Entitled mother leaves 23-year-old daughter in the dust after remarrying, daughter confesses she prefers her father as a parent because she has made no effort in their relationship: ‘He’s always placed me first, which she never has’

Divorce is hard on any child, especially if the prospect of remarriage is in either of their parents' futures. Of course, as children, we want our parents to find happiness in this cruel world, but it seems like the only way we'd keep our happiness is if the concept of a rekindled relationship between ex-lovers is in the cards. Or, at the very least, the idea that both of our parents will make an effort to stay in our lives even though they've begun creating a new life with someone else. It's difficult coming to terms with our parents being separated, but it's even more difficult to endure the feeling of a parent divorcing you, too.

In this next story, a 23-year-old woman finally confesses to her mother that she prefers her father over her after realizing her mother does not make an effort to keep a healthy relationship between the two of them. The woman's father has been there for her through every step of the divorce, yet her mother has had no problem remarrying and cozying up to her new husband's child. You've likely seen this story time and time again, but each time you read one it doesn't hurt any less. Scroll below to read the entire story.

It is usually the one who decides to call it quits that moves on first, leaving those hurt by their actions to grieve in their wake. Some people aren't meant to be together romantically, sure, but having children is a responsibility that cannot be undone with time. A child will forever feel the void of an absent parent, no matter how big or small that void might be. The 23-year-old daughter who posted this story explains that her mother is simply not a mother anymore—just a figure she sees from time to time.
