A few days ago, I was kicked out of my apartment because I couldn’t pay the rent. My eldest daughter let me stay at her place until I figure things out.

I will say she is the greatest kid ever. I lacked an awful lot as a dad. I had addiction issues. They eventually led to my divorce. I was high , made a mistake, and cheated. I regret so much and begged for my (ex) wife’s forgiveness, but she didn’t take me back. Even after the divorce, it took me years to come fully clean.

My daughter has two kids, one of her own (8F) and the other one is her husband’s. Her stepchild (6M) stays with them on weekends, and yesterday he came to visit his dad. He relies on sign language for communication, his dad, my daughter, and my granddaughter all know it as well. I don’t. My daughter told me that now that I live here with them, I should also learn it. But I am staying with them only for a temporary time. My daughter says I can stay here as long as I want, but I don’t want to be a burden to them. I have to figure things out and, in other words, I don’t have time to learn an entire new language.

When I told my daughter that, she started crying and told me I don’t care about her kids, just like I didn’t care about her growing up. Hearing this hurt me so bad. I hugged her and told her there hasn’t been a single day I didn’t care about her. The same goes for my granddaughter. She is my little precious baby and I would do anything for her.

She said you say that, but you won’t even learn ASL for Nate. I told her it’s not because I don’t want to, but like I said, I just don’t have time for that now. I know I’m welcomed here and I appreciate that but I have to figure things out and get out as soon as possible.

She asked me why I haven’t learned it before and if I don’t like my grandson. I was taken aback by that. Look guys, I think he’s an adorable kiddo, but my daughter has been married for only two years, and like I said the kid doesn’t live with them most of the time. Truth be told, I don’t see him as my grandson, and I was surprised my daughter referred to him as such.

I didn’t know what to say to her and said that’s not the case. Of course I like him, but again, I just don’t have time. My daughter interrupted me saying she doesn’t want to hear it anymore and left.

AITA?
