So, in the short term, Sandra asked if Malcolm would move in with them for the transition period. Then, he would have access to Sandra’s sizable life insurance policy, and savings account in order to take care of Elena.
“And to my surprise, he agreed to all of this without consulting me,” she said.
Now, it is crucial to note that she and Malcolm have actually only been together for about six months. Regardless, she apparently still felt like she should have been asked before he accepted guardianship of his half-sister.
On top of that, she also asked her boyfriend if he felt too young to be taking on all of that responsibility. And while Malcolm admitted that he did feel a bit young, he claimed that he was still going to do it for Elena.
Afterward, she claimed that without any further discussion, her boyfriend subleased his apartment before moving in with Sandra and Elena.
Then, this past Saturday, she decided to stop by Sandra’s home to pick up Malcolm for lunch. By the time she arrived, though, her boyfriend still had not gotten home from work.
So, she waited for him with Sandra and started making some small talk. During their conversation, Sandra also expressed her gratitude for Malcolm and called him a really sweet boy.
And at that moment, she seemingly decided to confront Sandra about the decision to make her boyfriend Elena’s guardian.
First, she asked if her boyfriend was really the only option and brought up Malcom’s mother instead. Sandra, though, claimed that Elena was already losing enough. So, it did not feel fair to force the 12-year-old to move abroad on top of the grief or ask Malcolm’s mother to move back to raise Elena.
She was not very understanding of Sandra’s reasoning, though, and wound up telling the mother off.
“I said I found the whole thing a little selfish,” she revealed.
