She’s Refusing To Donate Her Kidney To Her Estranged Sister Because Her Sister Kept Her Biological Child Away From Her For Years
When this 29-year-old woman was a teenager, she admitted that she was “reckless.” At the age of 17, she wound up getting pregnant, and she was honestly terrified.
Her parents were also on the conservative side, so her older sister Alice– who was 27 at the time– stepped in to help her out.
Apparently, Alice was married and unable to have children. So, she was convinced to allow her sister to adopt her baby. That way, her child could be kept in the family.
“Alice made me promise not to tell anyone that the child was biologically mine and to always act as the ‘aunt,'” she recalled.
Once she agreed, though, things quickly spiraled out of control. After her daughter, Emily, was born, her sister moved away once Emily turned just 2-years-old.
Then, after her sister was no longer living locally, she was only allowed to keep minimal contact with her daughter.
On top of that, her sister changed her daughter’s last name, and Emily was told that her biological mother had passed away in a tragic accident!
Now, she was not okay with this, but her sister Alice didn’t care.
“I confronted Alice, and she said it was ‘for the best’ and cut contact completely,” she revealed.

It wasn’t until just last year when her daughter Emily, who is now 12, found out the truth. Emily reached out to her, too, and was extremely confused and angry.
She tried to explain the situation to the best of her ability, but her daughter now harbors resentment against both her and Alice.
Not to mention, the family drama has only escalated ever since Alice was diagnosed with severe kidney issues. In fact, her sister now needs a kidney transplant, and she is actually the only donor match in her family!
This caused her sister Alice to come crawling back– apologizing for everything that happened with her daughter and begging her to consider donating her kidney.
She also got told that the donation wouldn’t just be for Alice but also so that Emily would not lose her mother. This has left her completely torn, and she has no idea what to do.
Some of her sister’s friends and extended family have joined in, too, sending her a ton of messages. Certain people understand why she is conflicted; meanwhile, others have berated her for not donating the kidney to Alice.
“And Emily is conflicted and has expressed that she doesn’t want her mother to die, but also feels a deep-seated anger,” she vented.
As for her husband, he believes that she should just donate her kidney in order to “be the bigger person.” But, her best friend thinks that, after what her sister did, Alice deserves to live with the consequences.
All of these conflicting opinions have not been very helpful, though. So now, she’s been left wondering whether refusing to donate her kidney to her sister after everything that happened with her daughter really makes her a horrible person or not.
How would you feel if your sibling kept your biological child from you for years? Can you understand why she doesn’t want to help Alice out now? Do you think she should be the “bigger person” or go with her gut? What would you do?
