Abby’s father tried to rebook the holiday, but other people had already filled their spot, and there was no place for them at the destination.
The OP said Abby and her father thought she was wrong for canceling the vacation, but most of the OP’s friends agreed with her approach. She turned to Reddit users to ask their opinions on her predicament. Many agreed with the OP.
The post also reached Facebook, where even more people commented on the situation.
One said although it was a difficult decision, she had done the right thing. Another said Abby’s father seemed like a bad influence and continued:
“Let the daughter sulk — sooner or later, she’ll realize who her real parent is, i.e., the one who actually cares about what she does.”
Many commenters said they would be ashamed if their children had acted similarly and were proud of the OP for how she had handled the situation. Another suggested family counseling for Abby, her mother, and her father.
Others believed Betty deserved a “real friend.”
