NTA: Defending mother against family’s decade-old grudge

“NTA. Your dad and his wife are the only AH. So… like, your dad and his mistress broke up your family… left yall to a single mom who was probably heartbroken… and THEYRE the victims??? Holy shitttt. Honestly, I would have said f**k those kids too. ETA/ Youre a better person than me, I would have spit on her and made her eat it. Your dad cheated, left your mom with 2 kids, got some lady pregnant (who was prbly aware of his existing wife and kids) while still with your mom, became a full time dad to a step kid and new baby, started a whole new family AND your mom is the evil one here? Evil for what? Not wanting to take care of their infidelity baby and her other kid? Theres a way to do things. Their way shouldnt have been an option. Maybe had they done things right and not cheated/broke up an existing family unit, maybe.” – Fiery response and support from fellow commenters!
