Teen Rejects Grandparents After Learning How They've Treated His Dad For 20 Years

But as he explained in a Reddit post, that was until a young woman pretended she had arranged to meet with him so he could stay.

And after she bought him a meal and had a long conversation with him, she helped him turn his life around in ways that included assisting him while he filled out a job application.

That started a close friendship that eventually blossomed into a romance after he was in a more stable situation two years later.

And while he sadly said he understood how they'd feel that way, even he eventually ran out of patience for the way they looked down on him.

As he put it, "But after 4 years of us being in a relationship? Me having the same steady full time job to help with the bills for years?"

And they were serious enough about their judgment of him that they didn't attend the wedding. And when their son was born a year later, they still wanted nothing to do with the new family.

Although they hadn't changed the way they felt and certainly didn't apologize, they said they were "willing to put their feelings" aside to form a relationship with him.

As the man said, "My son already knows about my past. That’s something I never wanted to hide from him."

But what he didn't know was why his grandparents had no contact with his parents. Nonetheless, the couple figured he should decide for himself whether he wanted a relationship with them.

So since his grandparents seemed nice enough, he asked his dad why that rift had happened in the first place. So he told his son the truth.

Naturally, this made the son less willing to speak to his grandparents and they're now angry about this and accusing the dad of ruining his relationship with them.

In his words, "For now my son says he doesn’t want to be involved with people like that."

And while the mom supported his decision to reveal the truth, the man is still wondering if he was in the wrong.

As one user said, "Did the grandparents actually expect you to lie about the reason for the estrangement???"

And as far as others were concerned, the couple were already being far nicer than anyone should expect by agreeing to their terms for meeting their grandchild.

In the words of another person, "I mean, they weren’t even willing to try to mend the relationship with you and their daughter and they have the nerve to be mad at you for being honest about what happened?"
