18-year-old moves out to live with grandparents after stepdad makes him work for a father-figure and guilt trips him about not being close to stepsiblings, he stands his ground: “It’s not like I’m alone”

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Growing up is hard enough. We have our first hand experience, and there are several shows that highlight the toxic environments of family life or parenting styles. We may not even realize we're in an unhealthy upbringing situation until our adulthood when we start to reveal anecdotes from our past and realize we're the odd one out based on our experiences. 

When you have divorced parents and step siblings, things become even more burdensome. Being a teenager with your birth parents already feels like the biggest gripe and blight of your life, much less some random people who you happen to share a home with. If you're someone who grew up with a healthy relationship to their stepparents or step siblings consider yourself lucky. 

In the story below, the protagonist is a teenage boy who's had it rough in his family life. Maybe you can resonate with him, and even if you can't his story is one for the ages. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.
