Stepmom demands 17-year-old son write a nice card for dad's birthday, son gives him a list of all the times he fails as a dad instead: ‘It was the gift of having his eyes opened’

How did you celebrate your parents' birthdays when you were growing up?

Were you one of those kids who would wake up early to make some pancakes and coffee so you could serve them breakfast in bed? Did you buy presents, or make them thoughtful cards with a lovely note inside telling them how much you love and appreciate them?

The 17-year-old kid in the story below did none of the above. When his stepmom asked him to write a nice card for his dad's birthday, the teen saw this as an opportunity to say exactly what was on his mind. So, instead of a card, this kid made his dad a list, in which he described all the times his dad failed him as a parent and neglected him in favor of his stepchildren.

Years of resentment were all crammed up in one card, which was later given to the dad. Safe to say, the family was not the same after the dad read everything his son had to say…
