Imagine growing up knowing that you’re not the daughter your mother always wanted. That’s the reality for one woman, who’s been described as a ‘tomboy’ throughout her life. Her mother, who’s always wanted a feminine daughter, has had a tough time accepting her for who she is. Recently, the woman’s father suggested that she should let her mother ‘grieve the daughter she wanted.’ But is it fair for her to bear the burden of her mother’s unfulfilled dreams? Let’s dive into this heart-wrenching story.

A Daughter’s Struggle for Acceptance

Caught between her mother’s unfulfilled dreams and her own identity, this woman is left feeling heartbroken and lost. Her father suggests that she should let her mother ‘grieve the daughter she wanted,’ but is it fair to ask her to shoulder this burden?

Let’s see how the internet responds to this heart-wrenching situation…
