Unfortunately, some people, instead of helping, can make it all even harder.
But it didnt matter to them.
Its clear that they were very much in love.
The wife had a son, who was 18 years old at the time the couple started dating.
Thereasonswhy step-parents dont get along with their stepchildren vary.
Maybe theyre just incompatible human beings.
Or maybe there are some underlying issues.
As with many situations in life, it depends on the situation.
The reason why the OP and his stepkid didnt get along wasnt specified.
These problems started after the wife tragically died in an accident.

She pointed out that such harsh and unexpected deaths like accidents can make grief even more complicated.
So, understandably, the OP was crushed by feelings like that.
He asked him to stay there for a little bit, at least until he could collect himself.
But the stepson wasnt empathetic to his stepfathers grief and kicked him out.
If that wasnt enough, he also threw all his belongings away.
This destroyed the OP even further, as much of this was the memories of his deceased wife.
Maybe being a total jerk to his stepfather was this man acting out due to the loss he experienced.
Or maybe hes just not a nice person.
We dont know him enough to make determined statements.
Ever since this conflict, the men havent been in contact for 4 years.
They had some small talk, and the original poster ended up giving out his contact information.
After some time, the author received a phone call from his stepson.
He was asked if he would be interested in buying the house he was kicked out of.
Apparently, this man needed some money forbusinessventures.
When OP suggested he take out a loan, he answered that he already had one.
He also expects not to be kicked out of the home after his stepdad purchases it.
In a nutshell he wants his stepfather to treat him way better than he treated him.
So, no surprise, this infuriated the man enough for him to vent about it on Reddit.
People there were no less infuriated than him.
Basically, folks urged the OP not to give in and not tobuythe house.
These netizens werent wrong, were they?
After all, it seems that this stepson sounds like an opportunistic and unempathetic jerk.
We cant rule out the possibility that he has some underlying problems that make him act this way.
Still, it doesnt guarantee that it would change both the stepfathers and netizens opinions of him.
