His Dad’s Ex-Girlfriend Just Reached Out To Him To Ask If He Can Raise Her Daughters, But He Said No

Back when this young man was 13, his dad began dating a woman named Anna, and his dad’s relationship with Anna was pretty on again and off again over the years.
For one 2-year stretch that Anna and his dad were broken up, Anna gave birth to a little girl and then got pregnant with her second daughter.
His dad wound up getting back with Anna during her pregnancy, and they remained together from there. Anna did live with his dad as well, except for the 2 year period when they were not with one another.
But, all the other times that Anna and his dad broke up happened while they all lived under one roof, and it was hard on him.
When Anna and his dad would break up, they would invite different people over to the house and would act in ways that were awful and poisonous.
As soon as he turned 17, he left home to live with his grandparents.
“It was a lot for me,” he explained. “I had never bonded or had any kind of love for Anna or her girls while I lived with them.”
“I was just trying to survive the upheaval my dad was putting me through. I don’t even remember how old the girls were when I last saw them. Pretty small, though. A few times, dad would tell me to be their big brother or whatever, but he was more wrapped up in Anna.”
“They broke up a few months before he died two years ago. He and I weren’t really talking in the last year of his life.”

Pretty recently, Anna found herself diagnosed with a neurological disease, and Anna has since asked his grandparents if they can step in to raise her daughters when she passes away.
Anna has no family and no friends, and his grandparents were kind of her only hope. Anna also does not know who the fathers of her children are.
His grandparents replied back to Anna that they don’t want to raise her girls because they have never had a relationship with the girls at all.
After his grandparents turned Anna down, she managed to find him on social media, where she sent him a message saying she had to speak to him about an important matter.
“She explained to me that she’s sick, and I could see it in the way she was walking and talking, and she knows the girls are too young to survive when she gets worse, and she wants better for them,” he said.
“She said after years of being their brother and of living with them, she wanted me to take her girls and raise them and let them visit her, but once she’s gone, to be the family they don’t have otherwise.”
“I was shocked…if I’m honest, because Anna was asking for something huge for me for people who were essentially strangers. We were never a family, but she was acting like we had been at some point. She saw how I was reacting and said my dad would have wanted me to do this and to think about how I lost my mom and dad and how I should consider her girls.”
Anna simply infuriated him with how she handled the situation. He informed her that he wanted nothing to do with her kids before walking right off.
As he walked away, Anna called him a mean name before saying it will be his fault when her girls end up in foster care moving from home to home.
He’s left wondering if it was wrong of him to tell Anna he’s not going to take in her girls.
What do you think; should he change his mind and help them?
