14-year-old adopted son keeps in contact with bio dad but refuses to meet his new wife, dad insists on making them bond until wife puts her foot down: ‘He wants nothing to do with me’

We all forget way too quickly how hard it is to be a teenager. Even though we all agree it is clearly much harder to be an adult, those teenage years are not a picnic either, and we should not let ourselves forget that.

During those monumental years as a teen, everything simply feels extremely high-stakes all the time. Every social interaction, every exam in school, every fight with our parents, it just feels huge at the moment. And even though in retrospect, we know it was all just hormones, messing with our heads, we should not forget those experiences, and we should not disregard how we felt.

This is mainly because when we grow up, and we find ourselves dealing with teenagers, being able to sympathize with them can go a long way. We must always remember how it feels like to be a teenager and give them grace, even if we know they make a mountain out of a molehill.

The teenager in the story below is already dealing with a lot, being an adopted kid who still keeps in touch with his biological parents. It can't be easy, and it surely brings up a lot of emotions that are hard to deal with, especially as a teen.
So when the 14-year-old decided he didn't want anything to do with his biological parents' spouses, maybe it would be best if the adults respected his decision.
Surprisingly, the only ones who respect his wishes, are the spouses he doesn't want to see.
