So some context first. My mother cheated on my dad with with stepfather over 10 years ago and they have been married for 7 years now. I never really gave my stepfather a chance because of that. I wasn’t rude or a jerk to him I just didn’t want to go and do things with him because I felt like he ruined my parents marriage. Anyway I started riding motorcycles about 6 months ago and he started riding them too and I thought it was odd because he never talked about it before. Him and I have gone on a couple of rides together now and it never hit me till now that he tried so hard to do stuff with me because he never had a son of his own. He has 4 daughters and then me his stepson who was just blowing him off for years. I can’t believe I never realized that till today I feel like such a jerk and that I wasted all that time with him. I hope he can forgive me someday. Sorry I’m on mobile.
TL;DR Never gave step father a chance, realized today he tried so hard to have a relationship with me because he never had a son and he saw me as a son. I hope it’s not to late to fix.
Update: WOW there are so many mixed comments here some saying I’ve matured and am ready to forgive him and others that say screw him he ruined your family. He did know that my mom was married and I won’t forget what he did to my family. But that was also 10 years ago both of my parents are doing very good and I’m ready to move on from that finally. He has been a good father to his four daughters. I just never realized he’s always treated me the same way he treats them and the way my father still treats me. It’s going to be a long road but I am finally going to start opening up to him a little more, he is not my father and will never be my father. But he has always been there for me and I never cared.
