This poor kid…

His life has been anything but easy and, unfortunately, it’s not getting any easier.

Multiple family members he loved have died, and now he’s forced to live with one family member who was never there for him.

He can’t wait until he turns 18.

Here are all the details.

AITA for not letting my bio dad and his wife adopt me and refusing to comply with family therapy?

“My bio dad walked out when I was a few months old.

He and my mom weren’t married and the three of us had lived with bio dad’s parents. After bio dad walked out, me and mom continued living with them.

My mom passed away when I was 3.

Before she passed, she had my grandparents adopt me. She got my bio dad to sign off on it which he did and my aunts and uncles said he was happy to do it.

This person has been through a lot.

Grandpa passed away when I was 9 and my grandma when I was 13.

Grandma tried to get him to take some interest in me after grandpa passed but he didn’t.

I lived with my uncle for a few months until my bio dad fought for custody and won.

I didn’t know my bio dad at that point. The only time I saw him was at grandpa and then grandma’s funerals.

I was almost 14 when I sent to live with my bio dad and his family. I’m 17 now.

They never liked this idea.

I didn’t want to live with my bio dad. I wanted to live with my uncle or any of my aunts and uncles. I know them, grew up with them, they were in my life this whole time.

But bio dad being bio dad won out with a judge who dismissed everything my therapist said.

Now that I’m here I’m pretty angry at him for pulling me away from everyone I know and love. Even 3 years later I’m still angry at him.

This is a lot to deal with for a young kid.

He’s married and has five kids under 10.

All of them have tried to get me to give in and become a part of their family but I’m not willing to do that. So my bio dad and his wife decided the three of us need family therapy.

They also wanted me to give my consent to them adopting me.

Bio dad tried to adopt me when he got custody but the judge did listen to me on that. And I refuse to give my consent.

Therapy isn’t going well.

I sit in therapy every week and I don’t engage.

We’ve cycled through about 7 therapists in two years and they’re trying to find someone who can make me engage.

They’re also giving me more grief for refusing the adoption. Some of bio dad’s kids asked me to please be their brother and be adopted and be family.

I always tell them their parents are not mine and I don’t belong in this family. That I belong with my family.

It upsets them. Which angers bio dad and wife. But I won’t give in just for random kids.

His dad isn’t backing down.

My uncle tried to fight for custody again a few months ago but again my wishes were dismissed.

I told my bio dad if he let me go I might not dislike him and his whole family.

He told me he wants me to embrace the family, not move away and never see them again.

These people sound insufferable.

My dad’s wife’s parents are at their house all the time. They started to scold me over rejecting the adoption and not participating in therapy.

I told them to mind their own business a few times.

Bio dad told me it was unacceptable and I needed to stop being this way. He told me he’s my real dad and him adopting me corrects a mistake that was made.

I told him I’ll never let it happen.

This all ends when he turns 18.

The therapist we’re currently in sessions with is also pushing me to accept the adoption even though I don’t engage.

I’m so sick of this and I’ve got a countdown going for my 18th birthday when my uncle comes to get me.

AITA for being so stubborn with my positions?”

He’s 17, so sticking it out until 18 sounds like the best solution at this point.
