Her Husband’s Estranged Father Passed Away, Left Behind Children Her Husband Never Knew About, And Her Husband Was Named Their Guardian, But They Are Refusing To Raise The Kids
When this woman’s husband was just seventeen-years-old, his mother fell ill and sadly passed away. On top of dealing with the grief of losing his mom, though, he also discovered some disgusting news– while his mother was sick, his father had been having an affair.
Her husband’s father even went on to marry his mistress afterward– something that her husband could never forgive his father for. So, her husband cut off contact, and the father-son duo has been estranged ever since.
Well, about three months ago, she and her husband were unexpectedly hit with even more drama from her father-in-law’s past.
Apparently, her husband’s father and the mistress had two children after they got married– meaning that her husband had two younger half-siblings he never knew about.
Plus, he only found out about his half-siblings because his father and his father’s mistress passed away in a car accident. And for whatever reason, her husband had been secretly designated the children’s guardian in the event of his father’s death.
So, completely out of the blue, she and her husband were hit with a call, both informing them of the news and asking if they would be willing to take in her husband’s half-siblings. To be honest, though, her husband said hell no.
“My husband told the person who called that he was not willing to become their guardian. The person understood and what ended up happening is my husband’s aunt took the kids. This is his father’s sister,” she explained.
Ever since initially refusing, though, she and her husband have been repeatedly harassed by her husband’s aunt.
The aunt still wants her husband to take in the kids and has called him countless times about it. The aunt keeps trying to convince him to first meet the kids, then form a relationship with his half-siblings and see if he would be interested in taking them in after all.

Her husband has absolutely no interest in doing that, though, and made it very clear to his aunt. So eventually, he was forced to stop responding to his aunt’s calls and actually block his aunt’s number altogether.
Despite that, though, her husband’s aunt did not stop. Instead, the aunt moved on to harass her.
It first began while she was working, and her husband’s aunt showed up at her house. The aunt claimed they needed to talk, then proceeded to actually tell her that she could decide for her husband and “be the person to make the first step.”
“My husband’s aunt also told me the kids were just as much my responsibility as they are my husband’s and that they are children who are orphaned and don’t need the family history being the reason they never know their brother,” she recalled.
She ended up telling her husband’s aunt off, though, by first saying that raising the kids is in no way her responsibility. Additionally, she said that if her husband was not interested in knowing and raising his siblings, she would never go behind her husband’s back and agree to take them in.
Then, she noted how if her husband’s aunt does not want the kids, then she should just say so.
“But, my husband’s aunt should not try to force the kids into a home where they are unwanted and unloved,” she said.
Finally, she told her husband’s aunt that, yes, the situation was tragic for the children. At the end of the day, though, that was not her or her husband’s doing, and the kids are just not their responsibility.
If you could not have guessed, though, her husband’s aunt did not take any of this well. Instead, she got accused of being heartless. Then, her husband’s aunt said that as a woman, she should be ashamed to have a partner “who would discard flesh and blood children over the actions of adults.”
She was sick of hearing it, though, and made her husband’s aunt leave after that comment.
“I had to then also block her on my work phone because she attempted to reach me there to tell me that, once again, I am this bad person,” she vented.
Anyway, she still believes that her husband is entitled to his own feelings about this situation and does not need to take the kids in if he does not want to.
At the same time, though, the comments her husband’s aunt made about her own responsibility in the situation have stuck with her.
So now, she has been left wondering if telling her husband’s aunt that she is not responsible for the kids was the wrong thing to do or not.
Do you think she had a right to tell her husband’s aunt off or not? Even if she accepts the responsibility of raising the kids in this situation, what would she be able to do about her husband’s feelings? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
