When a parent passes, it feels like the entire world goes gray. You can no longer identify what makes you happy or comforted. The technicolor hues of everyday life fail to penetrate the morose forcefield you've created to keep yourself from breaking. When a parent passes, nothing is truly ever the same—just slightly different, with a lot of time to heal. We hope that our other parent steps up and supports us through our vast ocean of feelings that come in small ripples or big waves. What we don't expect from them is to have another child with someone, not even a year after their spouse passes. What do you even do in that type of situation?

Well, the 16-year-old daughter in this next story decides to live with her grandparents to get away from her father and his new girlfriend, who he got pregnant. She is now living at her father's house, so the teen banishes herself from that toxic environment. What's worse is that the pregnant girlfriend expects the teen to be okay with this new situation, which just speaks to her immaturity, even though she is the adult in this scenario. Scroll below to see how the teen establishes her feelings.

  • So I took it really hard when dad was admitting he'd kn ed someone up 7 months after my mom d d. They'd started each other 5 months after mom d d. Which is something I hate thinking about but he admitted it.

  • The last time I saw her was a month ago and she told me I was disgusting for not getting over myself and warming up to the baby who's coming whether I like it or not. She was also p ed that I wouldn't pick something up for her when she dropped it.
