We all know the teenage years can be a rollercoaster of emotions, but for one 15-year-old girl, her birthday dinner turned into a battleground. Living with her mother and stepdad, Rick, she's felt sidelined by her biological father, who seems more interested in his grandkids than his own daughter. When she decided to exclude him from her birthday dinner, the fallout was more explosive than any birthday candle could ever be. 🎂💥
