Redditor Refuses To Take Care Of Step Dad's Daughter And Tells Him "We Were Never Sisters"
On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, Redditor u/Standard_Passenger56 posted a story about his family. It's about everything in his house getting complicated after his mom married Henry. They both had kids from their previous marriages, including Vivienne, a surprise addition.
Although Henry gained full custody of Vivienne from his second wife, he didn't want to take care of her. He tried to pawn Vivienne off on the OP, but the OP didn't accept.
When Henry and the OP's mom separate, the situation gets even trickier. Henry wants the OP to treat Vivienne as a sister, but the OP refuses. This leads to a big argument, with both sides standing their ground.
