After her daughter embarked on a weight loss journey and became more confident in her skin, she began bullying another girl bigger than her, leaving a mother to make a difficult decision.
A Reddit user wanted the input of others on the platform to ask if she had been too harsh in how she chose to punish her daughter after the young girl, Abby, treated a friend who had a similar problem to Abby. The original poster (OP) explained that she and her daughter’s father had split after he left before Abby was born. Five years later, he returned to their lives and wanted to take responsibility for his daughter.
The court gave Abby’s father 50% custody, and he covered 60% of Abby’s financial needs. He also felt guilty for not being around for the formative years of her life, so he spoiled her. The OP believed being spoiled by her father led to Abby’s pre-teen weight gain, which is a big reason for her post.
What Happened with Abby and Her Mother?
A year before the post, when Abby was 17, she had begun a weight loss journey. Although her mother believed everybody was beautiful, she supported her daughter and incentivized the process. For each milestone Abby reached in her journey, the OP would give her a small gift.
However, a few months before her eighteenth birthday, Abby asked her mother to stop giving her small gifts for each milestone and save them for her birthday. The OP readily agreed. Abby asked that instead of all the small gifts, her mother would pay for a vacation for her and her friends to celebrate her birthday.
