[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I’m starting to realize it’s about money. Her dad and stepmom bought her expensive gifts for Christmas and gifted her $1000 as well. Plus they’re currently in Saint Martin. I know it’s not a competition, but [b]I really can’t compete with that in her eyes[/b].[/quote]

I mean if she prioritizes $$ and other superficial things then fine, have at it. Hopefully she grows up and realizes how valuable other things like unconditional love are, even if they are boring. Unfortunately, she has an a-hole for a dad so [b]she may well end up being an a-hole herself. Be prepared for that outcome.[/b][/quote]

Our family it is the opposite - mom is the one with family money. All her life girl was told she could have anything material she wanted, in fact, even as a young child they bragged and told her point-blank she would never have to work a day in her life if she didn't want to since there was plenty of money just waiting for her. At the age of 23 they bought her a four-bedroom suburban home and a few years later, a beach place.

Dad, from a middle class family, had no way to compete with that. Mom made sure that girl learned her father, and his entire family, had no "value" and she didn't need to maintain relationships with any of them. Since mom was picking up the tab for all these luxuries, what child (even as an adult) would NOT side with the money bags?!

And yes, she wound up being an a-hole.
