A woman shared her painful experience on Reddit about how her daughter chose to live with her cheating father after their divorce. The mother, devastated by her husband’s infidelity, lost custody of their daughter. Over the years, the daughter distanced herself, siding with her father and believing her mother was the “bad person” in the situation.
Fast forward several years, and the daughter reaches out to her mother—only after running out of money to pay for college. The mother is now faced with a dilemma: should she help her daughter, who abandoned her for so long, or stand firm on her decision to move on and support others in her life, like her goddaughter?
The post sparked heated debate in the Reddit community. Some people believed the mother was right to cut ties, especially since her daughter only returned when she needed financial help. They argued that family relationships should be based on genuine care, not money. Others felt the mother was too harsh and suggested she try to rebuild the relationship, as people can change over time. The situation highlighted the complexities of family dynamics, especially after betrayal and years of estrangement.
