Teenager Stops Visiting Dad (Divorced) After Being Treated "Like A Dog" By Dad And His New Family

Jonathan Hayda

In the chaotic world of split custody, our protagonist, a 15-year-old Reddit user, finds himself caught in a whirlwind of family drama. Enter Dad's new flame, Jane, and her sidekick, Mandy, who somehow always end up overstaying their welcome. Picture this: an unexpected midnight bed invasion, with the user abruptly kicking Mandy out, only to face the inevitable "you should share" argument.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. A comfy chair gifted to the user becomes the epicenter of a never-ending race with Mandy, leading to demotion to the floor. Dad insists on compromise, claiming the user's rebellious streak is just teenage antics. 

The breaking point? An anticipated ice fishing trip, a father-son tradition tarnished by Jane and Mandy's complaints. The user decides he's had enough, opting out of subsequent visits to Dad's.

As the dust settles, the Reddit community is left pondering: Is he the unruly teen, or just a victim of a compromise overload? Let's check it out together.

So what do you guys think? Is OP's plan the right approach here? I think that OP should talk to his dad first before going the extreme length that he did.
