She Won’t Pay For Her Mom’s Surgery Even Though She Can Afford It

A Reddit user shared their story of their estranged mother trying to reconnect so that she could have her surgery paid for.

The original poster (OP) said that she lost her father when she was  young and a few months after his death, her mom married a new guy.

The new guy already had two teenage boys and didn’t want to raise OP because he never wanted daughters.

OP’s mother abandoned her with her and took her brother to live with her new husband. OP’s stepfather was wealthy and would spoil her mother and brother, but never OP.

Her mother didn’t do anything for her either, she came to visit once a month and didn’t call on Christmas or New Year’s.

In the time since, OP got a better job with a better salary and was able to help her aunt and uncle renovate their house.
