My Teen Daughter Chose Her Cheating Dad over Me & Cut All Contact, Asks Me for Money Years Later

A 45-year-old woman shared her story on the “AITA” subreddit. She married a wealthy man, enduring his infidelity for the sake of her family’s financial benefits. When she finally decided to divorce, her in-laws and parents portrayed her negatively to their daughter, Kelly, resulting in the loss of custody. Despite a favorable settlement, Kelly refused to see her mother.

Facing financial hardships, the ex-husband’s misfortunes led Kelly, now 21, to seek her mother’s financial support for graduate school. The woman agreed but required Kelly to sign a contract relinquishing her status as the heir. The woman wanted to leave the majority of her assets to her goddaughter, Laura, rather than Kelly.

Kelly expressed hurt but desired to reconnect. The woman, torn between familial advice and fostering a non-transactional relationship, navigates the complexities of repairing her strained connection with her daughter.
