“You deserve to live your life and have your hopes and dreams too. Your parents should have dealt with this possibility a lot sooner because life just happens, as you can see… Also, to spring this on you is honestly unfair and not right.”
“Then add the stress of what it’s doing to your sister. They should have had a better plan for her future.”
“It’s unfortunate but you can only really be expected to make that kind of life-altering sacrifice for a child you chose to have, and most parents don’t manage that.”
“You, your mother, and your sister should try to sit down and find a care option that you can all live with if possible so your mother can have peace at the end of her life.”
“Fostering and kinship care are very romanticized in our culture. The truth is, it is hard af, and there are those who are gifted with the ability to do it and those who are not.”
“If someone is not gifted with this ability, the stress on them will build and build to a breaking point. At that point, no one wins. I think that it’s good that you know what you know about yourself NOW.”
“I am deeply sorry for the loss of your dad and the impending loss of your mom. I truly hope for a solution to this that blesses both you and your sister.”
