids don't have a lot of stuff. I spend Fridays and Saturdays there once a month, and an occasional midweek dinner.
Story 1:
AITA for telling my mom I want to keep her from my dad when she asked why I don't try to integrate my step and half siblings into my life more?
Story 2:
WIBTA If I(30M) don't invite my Stepsiblings (19F, 20F, 23F & 25M) to my Vavation home
Story 3:
AITA For Giving Our Son's Saved Funds To Our God-daughter And Grandson?
Story 4:
AITA for restricting my daughter’s visitation time before her dad deploys?
