One teenager felt she had no choice but to demonstrate this after feeling abandoned by her dad and his wife. He had divorced her mom several years ago. Initially, the parents shared custody equally, but after he remarried, she only saw him and her stepmother on weekends.
Recently, the couple moved house, and her dad promised her a bedroom there as well as claiming that maybe he was willing to spend more time with her. This plan quickly fell through when it turned out that the spare room in the new home was going to be used for his wife's mom.
Angry and disappointed, the girl explained her feelings to her father and cut contact with him. His relatives were aghast at this drastic move, and she wondered if she was in the wrong when they began bombarding her and her mom.

17-year-old cuts off remarried dad after he converts her bedroom into room for his mother-in-law: 'My mom woke me up at 5am and asked what I did'
Remarrying after a divorce is ten times harder for anybody who has kids from their previous relationship. Any caring parent has to be concerned about choosing a partner who is happy to be a stepparent to their children, and on the flip side, make sure that their children are willing to accept their new spouse.
The evidence proves that this doesn't always work out, and quite often, parents find themselves choosing between their kids and their partner. Many would argue that children should come first every time, but reality proves that many moms and dads decide to prioritize their new spouse over their kids' feelings of happiness and comfort.
It goes without saying that this can be a traumatizing experience at any stage of development, and it isn't shocking that older children in particular can take drastic action over it. There are consequences for anybody who neglects their duties as a parent.
