The kids are not all right! This is the kind of Reddit thread that will 100% be adapted into a movie.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Awn2247, who learned the truth about his Mom's infidelity only 6 months ago. Now, he's 15, and his entire family pretty much ostracized him. While his "parents" work out their issues, the Redditor has been forced to stay with his grandparents (that's some Roald Dahl-level cruelty right there). Only his Aunt still treats him the same and even helped him uncover the identity of his biological father.

It's a relief to know that this kid's biological dad is a good guy. He broke things off with the kid's mom after learning she was married and never knew that she was pregnant with his kid. Thankfully, his family accepted the Redditor into their lives. Once the Redditor's Mom and "Dad" discovered that he had been spending time with a new family, they were hurt. But let's be real here: they don't get to be hurt after they isolated their son and he rightfully went off to find a new support system.

Personally, I haven't come across such juicy family drama since I would catch soap operas on daytime TV while home "sick" from school. For more content like this, take a look at this story where a cheater was exposed to his mother by his ex.
