On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, one Reddit user recently shared a heartfelt story of her growing up with a narcissistic mom and the absence of a dad. At age 10, a significant moment occurs when the OP receives her first hug from her mom's boyfriend, Dan, who becomes a source of support during challenging times for both the OP and her sister.
But things took a turn when Dan passed away, leaving the OP in charge of her sister's trust fund. After her mom started dating another guy, the OP faced tough decisions when her mother insisted on sharing the fund with her stepsister, but she refused.
