Dad Turns Son’s Room Into Stepdaughter’s Nursery Despite ‘No’, Gets Kicked Out With Cops’ Help

47

Some people have this twisted ideology that just because they’re family, they can act as entitled as they want without facing any consequences. What these people fail to realize is that when karma comes knocking, none of their vicious deeds are spared.

Just look at the original poster’s (OP) father, whose persistently wicked behavior got the better of him when his son decided to kick him out for good. However, little did Reddit user u/TallMonth9107 know, a lot of trouble would follow, all thanks to his villainous dad. Here’s what happened…

    The poster also reprimanded his uncle for ratting him out to his dad, and last we heard, he hopes to have a peaceful life free from the two vicious men

    Today’s story might sound a little bit absurd because of how many twists and turns OP encountered, all thanks to his cruel dad and uncle. He never had a good relationship with his parents, and when his father got a new wife, he was raised by his grandpa. However, when he turned 17, his grandpa passed away, leaving him all his property.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Now, the kind poster allowed his dad and his family to live in his home rent-free, but the greedy folks just wanted more. They tried to turn his room into a nursery for his pregnant stepsister, and when he went home to confront them, he realized they had changed the locks. In fact, the nasty people didn’t even let him enter the house, so of course, he got cops involved and threw the whole lot out.

    Unsurprisingly, that was not the last time he heard from his father, who popped up again and demanded that since he and his girlfriend have the house, they host Christmas. OP declined this “generous” offer, so the wretched man demanded that his mom pay for their trip to Europe as the poster and his girlfriend were going there to meet her. Well, he quickly fell flat on his face.

    When OP was in Europe, another troublesome family member contacted him, his uncle, who was selling his house. The thing is, this house was the poster’s grandpa’s childhood house that he wanted to give to the uncle’s estranged daughter, Mary. He bought it from the uncle and did give it to her, but the cunning uncle told his brother that OP had bought it.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The man showed up again and tried to break in, but the poster’s cousin wasn’t as forgiving and sent him to jail for breaking into her house. OP was truly delighted by the look on his father’s face when he realized who the house belongs to. The last we heard from him, he reprimanded his uncle for ratting him out, and hopes that both men leave him alone to live his life.

    Netizens took a while to digest all that drama, and many applauded the poster for being so noble despite his father and uncle turning out this way. I am sure handling so many challenges must’ve been pretty daunting for him, too. However, he did everything within his power to make things right, whether it be teaching his dad a lesson or giving his uncle’s property to his cousin.

    Sometimes, family just doesn’t work out, and people drift apart after years of tension or hurt. Research suggests that cutting ties with a parent or relative isn’t easy, but it can be the healthiest move. It’s tough, it’s messy, and it usually builds up over time, not overnight. Basically, that’s like slow burn, which can be more hurtful than just quickly ripping off the band-aid.

    Besides, it must be quite tough for the poster to grow up in such a dysfunctional family that so casually used emotional manipulation. For instance, the father just violating all boundaries and making absurd demands from OP, that sounds like such a headache, doesn’t it? I shudder to even think of being stuck in such a complicated situation, but the poster handled it quite well.

    It has been observed that toxic parents can seriously mess with your confidence and how you handle relationships, even as an adult. However, the good news is that you can break the cycle, take back control, and start feeling like yourself again. The poster did just that, so netizens didn’t waste any time in applauding him for making such bold decisions and staying true to himself at the same time.

    '"D****t' was censored??? I suppose something like 'as thick as a plank" isn't allowed either?

    I got whiplash in at least the four major compass directions reading this. I also was astounded by the speed with which everything occurred, and then the part about dad (the “bad, bad donut” 🤣🤣) needing to leave town FAST because he’d REALLY ticked off his ex-wife’s family floored me. Are we talking about organized crime here? Is that what’s going on? I’m REALLY glad I’m neither related to these people nor even acquainted with ‘em because they SCARE ME. (Well, maybe the bad donut not so much because he’s dangerous but because he’s like a bad penny: he just keeps turning up!). (And of course, he’s a bad, bad donut! 😆) Did anyone else get an “organized crime” vibe, too? It was really difficult trying to suss out, but that was the one thing that stuck out at me as a potential reason for all this scary weirdness! Now I’m off to make sure I have no scary donuts in my life!
