A 16-year-old girl is considering leaving home to go live with her father after her stepbrother gets everything he wants at her expense. She had a good relationship with her mother before she married her stepfather six years ago. Her stepbrother Ian is treated like the center of the universe, and her mother gives him everything he wants.
The girl has had to give up things, including her room, braces, and volleyball, because of her stepbrother’s demands. Her father, who was overseas, is now offering to let her live with him. The girl told her mother, who became upset and cried but refused to let her leave.
The girl’s stepfather became angry and accused her of being selfish. The girl’s father is now planning to take her mother to court. The girl wonders if she is the one to blame for wanting to leave home.

Unfair treatment: Teen wants to move in with dad ♀️
A 16-year-old girl is seeking to move in with her father after her stepbrother and mother treated her unfairly. Her stepfather treats his son like royalty and her mother does the same, resulting in the girl being treated poorly. She has been forced to make sacrifices for her stepbrother’s preferences, including giving up her room for him and missing out on braces.
Her father, who was previously overseas, is willing to take her in, and she sees no reason not to go. Her mother is upset by the decision and has threatened legal action, but the girl’s father is willing to go to court. The girl’s stepfather has been unsympathetic, and the girl has responded by standing up for herself.
Though her mother and stepfather believe she is causing problems, her father and grandparents support her decision. AITA for wanting to get away from this situation ?
