Some say that a parent’s love must be unconditional. Sadly, it’s not the case for all children — some receive very limited love (if any at all). A good example is today’s OP, who learned that the reason her father didn’t put much effort into growing a relationship with her is because she was a girl. And well, this newly learned knowledge caused some wild and heartbreaking drama for the whole family.

A teen overheard her father saying he didn’t put effort into building a relationship with her just because she was a girl

This broke the girl’s heart, so she told all this to her mother, who kicked her father out

He came back after some time and tried to guilt-trip both the daughter and the mother into forgiving him

He did it a couple of times, but the guilt-tripping didn’t work

So, he ended up slapping his daughter and getting charged with violence against a minor
Then, one day, the teen overheard her dad talking on thephonein theirbackyard. She didn’t pay any attention until she heard her name. It was the dad telling hisfriendthat he wished his daughter was a son, and since she wasn’t, he didn’t really try to build a relationship between them.
Luckily, after the girl told this to her mom, she comforted her, saying that it doesn’t matter that she’s a girl — she would love her either way. Later, the mom confronted the dad, and it ended up with him leaving to stay at the OP’s grandma’s house.
But the story didn’t end there. After some time, the dad came over to talk with the mom and the daughter. He apologized for his words and expressed the intention to be a better father from then on. But this didn’t satisfy the post’s author, as she was confused about how he was planning on ignoring all the damage he had done throughout the years. After all, she’s going toturn 18in a couple of months. So, he left again.

Of course, after some time, he came back again. This time, the dad tried to guilt-trip his daughter and wife into forgiveness. As it didn’t work, he dropped a bomb, saying that he wasn’t interested in building a relationship with his daughter because she wasn’t actually his daughter. In his words, if she was his, she would have been a boy.
Coming back to the story, the daughter told her dad that his theory wasn’t right, and that angered him to the point that he slapped her. The girl didn’t hold back, as she pushed him, and he fell from the porch. The mom called the police, and the dad was taken away to a hospital and later arrested forviolenceagainst a minor.
It’s no wonder that people were shocked after the last update of the story, which ended in violence. In fact, some even stated that they stopped believing that it was true, as it went way too far, way too fast. Others just wished that the OP would be able to move on from such a horrific turn of events, as it must be quite damaging to go through.
So, whether this story is true or not, it’s still quite a wild one. One day, you’re living with an emotionally absent father, and just a little bit later, he’s being charged with assaulting you. At least the mom in the story seems to be a normal parent.
