My Teen Daughter Chose Her Cheating Dad over Me & Cut All Contact, Asks Me for Money Years Later

My marriage to Robert ended after years of betrayal. He repeatedly cheated, and despite my efforts to save our relationship, I finally left. Our daughter, Kelly, was 12 and chose to stay with him. She believed his lies about me and cut me out of her life. For nearly a decade, I tried reaching out, but she never responded.

Then, almost ten years later, Kelly called. She needed money, as her father had made poor investments and couldn’t help her with tuition. Despite my anger and hurt, I felt a deep need to help. I agreed to think it over and eventually decided to meet her.

When we reunited, we talked for hours. Kelly had faced struggles, and her life with Robert wasn’t as perfect as it seemed. I decided to support her financially but set clear boundaries. She was grateful and began to reconnect. Though our relationship still had a long way to go, it was a start. Through pain and time, we began to heal.
