AITAH after kicking my boyfriend out for calling my daughter a snitch and spoiled brat?
I have been dating my boyfriend for a couple of years now. I have an eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, and he has a four-year-old son. My boyfriend and I have always bumped heads on parenting styles and discipline. He believes his son is too young to know better, but says my daughter should already know how to act, calling her disrespectful and spoiled. My daughter's father is in jail and no longer in her life, so she craves a father figure, but my boyfriend refuses to show her affection, calling it weird. Recently, he called her a spoiled brat for leaving her plate on the table and a snitch for reporting his son's behavior. When I saw my daughter cry, I asked him to apologize, but he refused. I kicked him out of my house, and now he claims I am being too dramatic.
Dad disfigured me and refuses to address it- i accidentally make his fiancé leave him. AITAH?
When I was six years old, I tripped on my father's farm and fell face-first against a concrete wall. I lost three teeth and felt my jaw bones misalign. My father did not take me to the hospital. Instead, he forced my jaw back into place with his hands and told me not to tell my mother, who was traveling abroad at the time. Because I received no medical attention, my chin grew back disfigured and lopsided, causing me constant jaw pain, physical issues like bruxism, and deep insecurity. Recently, I told my mother the truth about the accident. She was furious and called my father, demanding that he pay for reconstructive surgery. My father reacted defensively, calling me vain and refusing to pay. During a recent visit, my father's fiancée asked me about my childhood. She had heard about the phone argument and was shocked. Feeling safe with her, I opened up about my past experiences with my father. Shortly after I returned home, my father called me in a rage. His fiancée had called off their wedding after learning about his past behavior. He blamed me entirely, screaming insults, calling me vengeful, and telling me he was glad my face was ruined. Despite the emotional toll and feeling guilty for the breakup, I realized with the support of my boyfriend that I did nothing wrong. I plan to call his ex-fiancée to talk, and I am choosing to focus on my own life, my upcoming exams, and moving forward without relying on my father.
AITA for telling my brother that if my parents need money they can ask me for it themselves.
My parents did not think a girl needed an education, so they chose not to save any money for me growing up. They had no interest in my education or extracurricular activities. My mom's brother, Bryan, grew up in the UK and he had a different attitude. He would always check in on me and see how I was doing in school. He bought me my first graphing calculator. Because I wanted to impress him, I worked myself raw to graduate with honors. I was the salutatorian in my school and received a scholarship to my dream school. I did not even bother telling my parents. I graduated from high school and moved to the west coast. My parents tried to convince me to come home, but I was quite happy for the first time I could remember. I studied in a STEM field and was recruited before I graduated. My job pays me very well and I met my husband at work. My brother also attended university and is an engineer. He does well for himself, except that he is constantly giving our parents money. My brother talked to me recently about how we needed to support our parents in their old age. I said I had no problem contributing to them. However, they would have to ask me for help. I would not volunteer it or send it through him. If they wanted my money, they had to ask for it. He says that they won't because it would shame my father to ask a woman for money. I am okay with him feeling shame after the way he raised me. My brother says I am being unreasonable and it does not matter since my parents know where the money will be coming from. I think that my parents need to get over themselves.
