A woman faced a bleak future after her father abandoned the family, leaving her mother to resort to morally questionable jobs to support her children. On May 16, 2023, a 26-year-old woman shared her story on the “AITAH” subreddit. Her father left when she was five, and her mother turned to stripping and other jobs to ensure her kids’ education.

Despite her mother’s sacrifices, the woman and her brother managed to attend school and later found part-time jobs to help with finances. Her mother eventually quit stripping and became a waitress.

In college, the woman met her fiancé, Javi, but kept her mother’s past a secret. When Javi’s uncle recognized her mother as a former client, Javi accused the woman of being a gold digger, leading to a breakup. Despite Javi’s family’s pressure to reconcile without involving her mother, she chose to end the relationship, defending her mother’s sacrifices.

In an update, the woman expressed gratitude for the online support and resolved to repay Javi’s financial contributions to her brother’s education, standing firm against prejudice and defending her family’s integrity.
