'She said he had no right to drain their accounts for me': Estranged dad gives 21-year-old daughter belated child support money in an attempt to make good on abandoning her, new wife demands she return the money

Have you ever felt so bad about something that you did years ago that you had to make a grand gesture in order to rectify it? When I was a small kid, one of my cousins knocked over a snowglobe that I got at a garage sale. That doesn't sound like too big of a deal, but it was the first thing that I ever bought with my own money that I saved up, and it was Bambi-themed – my favorite Disney movie at the time. About a decade later, when I was a teenager, he gifted me the very same snowglobe that he managed to track down on eBay.

In our story today, an estranged father attempts to rectify his past behavior to his daughter by gifting her a large sum of money. He said it's the least she deserves after he spent years avoiding paying child support – to the point that he even spent time behind bars! His new wife is not so into the gesture, though, and she comes around demanding cash back. Scroll down for more.

While it is messed up that he is not taking care of his younger children, our protagonist does not owe this woman anything. This check is the least she deserves after years of abandonment.

She's definitely trying her best to scare our protagonist into handing over the money. She wouldn't have to do that if she had a legal claim.
