Mom Asks The Internet If She’s A Jerk For Abandoning Stepson And Husband At His Sister’s Wedding After Stepson Pulls A Cruel Prank On Cancer Survivor Daughter

You have to be a very special kind of PoS to act like that, even laugh about it.

I would've left him with his disgusting family (birds of a feather) got my kid home and packed the car and left. Then I would've ONLY went back for my stuff and what the judge awarded me. This is just gross. Teasing is one thing my kids tease eachother about everything, you know what they WOULD NEVER tease about? An injury or illness. My son would've taken his sister shopping for a wig and would probably would try to pummel anyone that laughed at her. (not advocating violence he's just fiercely protective of her) Please get out and give your daughter and yourself the life you deserve. Find a caring and gentle man who raised kind and gentle kids.

What a toxic, bullying family. Why are you with this guy? Why are you letting this young man be in the same house as your daughter? He's not only bullying her peeping on her to take and post photos of her when she's vulnerable. That's horrific; she should be able to have privacy and safety in her own home. Then he publicly humiliates her. And your husband clearly takes his side. You need to stand up for your daughter, and leave. Remember that you are modeling relationships for her. Teach her that the two of you are strong, independent women, who don't deserve or accept that kind of disrespect and cruelty. Securely single is better than in living in an abusive relationship.

Even if she wasn't a cancer survivor, the bullying is unacceptable. They are amused by her pain, that is so terrible.

Ben is despicable bully, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I had a step brother who tormented me- called me names, tried to tell people I was his "slave" (he even called me "peaches" as my slave name). Then when I had a falling out with my father (he didn't care one bit), he told our whole school (and my father) that I was pregnant my senior year (I'd moved in with my grandmother by that point). I was humiliated. I already had low self esteem and I was actually still a virgin. After my step mom passed away, I stopped speaking to him. I have no idea where he is or what he's doing, though I heard he wanted to reach out to me. Apparently he's changed, but I have no desire to speak to him. He was an a*****e to me and the things he spread about me were atrocious. He can go to hell

Normally these stories feel pretty one-sided, but I'm struggling to envision any version of this story that is redeeming for the stepfather or stepson. They seem like world-class scum. I feel horrible for your daughter. To go through so much and have people make it worse on purpose is just unimaginably cruel. Please leave this man for the sake of your child.

You’re a particular brand of horse excrement if you poke fun any anyone tough enough and brave enough to combat and whoop cancer butt. Not only was it NOT poking fun but mom did the right thing. I would have made the pit stop to change the locks, packed up the sons things and placed them at the curb, and when these two braying jackasses got upset? I would simply have unlocked the door and said ohhh it’s in fun. Like it much ****h?

I'm someone who gives a second chance but in half... Like half a second chance. I'd be divorcing this husband the second he dismissed the daughter being bullied by his son. There's no second chances regarding children being hurt. It baffles me. At the first hint of something being wrong i remove myself out of the situation the best i can or if can't literally leave, wait it out and take the first chance out, no looking back. If they promise to change it's already over. You can say it but will you actually do it? It shouldn't have happened in the first place

F*** her husband and F*** his stupid son, too.

If you stay with him, you get what you get. For your daughter's sake, I hope you leave. He and his son are not good people.

OMG f*****g shitty people!!!!!! excuse my French, but I have no other words for this behavior

Kids teasing each other? 18 is not a kid, it's a legal adult! Then again, judging by the husband's reaction, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Why is she still communicating with these people? This made my blood boil >

LEAVE THAT F*****G INSENSITIVE MAN AND HIS IMMATURE SON!

There is only one victim in this and it's the daughter. When the mom refuses to leave the step-dad and step-son, she becomes complicit in the abuses. All the abuses. What else does the (adult) step-son do for fun? Start fires? Abuse, torture or kill neighborhood animals? Sounds like psychopath.

Take your daughter and make sure she knows your thankful she survived the hell she's gone through. Divorce that heartless human and never look back. Build a new life on a new beginning with her. Maybe her self esteem is so broken because of the things she's told that no one else hears from both father & son. No soul should ever treat another this way. This is not sibling bonding or any other b******t this is a disturbed individual raising and instilling mindsets on another. RUN.

DIVORCE ASAP

he humiliated her at a big event and many people thought it was funny? Poor kid must have been mortified. Every single person who laughed is an a*****e.

how do people come to think cancer and the treatment of it is a thing to make fun about? if someone would have done this to my fiance i would have beaten the living hell out of that POS. The Husband is really a douche for letting his son treat that poor girl that way and even a bigger one for joining in on the laughter. i can't imagine how that poor girl must have felt. i feel bad for her, it saddens me that people think that its "harmless teasing". its a freckin deadly illness.

Kick them both out and divorce your husband immediately. If you don't and allow them to continue to bully your daughter then you will end up losing her because she won't want anything to do with her mother because you didn't protect her.

After the mom purchased the wig, and the two guys laughed at it, I would have noped her out of needed to go to the wedding. If this was the behavior prior to the day, is it really a quantum leap that the a**wipe wouldn't do things to her? He took pictures of her to post and degrade her. A wedding is not a required event if the bridal party wasn't her blood relative, her presence wasn't critical, so she should have been allowed to sit it out and at 16, could be left home. I wonder why the bride/groom didn't reprimand the 'kid' and dad for causing 'drama' on their day. VERY rude and is not the time/day for such assinine pranks. As a parent of a grown man, I would have let him know how this was totally uncalled for and to leave, being she left already, would have found someone to get them the h**l out of event. No doubt ruined the moments following.

As a cancer patient (losing hair soon it looks like) and a man who grew up with this kind of teasing, yea, I think I could handle it... Now that I'm in my 30's. At 16? That would have scarred me for life. This is already miserable enough without caring about my looks anymore. No one, regardless of their age or relation, has the right to take the dignity of another person. This isn't about cancer, just basic decency.

I do believe in karma. This father and son just laughed at this. They don't realize the impact it takes to literally HAVE cancer and beat all the odds to survive and not DIE. And they take it like a grain of salt. I don't know what their future is, but I do know life will catch up with them, maybe not cancer, but anything else that will make them suffer the same anguish this poor girl has been growing through.

File a police report for battery. Get therapy for yourself and daughter. Divorce
