Based Dad vs Spoiled Influencer Daughter

[@boxtears]

This honestly stinks of the mom badmouthing the dad and basically gaslighting her daughter into thinking he was the worst person imaginable. Wouldn't be surprised if she was also pocketing most of the payments and just telling the daughter that her dad wasn't sending them anything to help support her or cover medical bills.

[@v-ia]

this, it's 100% either the moms fault or daddy's just making shit up

[@AlbinoWhiteGuy]

That’s a great point, she wouldn’t have gotten that stuck in her head without her mom saying something when she was older.

[@Basilisk_in_a_dark_room]

My mom did the same thing, pocketed our child support to feed her addiction while telling my brother and I our father wasn't paying us a dime, tried to get us to hate our dad until we talked to him about it because he noticed we were in rags and we were noticeably thinner, we were 7 and 9 at the time

I made made up with both of them on my own terms as I got older and never allowed my moms BS to influence how I felt about my father. Because of that I got to take a road trip with my father just months before he passed away unexpectedly, if my mom had her way I never would have ever seen him again. They were both selfish and shitty and putting the blame on me for existing, which they did and often made me feel useless. I'm glad I dropped out of highschool and saw my mom's true colors. Now I know her MO and I knew my dad's. My dad just wanted to be with me and my mom just wanted me to care for her in the absence of my dad.

This happened in reverse, but at the same time, my dad wasn’t the one who specifically said how my mom was, it was influenced how my older sister felt about how she was with us growing up with dual custody as well as one of my uncle’s telling me how she’d go out a lot when we weren’t with her, meanwhile my dad had to pay child support and almost went to jail because of it I believe. I’m gonna say this lightly, but I love my mom, don’t get me wrong, but she’s definitely not the greatest parent, it may be a factor from her childhood, but all I remember is being selfless and self conscious of my own actions because of my mom.

And it shows a daughter so brainwashed by one parent who is clearly very butthurt about the father and his new hot wife. Evidence he does have the money that would obligate him to pay in the millions/upper thousands per month is also visible. And thus making all financal claims of hers redundant. The only potential point i see is they may not connect as people, and he isn't viditing much. Maybe because of the ex wife, or his own accord. But even there she said "We didnt see him for years."
