The family in this Reddit story is as messy as you would expect, possibly even more, and the 17-year-old son who wrote the story is not interested in making it any better.
After he lost his mom, his father pretty much checked out and left his kid to fend for himself. The son found his new family with his mom's parents, his own grandparents, and gave up on ever feeling at home with his dad.
However, his dad has since remarried, and his new wife is eager to “play house” and make the family whole again. Keep scrolling to read how the son reacted to her attempts…

Does the son owe anything to his dad and his new family? I would say he definitely does not. He has every right to feel like his father has failed him, and therefore not want to take part in anything related to his new stepmother and her children. It is okay if he is not interested in playing house with any of them.
However, maybe if he does decide to give this new family a chance, he might be pleasantly surprised. He might find comfort in this new change, and enjoy the company of the people who joined his dysfunctional family.
Yet, it is still up to this kid completely, and every decision he makes is valid and should be respected.
