AITA For Enjoying My Vacation While My Husband Dealt With Our Daughter's Crisis

by Davy

In a heartfelt and controversial story shared on Reddit, a 60-year-old woman recounts her recent experience of balancing a long-anticipated vacation with her husband against the ongoing challenges of caring for their troubled adult daughter. The couple, who rarely take time off together, embarked on a trip to visit the woman's sister in another province.

However, the vacation quickly became a point of contention when their daughter, who is recovering from severe substance use disorder, relapsed in their absence, causing chaos at home. With the husband feeling the urgent need to return, the woman faced a difficult decision: cut the trip short or stay and enjoy the vacation she had planned for so long.

The husband's intuition about their daughter's state proved correct. Shortly after arriving at their destination, they received alarming news from their son.

He discovered their daughter high, the house in shambles, and a stranger and their dog inside, which had led to severe flooding damage. Despite the immediate crisis, the woman decided to stay behind while her husband flew back to manage the situation, a decision that has sparked significant criticism from their other children and prompted her to question her own actions.
