3 Intense Stories of Children Turning Against Their Parents

When asked if she regretted uninviting her mother, the teenager said she didn’t and believed it was the right decision since she preferred her father’s presence. This deeply hurt OP, who confronted her daughter about not considering her feelings. However, the daughter stood firm, saying she would always prioritize her father, even if he let her down.

OP shared her frustration at not being valued as much as her daughter valued her father. She assured her daughter she would continue to support her in the future but admitted she was uncertain about her role in major events, like future graduations or weddings, if this pattern continued.

In her final update in October 2022, OP admitted it was immature to ask her daughter if she regretted uninviting her. She explained that although her daughter often called her a “best friend,” she maintained her role as a parent, which included setting boundaries and discipline.

After the graduation incident, OP reached out to her daughter’s father, who responded with a letter. In it, he claimed that their daughter had been aggressive and threatening toward him and his family, which made him distance himself from her.

He also accused her of stalking his family and said he had tried to have a good relationship with her. OP confronted her daughter about these accusations, leading to a fight where the teenager blamed her mother for ruining her relationship with her father.

The daughter eventually went off to college, cutting all contact and refusing to communicate. Despite the pain, OP felt some relief, as her self-esteem had taken a hit during the situation. She began therapy, started to feel a bit better, and even went on her first date in ten years without feeling guilty. OP accepted that her relationship with her daughter wasn’t perfect and recognized how difficult things had been for both of them.
