My Daughter Chose Her Rich Dad over Me, Now Asks Me to Take Her Back as He Kicked Her Out
A mother shared her story on Reddit, seeking advice after her daughter, Maria, turned away from her. After the woman divorced her husband when Maria was 10, she struggled financially but provided a stable home. Meanwhile, Maria’s father indulged her with material goods. This caused tension, and when the woman couldn’t afford a $1000 laptop, Maria told her she was “better off with her father.” At 17, Maria dropped out of school, moved in with her father, and refused to stay in touch with her mother.
At 21, Maria reached out after being kicked out by her father due to his remarriage. The mother agreed to let her move in, but only under strict conditions: Maria needed to get her GED, work 25+ hours a week, attend school, and contribute to chores. Maria rejected these conditions, calling her mother “crazy” and stormed out.
Seeking input, the mother received support from Reddit users, with many agreeing that her conditions were fair and aimed at helping Maria secure a better future.
