Season 15 of 7 Little Johnstons has put a spotlight on Anna Johnston’s growing rift with her parents, Trent and Amber.
One major breaking point? Their shared college experience.
Anna and Amber both attended the same school and were set to graduate together. But instead of making it a moment of celebration, Anna felt like she was in constant competition with her mom.
“It felt like a competition with me,” Anna admitted in a confessional.
Anna shared that her mother always compared grades. She often asked why Anna wasn’t getting honors. This made Anna feel overshadowed.
“It took away from my college experience, and I just didn’t want to celebrate it with her.”
Rather than walk across the stage together, Anna chose to skip the graduation ceremony altogether.
But while Anna was clear about her frustrations, Amber had a different take on the situation.
7 Little Johnstons: Amber Johnston Fires Back: “We’re Tired of Playing That Game”
According to Amber, the real issue isn’t just graduation-it’s Anna Johnston’s pattern of behavior.
“We’re tired of going along with Anna’s ‘snap out of it,’ and then we have maybe three, four, maybe five weeks if we’re lucky of Anna being happy and wanting to be around the family,” Amber claimed.
She described a cycle where Anna would be distant and upset, then suddenly reconnect, only to pull away again.
“Then we get right back into Anna hating every one of us and not speaking to us. We’re tired of playing that game.”
Amber’s blunt assessment made it clear-the Johnston parents feel exhausted by the ongoing family tension. But Anna doesn’t believe she’s the problem.

7 Little Johnstons Anna Johnston Calls Out Her Parents: “I Don’t Give Two *”
In the season finale, Anna Johnston dropped a bombshell about how she really feels about her parents’ treatment of her.
“From the outside, it looks like my family is very welcoming, and I am not being very [welcoming] back,” Anna explained.
She accused her parents of holding grudges for as long as they wanted, only to suddenly expect her to move on once they were ready to talk.
“But when they’re finally over it and they decide they want to talk to me, they expect me to forget about it.”
But Anna isn’t backing down anymore.
“So like, I’m at the point where it’s like, **… I live by myself, I don’t give two ***.”
Anna made it clear she won’t pretend things are okay. She wants her parents to sit down and talk to her like adults. No arguing or yelling, just a calm conversation.
“Until they come up to me and talk to me… no.”

7 Little Johnstons: Jonah Johnston Calls Out Anna’s “Attitude” at Graduation Party
Despite the ongoing family rift, the Johnstons still threw Anna a graduation party-but the mood was tense.
Anna’s brother, Jonah Johnston, noticed that his sister wasn’t in a celebratory mood.
“Are you excited to graduate? I just couldn’t tell if you were at a funeral or at a graduation,” he joked.
Later, in a confessional, Jonah admitted he felt like Anna could have made more of an effort to be present for the moment.
“Even if you fake it for the moment, just be a little more involved,” he said.
But Anna wasn’t about to pretend.
7 Little Johnstons: Is This the End of Anna’s Relationship With the Johnstons?
While the Johnston family drama has played out on-screen, there’s still no resolution between Anna and her parents.
Her sister, Liz Johnston, recently hinted that fans would see both sides of the story in upcoming episodes.
“There’s a lot that happened that people don’t know about,” Liz teased.
Fans are divided on who to support in this ongoing family feud.
Some believe Anna is being unfairly targeted and that Amber and Trent expect too much control over their adult children.
Others think Anna is the one pulling away and creating unnecessary distance.
One thing is for sure-this family feud isn’t over yet.
7 Little Johnstons: What’s Next for Anna Johnston?
With Anna standing her ground, it’s unclear if she and her parents will ever truly repair their relationship.
“I live by myself, I don’t give two *.”
Will Anna continue to distance herself from her family?
Can Amber and Trent ever mend things with their daughter?
What do YOU think about Anna’s decision to walk away from the family? Should her parents do more to make things right, or is Anna being too stubborn? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
OK here is my comment. Amber has her nose stuck into everyone’s business and tries to control everything they do. She should mind her own business and then maybe she wouldn’t need to go to a shrink. It wouldn’t surprise me if she demanded her kids wear a certain color of underwear. She thinks she is always right about everything when she is wrong about things most of the time. Always making up stupid projects and events for her kids to participate in when you can tell the kids don’t want to do her stupid projects and activities. Every person I know that watches the show call her a nosey busy body that isn’t happy if she can’t control the entire family. I wouldn’t blame Anna if she never talked with Trent and Amber ever again. Trent is too scared to stand up to Amber and does everything she wants him to do. Stay away Anna. Your parents are poison, and Amber will not be happy until she destroys your life since you won’t listen to her demands and do things her way. Amber should continue going to her shrink because it is her that is messed up and has mental problems by trying to control the whole family. She should worry about her beat up furniture painting business. Oh, that’s right that lasted about 5 minutes like every project she undertakes. Mind your own business Amber before you end up in a psychiatric hospital permanently for losing it because you can’t control everyone.
