17-year-old abandoned at birth to grandparents now expected to be big brother to absent bio mom’s new baby, he refuses: “You are no mom and dad to me”

Hey there internet maniacs. It's 2025, and tradition in so many facets of social life is being dismantled all the time. What we once thought was gender, dating, or health is being flipped on its back. No one knows what's going on anymore, but the good news is that everything is seemingly okay. So now, if you're used to being the "odd ball out," then feel isolated no more. Now, being "odd" is sort of normal, or trendy at the very least. So if you're adopted and not in direct or constant contact with your biological parents, never fear. The world won't judge you in the same way they did in the 1960s. You can grow up granola, or just plain eccentric and things are simply different now.

In the story below, at least the protagonist who was given up for adoption was legally adopted by his maternal grandparents. His bio mom has a sudden urge to bring him back into her life for the sake of her new children, but he refuses.

AITA for telling my biological parents to treat me like their new kids' uncle who they only see at family gatherings?

Even if it’s not as taboo, it’s still heartbreaking to feel like you don’t have your biological parents by your side. Even people with bad parents who are present might feel better about their situation than someone who grows up knowing that their parents immediately gave them up for adoption.
