Family, Relationships
ADVERTIsem*nT
Everybody makes mistakes, but some are greater than others. Children who make mistakes might find out how easily it can snowball and become even bigger if it isn’t corrected fast. That’s why parents help their kids figure out how to tackle life’s problems and offer support so that they can learn and grow.
But there are also parents who punish their children severely for doing something wrong. That’s what happened to a man who got his girlfriend pregnant at 15 and ended up being kicked out by his parents.
More info: Reddit

Guy shared how he got kicked out at 15 and had to live with his aunt after telling his parents he got his girlfriend pregnant, to which they said “they were ashamed to have [him] as their son”

His GF initially looked after the baby, but one day she decided “she wasn’t meant to be a mom” and left the kid with him, so he looked after the girl with the help of his aunt and cousins

NOPE! Given the fact, that the OP was living with his aunt, thr parents knew all of these 13 years where he is, where their grandkid is. All in these 13 years they chosed to go NC. Yes, people can make mistakes, and I would consider it, if the (grand)parents would try to reconnect in 1-2 max. 3 years, after kicking out the OP. But after 13 years???? Again, NOPE! They were waiting so long to be sure, the OP is no more a burden for them, that they don't need to help him. They want just the A side ....

Can't agree enough with the above. They've had 13 freaking years in which they could have contacted you and they didn't. And now, now that things have finally settled down for you, now that you are content with life, they want to reconnect? Do you realise that you could jeopardize all that by letting these people, who have proved themselves to be less than stellar, into your life again? Please don't fall for their 'it's our grandchild' or 'it's family' blackmail. You owe them nothing. Don't let them near you and don't let them near your daughter at any price.

Nope, they knew where he was, aunt and cousins all stepped up so family all knew and there's every chance they were given updates. They were too proud and selfish to reach out for 13 years, they can pound sand now.

Actually because they were with family the first thing I'd do is contact the Aunt he used to live with. See if the parents did contact her about him. If they never bothered I'd probably stay no contact. But it's possible they kept tabs on him via the Aunt, it's also possible they saw that he was better off there and passed on financial assistance to the Aunt without him knowing. Probably not, but you never know. See what the Aunt says before making any decisions.

i dont blame his parents for being ticked off that he conceived a child at that age, but everything they did after that was inexcusable, im guessing they're either hoping for op to be a free babysitter or they're trying to reconnect to save face, its been 13 years they knew where he was until he moved out and couldve reached out to him when he was still at his aunts house
