A Reddit user, u/throra2762, recently shared a story on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit about her challenging co-parenting situation.

After her divorce, her ex-husband, Brian, initially made efforts to be a good father to their daughter, Sam. However, Brian's involvement declined over the years, leading to neglect of his responsibilities, including child support, and emotional hurt for Sam.

The story took a dramatic turn when Sam's paternal grandparents organized a celebratory lunch for her, following her international field hockey success.

During lunch, Brian arrived late and belittled Sam's accomplishments, causing her to cry and prompting her mother to leave with her. This led to a heated argument between the OP and Brian. She accused him of neglect and called him a "deadbeat" in front of his parents.

Now, the Reddit user seeks opinions on whether she was wrong for her outburst. For more details and community responses, keep reading.
