One of the most trying circumstances any of us will ever encounter is being abandoned. Depression, mistrust, and unreasonable levels of anxiety can all be brought on by abandonment issues.

These problems have an impact on friendships, love relationships, jobs, and day-to-day living. Despite how it may seem, you are not alone if you have been abandoned.
The OP of today's story shared how her biological father died when she was 5 years old. Three years later, her mom remarried, only to send the OP away to live with her father’s sister, who lived a state away.
All this because her husband didn’t want the OP to live there anymore. OP's aunt and uncle worked low-paying jobs and had two of their own children, but they still treated her like family.
She rarely saw or heard from her mom till she grew up and got married. Before then, OP's mom already had three children for her stepdad, and they were living a luxurious life.
Later on, OP's mom showed up at her aunt’s house, begging for financial help. Apparently, OP's stepdad suffered from a gambling addiction a few years ago and lost all their savings.
Now they're facing homelessness, and OP's mom needs her financial assistance. Mind you, the OP and her husband own their own home, have several very profitable investments, and work high-paying jobs.
She refused to help her mom, and you can read the full story below.
The OP kicks off her story
They used to pay OP's aunt some money to watch her but when she was 14, that stopped
They all contributed to helping the OP's aunt/uncle to finally purchase their own home
They have reached out multiple times trying to get them to convince the OP to change her mind
The Reddit post got more than a thousand comments and here are a bunch of them
A royally messy move
They have assets they can sell
From a Redditor who wants the OP to get a restraining order
NTA. 2 words....restraining order.
You’ve made it clear you do not wish to speak to them. You’ve made it clear you want no relationship with them. Make sure you very specifically tell them this in person… Over the phone… And in writing through texting.
Tell them they are to cease-and-desist any and all attempts to contact you or your family members. If they don’t, follow through with the restraining order, or at least see an attorney to have them issue a cease and desist letter to your ex-family.
Then continue with the lovely life that you have built with the family who has cared for you.
She's not the OP's mom
The OP owes them nothing
They are a bunch of strangers
OP's mom had no part in her upbringing
The OP owes them no cent
Due to the fact that OP's stepfather didn't want her around, they essentially moved her to the farm. They then had additional children and a happy family without giving the OP a second thought.
Many Redditors agreed that the OP is no longer related to them. OP's family are the aunts, uncles, and cousins who raised and looked after her.
The OP was told not to give her mom any money at all, and she shouldn't even pay attention to their half-baked apologies or requests.
