YTA: Divorced, cheated, and abandoned daughter. No wonder she’s angry. ♀️
“YTA – Your actions and priorities speak louder than words. “
>She literally gave her up and wanted her to abort her
You sent her off to live with your parents when she became inconvenient to your life and your new marriage. Not seeing a ton of difference here. You literally gave her up when she was vulnerable and needed support – you definitely don’t read as a caring parent.

“YTA. Your daughter is an autonomous person and if she wants to have a relationship with her bio mom, she should be able to without consequences from you. Cassandra asked your ex wife to be her maid of honor and she declined (and that’s a big red flag and probably hurt Cassandra’s feeling very much), so she did choose your ex wife over her bio mom. The problem is that you view Cassandra as someone who owes you something, and children don’t owe you anything. You decided to take her in, and if you were going to view her as in your debt for the rest of her life then you shouldn’t have. You also clearly have no compassion for addicts and you need to work on that. People can change, they don’t deserve to punished for the rest of their life for their addiction.”
“Thank you for this. I’ve had 11 years clean and sober and this post fired me up. I deal with the stigma and stereotype all the time – but I can draw a source of strength from all that. When I see it about someone else it hurts my heart because I don’t know their path to sobriety, or if they’re taking a few detours along the way. I wish people showed a little more compassion and understood that we are human, too.” ❤️
