Some people don't even deserve to be called "dad."

...swooped in and took it from him... he literally had the buisness but gave it away

Damn bro left behind his own mother and kid for 6 years. What a weak man.

"Why didn't you tell me?" You blocked them and never gave them a way to contact you. They had to hire a professional to find you. Why do people get mad when people can't tell them anything? Like they have to idea how to get a hold of you, and you blocked them.

You can't steal something that the other person willingly threw away. That father is clearly remembering a different timeline.

Block him everywhere. Don't give him a second thought.

Dad doesn’t deserve shit 😂 your grandfather would be teary eyes and proud of you for stepping up the way you did.

The _audacity_ of that man! He _left_ that failing business with his daughter and his mother, let _them_ sort it out _after_ receiving _his_ buy-out from OP's maternal grandparents, and then he just up-rooted and cut _both of them_ out of his life - and somehow he expects something from his deceased mother _and_ to be given back the now successful business that he didn't want a damn thing to do with in the first place? If stupidity is a disease he's down so hard with the sickness.

OP has earned everything she's gotten there, the 'dad' is an absolute joke of a man

He didn’t want it he was bought out

It is always shocking how quickly parents drop their children for the new family.

some people don't deserve children

Didn't realise you could sell something, then claim it was stolen when it's worth money in the future. Can't wait until I'm in my 60s and my first car is considered a high value classic, so I can claim it was stolen by used car dealers, ha ha ha.

I will say it was good that her maternal grandparents could afford it and probably the best decision OP and Grandma made. RIP Grandma. You were a real one.

its very respectable she was still calling him dad, that title should've dropped when he left.

OP is a badass. She should make the father beg and then dangle a carrot to work at your business. Eventually, tell him he can be the janitor and scrub toilets 😂 and never promote him ever

Wow!! Those tears weren't from shame of the horrible treatment from him all those years: but because he realized you weren't gonna give in and he was crying because he saw the money he thought he deserved, was never going to him..

dude sold his shares, refused to consult, abandoned his mother and child for 6 years no-contact, and wanted to come back as a co-owner LOOOOOL

The only time he cried was when he didn't get free money cuz he somehow got "cheated" from the family business that he abandoned. He didn't even cry for his literal family passing. This showed exactly how selfish he is.

He had his chance and refused it. Father screwed himself. Your grandmother was completely right in her will.

Whether he earned it or not doesn't matter. He inherited it honestly. He had no power over his grandmother's wishes, and in that situation, all that matters is what she wanted.

that man is not a dad… you so deserve that business and well done

He was offered the opportunity the OP was and rejected it, he can soak all those tears up and go on somewhere .

He didn't take part in that business when his father actually wanted him to and now he wants a part of it?! NTA

if he got involved I have a feeling he would try and sell it out from under OP

dad let the family buy out his shares so that he could flee to NYC. he deserves nothing.

No, no, no, no. Dad doesn't deserve even the lowest position in your business. He abandoned you, his mom, and the business, but he still expects that he is handed it all back on a silver platter.

Dude, don't let the leech suck up your fortune. The selfishness is shown when he said you don't deserve it after you and grandma raise the business.

Guy abandons his mother and daughter, wants to get rid of his father's business then like a typical karen just scream into the void because if he can't have it no one can.

He sold his half of the business and so therefore has no claim.

Hire his wife

How pathetic can someone be??? He's a failure in many aspect, as a father, as a son, as business man, even as decent human being lol And that petty move?? So pathetic. 😂😂

He's a cry baby. Keep the business, your father didn't earn not a dime.

so basic the parent leaves their kid and when the kid gets rich and everything they come back ai need to come up with better stuff

He was crying at his assumed loss of $

Father had his chance to either make amends or accept the business and he threw it in his mother’s face and desperately tried to sell it away. His father would want the op to have it and keep it in the family. The dad is grasping at straws and he knows it.

I wonder how the materal parents are doing... they seemed kinda nice.

He can't even call himself a man if he uses someone else's money.

He can come into the business when pigs fly and not in an airplane.

uhm i smell audacity, entitlement and SELFISHNESS IN THE AIR!! oh wait, it’s coming from the “father”

3:20 Not conformable being around his "Ex-Wife's" daughter? Ma'am she's dead and that’s her only parent 💀

After he left that business would have died and not very slow death if it wasn't for the daughter

Wow...OP's father is SO childish! She literally helped save the family's bussiness and bring it back into action, all while her father abandoned her and her grandma(his own mother!) to their own luck. And now that the business is thriving he feels like this bussiness is something that is "owed" to him just because if was his father(OP's grandfather) that made it? The guy was dumb and selfish(as well as lazy since he just wanted to sell the bussiness rather than work on it), he's only crying because now he realized what an amazing thing he gave away in exchange for money(as he sold his share to OP's maternal grandparents).He's crying because he's missing on "all that *easy* money", as if the bussiness itself raised from the dead just like that. OP is way more mature than her loser of a sperm donor, because that manchild isn't even qualified to be called a "father".

He didn't throw it away, he sold it. Also OP kinda weak. I know people that didn't go beyond elementary school with multiple businesses. Remember kids, you have to be a good sales person. You're either selling your skills, just your time, or product. A combination sometimes, but you're selling something. So get people skills even if you're awkward.

Compare this story's writing style with the one yesterday about OP's father's head injury. This (fake) vs the other (real). Anytime someone asks "how do you know this is fake?" Just show em the head injury story.

what a farquuad

Lol he cried ? What a loser

Sad

Nope he left you and your grandma to struggle to stay afloat. He sold his shares and has no right to anything. Block him and move on.

Damn

NTA

Yta for being extra. You know damn well you’re not in the wrong. Instead of honoring your mother and taking care of you, he abandoned you and your grandmother to fend for y’all selves. Then he comes crawling back and brain rottingly says you stole the business from him, when he was the one who abandoned it. And if that wasn’t enough, he irritatingly claims what your mother would say/thing. 0 self awareness because we know what she think of him for abandoning everything to live his new life. He is a joke of a man and sorry excuse of a father. How you faltered in your decision is beyond me and makes me angry

I earned the business because I handled the social media page and told grandma what to do sometimes. Lmao.
