And for a few days, her parents did. Afterward, though, they approached her again– and that time, they took a different approach.
“They call me and tell me to think about how good it will look for me, the betrayed sister and ex-fiancée, to have enough love and compassion to raise the child that was conceived out of said betrayal and love them and be the best mom to that child who could exist,” she explained.
Her parents also claimed that people would look at her as if she were a saint.
Honestly, though, she told her parents that she was not a saint and didn’t want to be. She does not need to be viewed as an incredibly selfless person, and she also does not want to raise her sister’s child just to curate that appearance to other people.
Yet, ever since she told her parents that, they have not stopped accusing her of being heartless. They also asked how she could just not care at all about her sister’s child– who is still her flesh and blood– while they get moved throughout the foster care system.
“They said I should not be able to turn my back on my family like this, and I should have more compassion for them, who were told by CPS they will not be allowed to raise their grandchild,” she vented.
So now, with her parents’ comments weighing on her mind, she’s been left wondering whether refusing to raise her sister’s child makes her a real jerk or not.
Is it her job to raise her sister’s child? Even if it would prevent the kid from living in foster care, do you think she is the best person– being that her sister’s kid would sadly be a constant reminder of the betrayal and anguish she experienced? What do you think about her parents claiming she should raise the child to look good? Did she have a right to refuse?
