Being a stepparent can feel like trying to join a club you were never invited to—trust isn’t handed out freely, and earning your place takes persistence and care.
Knowing this, one woman on Reddit has made every effort to connect with her husband’s adult children. Thoughtful gifts, special occasions, remembering the little things—you name it. But the heartfelt gestures have been met with silence.
Now, she’s asking the internet if it’s time to stop giving to those who never give back.
