If you are a princess-your mom may have abdicated with you--if she was the queen. Is your word actually abduct? (meaning she stole you away) If that is the case, put a comma after the word four, (because it's a clause). Then it makes perfect sense.

Abdicate is not the right word.
Abandon is a possibility, but has a strongly negative connotation.
Relinquish could work, if used in a sentence like "When I was four, my mom was forced to relinquish me to the State."

Abdicate means to renounce or give up a throne. Does it make sense to say,
"When I was four my mom was forced to give up a throne me."? No, that is senseless.

Yes it makes sense. Abdicate means to give up.
Take a scenario that includes a divorded lady, losing her 4-yr old child to her ex's custody.
The statement you made does apply to this scenario.

No!
Where did the sentence come from? What is its context? Does its context help you to understand if "lloosing a thrown" have any relevance?
Read it in context. This may help.

makes sense but why would she surrender you? or make you give up your throne(in your case the future right to the family jewels?)
