These in-laws' unkind comments about a girl's burn scars have caused a rift in the family. The poster of the thread explains that he has been dating his fiancée for two years and had spent very little time with her family during that period. He also explains that his daughter has a burn mark on her face that she is very insecure about.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A** Hole) subreddit by Redditor u/aintnoworries0 who pulled his daughter out of the situation with his future in-laws. He is wondering if it was wrong or rash of him to leave with her when his in-laws began calling attention to her burn mark, making comments about it and making her feel insecure and uncomfortable.

Commenters resoundingly have voiced that he is a good father for taking the steps that he took while others have suggested that he may want to re-evaluate his relationship with his fiancée.

"OH, OP, your fiancee has shown her true colors," commented coloradogrown85. "She doesn't in fact care about your daughter. If she did, she would have realized that your FMIL suggesting you "photo shop out the scar so it doesn't distract" is hella insulting. If I were you I'd rethink the wedding and that family. They owe YOU and JUDY the apology not the other way around. NTA."
