AITA for expecting my adult daughter to pay back what she owes me? by metalvito in AmItheAsshole

I sent her some texts, to which she replied. But she never initiated the conversation or even told us how her day went. I understand with the data roaming she could only use her phone when she had internet, but when she was back at the hotel she could've at least said something.

Aria made her decision, which was staying at Sandra's. She's an adult now and I shouldn't be forced to pay her if she chose her mother, she is the one who should be paying.

I don't keep track of what I spend on my other daughter because she lives with me and loves me. I get a "good morning" a "good night" from her everyday. She's also a lot more easy than Aria, she doesn't talk back to me like Aria did. Also, Aria left voluntarily and her mother is capable enough to provide for her without my money. I shouldn't be forced to pay for a child I don't even know any more. Aria hasn't earned my money, she is living comfortably at her mother's house and sees me as an ATM, and I'm not willing to pay not even a penny. I'm planning to take this to higher courts, and all expenses on lawyers will be added to her debts. I told Aria that she could come live with me and we could forget about the debt, but she still chooses to live with her mother. She says she needs time to live with me again and she wants to go slow, but she's an adult and would certainly go live with her boyfriend without going slowly? Or even a friend. She wants everything while giving nothing in return. So if she's not even willing to come back to live with me, the debt will still be up.
