Meet our hero, a brave young woman who has been through a lot. She’s a college student, she’s bisexual, and she’s been dealing with a stepmom who’s been less than accepting. In high school, she overheard her dad’s new wife, let’s call her ‘Susan’, using a derogatory slur against her. Years later, she’s forced to return home due to the pandemic, and she’s not about to let Susan forget her past actions. Let’s dive into the drama, shall we?

The Power of an Apology

A Battle of Words, A War for Respect ⚔️
Our brave heroine found herself in a battle of words and a war for respect. Despite her dad’s promises, Susan remained unapologetic and controlling. In a bold move, our protagonist began referring to herself by the slur Susan had once used, a constant reminder of Susan’s past actions. This tactic led to a final confrontation, where our heroine stood her ground, pointing out the hypocrisy of Susan’s discomfort. Yet, the apology she longed for, the one that could change everything, still remains unsaid. Let’s see what the world thinks of this intense family drama…
NTA. Shocking that your dad hasn’t stood up for you more

“NTA. Woman behaved abhorrently, now wants to correct you? No.”

Supportive comment from a fellow LGBTQ+ person
