A father is contemplating cutting his son’s college fund after he refused to visit him and his new family. The son, who is not the biological child of the father, had expressed his displeasure at being left out of conversations and not being called by his father during his absence. The father had apologized for his actions, but the son refused to visit him, citing his preference to only hang out with him. The father, who had assumed that the son wanted a relationship with his biological father, later discovered that he was mistaken, and invited the son to live with him. However, the son refused, and even declined to visit his half-sister after she was born. Frustrated, the father threatened to cut his son’s college fund, leading to a heated exchange between the two. While some may argue that the father’s actions were justified, others believe that he was being an AH for threatening his son. What do you think? Read on for more comments and reactions.
