Woman Asks if She’s a Jerk for Refusing to Talk to Her Parents After They Abandoned Her

You’ve probably heard that saying before, right?

Well, you’re about to read a very interesting story from Reddit’s “Am I the A**hole?” page from a young woman who is struggling with whether she is wrong for not having anything to do with their parents who abandoned her.

Let’s see what she has to say.

AITA for never visiting or calling my parents after they abandoned me?

“My parents told me (20F) that I’m not longer welcome to live at home once I turned 18 since I’m an adult.

I go to college across the country, and I never call or visit them. Every long weekend and holiday break, when every other student goes home to their families, I stay at school or go hang out at my friends and their families. During summer vacation, I travel with my friends around the country or do summer study abroad.

My parents complain bitterly to our extended family that their only child never wants to see or talk to them. They way I see it, they disowned me and abandoned me when I turned 18. I have no interest in seeing them.

They showed they don’t actually care about me or want me as a daughter, so I’ll stay with my friends who actually have good parents and who are appalled by my own parents, or I’ll travel the world instead. I don’t need my parents, and they clearly don’t want me as their daughter.
