Teen Breaks Off Relationship with Adoptive Family After Being Overlooked for $350 Toy Purchase

An 18-year-old girl revealed that she has cut off her adoptive parents after they missed almost all of her graduation to buy their biological daughter a “super rare” Labubu doll.

Taking to Reddit’s popular “Am I the A**hole” subreddit, the teen said that she felt “justified” about cutting off her parents, but wanted a second opinion.

She explained that her parents had fertility struggles when they adopted her as a baby. Eight years later, they welcomed their “miracle” baby, whom she referred to as Princess, now 10.

“Princess was spoiled and clearly the favorite. She never got in trouble, was always right, got WHATEVER she wanted and acted HOWEVER she wanted,” she explained.

While she didn’t say she was mistreated, she wrote that she felt “jealous” of the extra attention and gifts given to her younger sister.

The recent graduate said that she mostly stays out of the house to cut contact with Princess.

“Now I have a car and a boyfriend (since sophomore year). I stay with him a lot and his family loves me so I’m barely home, maybe 24 hours at most weekly. My parents didn’t care and this was my normal so I stopped caring too,” she wrote.

The situation took a turn for the worse on the day of her graduation, which the teen said was “one of the few things I asked my parents to come to.”

Her excitement about the day was dulled when Princess found a way to “ruin” it.

“See her current obsession are these doll plush keychains called Labubus, she collects them and that specific day, she found this super rare one for sale in our city,” she wrote. “Now instead of contacting the seller and buying it the next day, my parents went to go get it.”

She continued, saying that they showed up so late for graduation that the students were already tossing their caps.

Making it worse, she shared that the Labubu cost $350, and her graduation gift from her parents was $150.

“I was hurt. After graduation, I ignored them and went home with my boyfriend. I’ve basically moved in with him at this point since anytime I went back ‘home’ it was to get my things to go back. My parents called, texted, apologized, even came over and begged me to forgive them, worst part of it all, they think it’s the money and sent me another hundred dollars. I refused to talk to them,” she wrote.

She said the situation is getting more “serious,” adding that her parents were “threatening to report me as missing/ a runaway and contact my future college if I don’t go back home.”

Many Reddit users rushed to assure the teen that her actions were entirely justified.
