In the message shared online, the girl’s mother criticized her decision to move out, writing:
“I see you got your stupid little apartment.”

She went on to accuse her daughter of being ungrateful despite earning a significant income, adding,
“You’re making all that money a month and can’t help your mother. I don’t want you back around me.”

The tone of the message shocked many viewers, who described it as emotionally manipulative and unsupportive.
From Struggle to Success

In a follow-up video, Shopwithlee revealed that her mother had kicked her out at age 16. Determined to survive, she worked hard and managed to rent her own apartment, buy a car, and build a career that now earns her over $20,000 monthly.

Despite her mother’s harsh words, the young entrepreneur has chosen to focus on her achievements and independence.

In another message, the mother appeared to curse her, saying,
“You won’t make it anywhere in life. I bet that 😂.”
To which the teen calmly replied, “That’s rude to say.”
Reactions Online

The story has sparked widespread discussion on TikTok and other social media platforms, with many users praising the young woman’s resilience and courage. Others condemned the mother’s response, urging parents to celebrate their children’s success rather than compete with or guilt-trip them.

Accompanied by photos of her new apartment and car, Shopwithlee’s story stands as a powerful example of determination, independence, and emotional strength in the face of adversity.
