Then, one year after her divorce, her ex remarried another woman.
And at that point, she reportedly suffered a lot of child alienation. But, she could not afford to take her ex to court again in hopes of gaining more parental rights.
So, by the time her daughter turned fourteen, she was no longer called “mom.” Instead, she was referred to by her first name; meanwhile, her ex’s new wife– her daughter’s stepmom– was given the title of “mom.”
Understandably, that really hurt. Still, though, she claims to have tried her best to hold onto a relationship with her daughter.
“I went to all the events I could go to. I planned fun days with the limited funds I had, even when I could not afford to turn on the heat. I still made sure to get her a Christmas gift,” she explained.
It appears that those efforts were, unfortunately, not enough, though. Once aged sixteen, her daughter actually wanted nothing to do with her anymore.
And after realizing that, she did decide to take her ex to court one more time. According to her, though, the court did not do anything, and nothing changed.
Plus, the last time she saw her daughter, she claimed that her daughter said some pretty awful things to her. So, she felt really defeated but ultimately decided that she just no longer had a daughter.
“Since that is literally what she wanted,” she said.
Afterward, she ended up moving away and starting over. She met a good man, got married, and they now have two “wonderful” kids together. Completely out of the blue, though, her daughter apparently tried to reach out to her last year.
Her daughter is now twenty-four years old and claimed that she was sorry. Her daughter also asked if they could reconnect and try to rebuild their relationship.
