Adult daughter goes no contact after entitled dad demands she repay him $2k child support: 'He just took my sister on a week long trip to Bali'

It is an unfortunate truth that there are a great number of parents out there who do not live up to the job description of being a parent, and more often than not, that is something that their kids have to deal with for the rest of their lives. Many display the kind of behavior that means the only respite their children are going to have from them is if they choose to go no contact, and that can be easier said than done.

These types of people are often not so great at managing other areas of their lives, not just parenthood, and it can be their kids who suffer for that, too. Plenty of deadbeat parents decide that their adult children are the best resource when it comes to getting money, and being on the receiving end of such a request can add a lot of pressure to an already strained relationship.

Refusal may not always be easy, but it is frequently the best option. It isn't worth giving back to those who barely gave to you in the first place.

This was how one woman felt after her father demanded she pay him back for the child support that he gave her mother while she was growing up. As she had a job as a restaurant supervisor, he reasoned she must have the money.
She refused, not only because she was opposed to the idea but also because she knew he had just recently taken her younger sister on vacation abroad. She chose to cut contact with him, and vented her frustrations.
My dad told me I should pay him back for the child support
