Divorced dad gets backlash from ex-wife for providing more than bare minimum for 14-year-old daughter in child support: “I’m making sure [she] has everything she needs”

Parents are always trying their best. Even if it seems like they're not, even if they seem riddled with malicious intent, cowardice, projection, or all of the above, what you're seeing and experiences is actually their best. I know it can be hard to believe when you watch them treat you poorly, or sabotage the relationship, but truly they're being their best selves. No parent is going into a situation and saying to themselves, "now let's make things worse just for fun." Despite the complicated relationships we have with our parents, we need to give them credit where credit is due. Forgiveness is always the best medicine to a bad thing.

If you have divorced parents, there could be a lot of drama involved that has nothing to do with you. In the story below, the protagonist is a man who's divorced. As he's in financial responsibility of his teenage daughter, he wants her to have the best life, even if he sees her half the time. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

I understand that maybe this mother is triggered by her ex-husband, and him giving more than his child support may seem like some bold or condescending statement, but it's not. She needs to think about her daughter, instead of her ego.
