I sought advice on Reddit because my daughter Maria chose to live with her rich father because of his lavish lifestyle. She is now 21 years old and wants to move back home with me after her father kicked her out.
I told how Maria was pampered by her father while I struggled financially. Our relationship broke down when I could no longer provide her with the luxuries she wanted, and she dropped out of high school at 17.
Years later, she asked me to take her back. I agreed, but I set conditions: she had to get a GED, start working, plan her career, and help around the house. I didn't ask her to pay rent, but I wanted her to be more independent.
Maria reacted angrily, insulted me and left.
On Reddit, people were divided – some thought the terms were fair and necessary, others that she wasn't looking for a real relationship with me.
Ultimately, I believe that setting these boundaries reflects the complexity of our family and is necessary to protect myself and encourage responsible behavior.
