Imagine having a strained relationship with your children, only for them to cut ties with you completely. Then, years later, they try to reconnect after their stepfather abandons them. That’s the situation one man found himself in, and he decided to deny his daughters’ request to rejoin his life. The father insists he’s not leaving anything out of the story and that he did nothing to warrant their initial rejection. Now, he’s left wondering if he’s in the wrong for refusing to welcome them back.

Is He Justified or Just Heartless?

The dad believes the timing is too convenient and refuses to let them rejoin his life. He insists he’s done nothing wrong and that his daughters are the ones who created this situation. But is he right to shut the door on them, or is he just being heartless? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this emotional rollercoaster…
