What Do Redditors Think?
OP posted his story on Reddit because he was worried about his relationship with his stepsons. He asked other Redditors if they had been in a similar situation and how they maintained their relationship with their stepchildren.
Redditor superherostitch suggested that the children could participate in the divorce by sharing their opinions.
“Sounds like the kids are bonded too, so don’t lose hope that you’ll still be a big part of their lives,” the Redditor added.
“I have a feeling that your wife was hiding him for longer than you think,” Redditor mobiak stated. The user advised OP not to give any money to his wife as child support because she might spend it on her ex instead of the kids.
The Redditor also asked OP if his wife was still begging him for forgiveness. OP replied that he didn’t speak to her after that day because he was busy with his daughter’s graduation ceremony.
He planned to talk to her after getting in touch with his lawyer.
Most Redditors were shocked to read OP’s story and felt bad for him. They shared their advice, hoping it would help the man decide what to do next.
