A teenage boy ended up in a significant argument with his father and step mother after he refused to become the caretaker for his disabled step daughter.
For example, this couple no doubt really did think that they had the childcare solution for their disabled daughter in the bag. They made the classic mistake of not actually informing their teenage son or discussing it with him, so his reaction is pretty normal. Instead of working out an agreement, they tried to push it on him.To be fair, they do have to deal with the very real issue of taking care of a heavily disabled child.
It’s not a bad thing to consider how to handle her situation, as she clearly can’t help herself. Similarly, having family help in situations like this is entirely normal and to be expected. This really is a lifelong task and it’s good that the parents, including the step father, are fully willing to actually take the time and consider the future.However, it does seem like the father may have not been entirely honest to the teen’s step mom about his motivations.
Fortunately, the son’s mom has his back and there are a lot of netizens sharing some support, which is important. When all you have is one group pursuing you, it’s easy to lose focus on what you want and believe and just follow the group. Ultimately, his father and step mother can’t make him become the caretaker of a disabled person without his agreement.I am a writer at Bored Panda.
