16-year-old demands his divorced parents show up to his school competition together despite them being no contact, his step parents get involved and refuse to let relative spouse see the other: 'I always wished they could go to the same thing'

Being a teenager is hard enough without having divorced parents. It's so harrowing to see your parents married, fall out of love, and get a legal split. Involving lawyers and split homes is traumatic on it's own. I had a friend growing up with divorced parents, and it was so tangible how heavy their relationship weighed on her. Or you always see couples that choose to "stay together for the kids," but end up doing more damage than good. And in the story here, it's probably a good thing that the parents are divorced, but it doesn't mean the child is bereft of pain. 

He's 16-years-old, and they divorced when he was 4. They're both remarried, so he's probably adjusted to that. The problem is that they will never be in the same room together. Anything he does in life he has to choose between them. I couldn't imagine, it sounds like such a nightmare. He ultimately decides he's not choosing, but you'll have to read the full story below for all the details.
