We can always count on Reddit's infamous "Am I The A$$hole?" thread for some juicy family drama. In this post, a distraught stepmom has no idea how to handle her relationship with her stepdaughter. Because the girl's bio mom convinced her that the OP was the homewrecker that ruined her parent's marriage when they actually only got together after the parents got divorced. When visiting her stepmom's home, she totally snapped at her, calling her both a homewrecker and a gold digger. Major yikes. Scroll down for more of the dramatic details.

    Font - r/AmItheAsshole · Posted by u/Beneficial-Error4840 20 hours ago 4 AITA for telling my step daughter to leave the house after she called me a home wrecker? No A-holes here My step daughter and I don't have a good relationship. I have been in her life since she was 9. Her father and I started dating three months after he filed for divorce. we were colleagues for a short while about an year before

    Font - their divorce but we didn't have any relationship back then. I left the firm just 6 months after we started working together. I didn't even think about him once till we reconnected at a party hosted by one our colleague.

    Font - His ex wife thinks that we had an affair with me. There is nothing we can do to convince her otherwise. She told her daughter about her suspicions when she was around 13. we had a great relationship till then and I tried to tell her that her dad didn't cheat. She doesn't believe us. It is just our words against her mother and the timeline does look a bit suspicious.

    Human body - She withdraw from me and she has always been distant since then and sometimes she made some remarks about her father being a cheater and it was very hard on both of us. It was something we tried to talk about but it was just our words against her mother's and she truly believed it.

    Font - She returned home for summer break after her freshman year. She decided to spend most of the time with her mother but she does visit us a few times. She visited us two days ago. She was in a remarkably bad mood. she was just stewing in silence and watching something on TV. I asked her to turn the volume down as I was working.

    Font - She blew up on me. She called me a home wrecker and a gold digger. She accused me of ruining her parents' marriage. I was stunned and shocked and it hurt me. I knew she didn't like me but she clearly hated me. I think her calling me a gold digger hurt the most. I am at a stage of my career where I want to switch to something less stressful but one of the reasons I don't is because we don't want her to be burdened by debt. I love this girl even if she didn't care about me.

    Product - I asked her to leave the house and come back when she could was a bit calmer. She left the house and she is not talking to her father. He tried to talk to her and she is not speaking to him. I feel incredibly guilty. I should have handled it better. I got too emotional about it.

    Font - I really can't blame her for believing what her mom told her. If my mom told me something similar about dad I would have believed it and I can't blame her mother too. if you believed that your spouse cheated wouldn't you tell your children at some point? I let her words get to me and I may hurt my husband's relationship with his her. I feel guilty as hell. My husband also think that I should have been calmer here and just let her vent a bit before talking to her. Edit : she is in college,

    Font - majesticjewnicorn · 19h Asshole Enthusiast [7] The daughter is still the AH, regardless of what she believes. She was in OP's home (where she herself does not live) and disrespected her. If she is so adamant that her mother is telling the truth then she should see her father outside of OP's home, or alternatively at least be civil whilst in OP's home and in OP's company. No guest should ever disrespect the host in their own home- if they hate the host so much then they should leave.

    Font - -gilded-lily · 20h 3 NTA - she was incredibly rude to you in your own home and she's an adult, not a hormonal teen any more. Your husband should be firm with her but he's probably afraid of losing her altogether. Invite her back now that everyone is calm and show a united front. Tell her the facts of your relationship, that you pay your way, and that you love her. Also tell her that her rudeness won't be tolerated in your house. She might be unhappy but she can't sit on your settee watchi

    Font - Infamous-Wasabi-9007 · 20h Asshole Enthusiast [8] This young woman is a victim of her mother's lies about you. The bio mom is the main AH here. Those lies do not excuse stepdaughter's behavior toward you in your home. Yes, you could have handled it better but we are human beings. We are imperfect. Tell her you are sorry for telling her to leave but that you were upset because you did not have an affair with your husband while he was still with the bio mom.
