My entitled Toxic Father, quite literally broke my daughter's phone and is now refusing to pay for it. And now I'm being called the jerk all because I'm demanding that he paid for it as it simply would be the right thing to do. But with my family turning against me, I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. And at this point, I don't know what to do. Here's what's going on.

leave, my daughter went to grab her phone and started screaming and crying. I then ran in and I saw

that my daughter's charging port was completely destroyed. The bottom of the screen was cracked and the

lower phone frame was dented. My dad casually

mentioned that he tried to charge her phone for her and that simply didn't work. I then yelled at
