But this heartbreaking story from a caring teen girl shows that some human hearts are just too cold for animals. "We have a special needs cat, Muffin, and she's quite financially demanding," the author started her post on the r/AITA subreddit, and continued: "Money is tight but I've saved up a pretty decent amount."
Recently, her stepdad got an idea to euthanize Muffin, claiming that "if we were stranded on a desert island she'd be the first one to go." Horrifyingly, the spine-chilling scenario almost turned into reality when the teen caught dad trying to sneak out the poor cat to euthanize it. As you can imagine, the teen couldn't risk the life of her beloved Muffin, so they ran away.

Fatherly reports that more than 1,300 new blended families form each day, and more than 50 percent of children under age 13 live with one biological parent and one stepparent. The current divorce rate can be to blame. Various studies showed that on average, a marriage in the US lasts seven years and roughly half of all marriages end in divorce.

It's no secret that the formation of blended families affects kids of all ages, and while for some the transition is smooth, many struggle. Researchers have suggested that kids who have experienced the divorce of parents have twice the risk of developing behavioral problems than kids with both parents. James H.

Bray, a former president of the American Psychological Association, told Fatherly that "Most research shows that 15 to 20 percent of kids in stepfamilies do not develop within normal limits, compared to about 10 percent of kids from non-divorced families." Having said that, he added that "the vast majority of kids in stepfamilies do quite well," so it all depends on the particular situation.
And this is what people had to comment on this whole incident

as you said the mother could be a victim too since that guy clearly is a sicko. we don't know all the facts so let's not judge blame and shame her !!! -4 -4points reply K1tt3n K1tt3n Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago It never mentioned that the stepdad was violent and abusive, so, you're a hypocrite telling people not to judge when you're the one who's judging and making assumptions.

I've been in abusive relationships, so I know both sides of it. All I was saying is, you are making judgments and assumptions, that's not an insult, that is exactly what you're doing. So, calm tf f**k down.

so yeah if money is tight i can understand he would like not having a special needs pet to take care of but there are maybe other options and it's not his decision to make. the only thing that needs to be euthanized is him !!!

i don't have a problem with euthanizing a very very sick pet that can't be saved if that's about ending useless suffering but it doesn't looks like it's the case here. get rid of him and go back to your daughter madam please !!!

I know when it was time to put down my beloved cat Cinderella it was one of the hardest decisions. But she was in so much pain it was necessary. I am not heartless but if I have to choose the well being of my family over a pet.

My family comes first. Maybe this young lady will one day grow up and have the responsibility of feeding, clothing and providing Healthcare for her own child. This might help her understand what her parents are dealing with.
