I Spent 25 Years Being The Perfect Daughter. Then I Got Pregnant And They Disowned Me.

Straight A's, Ivy League, perfect job, perfect life. But one unplanned pregnancy and suddenly I was nothing.
Hannah Price is 32 years old, living in Boston. She spent her entire life being perfect for her parents, Richard and Catherine Price. Straight A's through school, captain of debate team, Yale undergrad, Harvard MBA, consultant at McKinsey making $200K at 28. Never partied, never rebelled, never disappointed them. At 30, she met Owen, a freelance photographer. Her parents hated him—he didn't have a "real job," wasn't ambitious enough, wasn't their "type." Hannah dated him anyway, the first thing she'd ever done against their wishes. At 32, Hannah and Owen weren't married yet but were serious. Then Hannah got pregnant. Unplanned but not unwanted. She was excited. Nervous, but excited. She called her parents to tell them. Her mother's response: "You're not married. This is unacceptable. What will people think?" Her father: "We didn't raise you to be irresponsible. You need to handle this." "Handle this" meant abortion. Hannah said no—she wanted the baby. Her parents gave her an ultimatum: "Have an abortion or we're done with you." Hannah chose the baby. Her parents disowned her. Told extended family Hannah had "made choices" and they couldn't support her anymore. Cut her off financially (she didn't need it), cut her off emotionally (she did need it). Refused to meet their grandchild when he was born. Hannah's younger brother Kyle stayed in contact secretly but was afraid to openly support her. For two years, Hannah raised her son Leo with Owen's support, no contact with parents. Then her father had a heart attack. Kyle called: "Dad's in the hospital. He's asking for you." Hannah went. Her father, recovering, said: "I've had time to think. I was wrong. You're my daughter. Can we start over?" Hannah looked at him and said: "You spent 30 years conditioning me to be perfect. And the first time I wasn't, you threw me away. You haven't met your grandson. You haven't been part of my life for two years. Now you're scared you're dying and suddenly you want me back? No. You had a daughter who would have done anything for your approval. Now you have a daughter who doesn't need it anymore."
