This is something that one teenager was struggling with after her mom came back into her life after she cut her off when she was 12 as her new husband at the time didn't want her to have any contact with her ex and daughter's father. After divorcing this man six years later, she decided she wanted to be back in the life of her daughter but struggled to adapt to their new relationship. When the now 18-year-old pushed back at her criticizing a book she was reading, she wondered if she should have been gentler with her mom.

AITA for reminding my mom that she disappeared for six years?

Unsurprisingly, few people had sympathies with mom.
