“YTA Right here, that’s the money shot. How on earth could you say that to your own daughter? The callousness involved in saying something like to your own flesh and blood, and one who has had to suffer a lot of change beggars belief. You need to go think long and hard about things and try to be a nicer human.”
“YTA. You were the parent you wanted to be instead of the parent your daughter needed. “
“YTA This is your daughter, and even from this post, it’s clear you favor the other kids. ‘Six years is enough’? What does that mean? She’s desperately trying to communicate emotional needs to her one and only mother, and all you do is insult and demean her. You need counseling yourself so you can get over whatever feelings you have here. If you don’t change, she is probably better off cutting you off and finding people who actually treat her with love. I hope you fix things before it comes to that.”

“YTA. You had Sandra as a daughter who begged you for attention. And you thought a statement like ‘You had me alone for 6 years’ was….a loving response? A logical response? What? And now she’s doing bigger and better things and biding her time for when she can NC you so you can be with your semicharmed family. You clearly don’t see her as family because ‘I’ve stlil got a family who appreciates me’….me me me.

Commenter empathizes with the daughter’s feelings but criticizes the mother’s dismissive approach.
“YTA. Your poor daughter. She felt replaced, which is very normal for a young child, especially when it was just you and her for a few years. And on top of that, you dismiss her feelings and tell her it is her fault. I have had my ups and downs with my parents and I have come to the conclusion when my mother would always say she did her best: ‘Just because you did your best, it doesn’t mean it was good.'”
