She got abandoned there aged about 8-9 and she was about 19-20 in TFA so she spent under half of her life as a scavenger, and during that time she was given food and supplies from that alien guy played by Simon Pegg.
Did they abandon her? If so I had no idea, and also you have good point about her father.

As much as I hate to admit it, I did watch Rise Of Skywalker (I feel like throwing up just thinking about it) and yes, Rey's parents left her with a slaver and doomed her to be a scavenger rather than simply run away with her.
If you haven't seen ROS I'd advise that you don't. You're not missing anything and I don't want your sanity to be hurt by the sheer stupidity of that film.
