🙋♂️ Hey everyone, buckle up because I've got quite the family drama to share with you today! 😬 I'm a 15-year-old guy who's been through the adoption process once already, but now I'm facing a real pickle with my dad's new wife. 🥒 She seems to think she can just swoop in and replace my amazing mom who sadly passed away when I was only 6. 😢 The tension is real, and I'm not about to let this woman claim the title of "mom" without a fight! 💪 So, let's dive into this wild ride and see if you think I'm being an a-hole for standing my ground. 🤔

Well, well, well... the internet has spoken and it seems like most of you are firmly on my side in this family feud! 🙌 Many of you pointed out that my dad's wife is way out of line for trying to erase my mom's memory and force her way into the "mom" role. 😠 Some even suggested that her behavior is borderline abusive and manipulative! 😲 Others commended me for standing my ground and honoring my mom's legacy, even in the face of pressure from my dad and his in-laws. 💪 At the end of the day, it's clear that a mom isn't something that can be replaced like a worn-out pair of shoes. 👠 My bond with my mom is forever, and no amount of guilt-tripping or bribery will change that. 💕 So, to my dad's wife, I say this: you may be part of the family now, but you'll never be my mom. Period. 😤
