Damn this hurt to read. I'm all for teaching libs the lesson they need, but I'm also wrapped very rightly around my daughter's finger and I can't imagine this. I'm very sorry to hear it. Teach her as fathers do, but don't give up on her.

If she cannot find something tell her to do Army, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard.

Hard work but there is a salary, health-care plus three hots and a cot as the saying goes.

I get that starting out after college is a tough time. Finding a job, paying for car, home, etc... but this is excessive AF. No way would my dad have forked over this much, on TOP of auto and health insurance? And THEN moving to an expensive area, among the most pricy in the country ?

It's a wonder all your kids aren't like this.

I agree with those telling you to help her. But I don’t think that help should come regardless of her behavior, which has been reprehensible to this point. Perhaps if you responded to her letter saying you disagree with her assessment of you and that, regardless, you’ll always love her.

Something like that would open the door for her to come back to you, which is the most important thing.

One other thing that is going to be downvoted to oblivion. Are you the type who routinely uses bigoted language about minorities? If so, stop. It’s not a great idea to do so, and certainly not in your daughter’s presence. You make her sound like the typical sky-screaming leftist we are all familiar with, but it’s possible that she is partially right.

This idiot groomer starts a thread on the OT with a reddit article.

Hopefully you are aborting any potential offspring, since that is what your ilk prefers to do since raising kids is so terrible.

She could have said what she needed to say without being ugly about it. I don’t see much appreciation either for the opportunities you and your wife gave her. I hope for your sake she grows up sooner rather than later

One of those college majors huh? What is her degree? Both my kids got engineering degrees. Bet she has a worthless degree.

And......, you will regret in the long run losing your relationship with your daughter. And she will regret losing yours. You only have so many kids and only so much time. Do the right thing.

Typical, you avoid putting any culpability on the daughter.

It’s only one side that ends relationships over politics. Because the side that does that is rooted in mental illness

Why would you ask this? On what basis is this even warranted?

No offense, but you were actually contributing to her fantasy lib existence. This is part of the reason so many college students turn hard left. They live in a bubble on campus where everything is covered and they have no responsibility for their own lives.

Good luck, but first step should be completely cutting all financial assistance including carrying her on your insurances. You'd be amazed how fast earning your way through life changes your political beliefs.

You heard one side of the story. Have you ever encountered the concept that there are two sides to every story?

I was not suggesting it was so; I was just suggesting he should examine his own conduct.

There's one option you may have missed...

You have the age old problem of teaching your kids real world lessons. You definitely are not the first, or last. But she brought politics into it, Marxist politics at that. Keeping in mind the left's idea of compromise or unity is 100% compliance. So your solution does not lie there.

The solution MAY be in merging real world with fatherhood now that politics have soured the relationship.

Continue to support her, especially if the wife inisists. But make her pay you back.

I would literally invoice her. And charge interest (not usury you may even show points taken off and line item it as "daddy discount". I'd make a fake name on the invoice something like "Mom & Dad's Payday Loans".

The benefit to this is it keeps the lines of communication open just in case.

Your predicament is complete cutoff, including communication, or let her continue down a path that will indeed have to end someday.

You get a little bit of both.

He has, which is why he's not supporting her anymore.

I can’t imagine letting something like politics come between me and my children. It’s so easy just to not discuss something that divisive.
