This 29-year-old woman and her husband had a 4-year-old daughter together, and she’s currently pregnant with their second baby. However, her boyfriend tragically passed away, leaving her a single mother.

She also has an aunt who always wanted to have kids but was never able to. So, her aunt actually started going around and asking anybody in their family who was expecting if she could adopt their babies!

“It has gotten to the point where anyone pregnant will avoid my aunt because she always breaks down when told no,” she revealed.

Her aunt has also been told on multiple occasions to just look into adoption. Nonetheless, her aunt refuses and claims to want a baby that is related by blood.

This created a really awkward situation at her boyfriend’s funeral, too. Apparently, after the service was over, everyone went back to her house.

It was then that her aunt approached her and had the nerve to claim that she should hand over her unborn baby.

“Because coping with two babies without a father is going to be too much for me, and my aunt and my uncle can give my baby a better home,” she recalled.

After hearing all of that come out of her aunt’s mouth, she completely snapped, too. She wound up screaming and saying it was a “good thing” that her aunt couldn’t have any kids because her aunt was just a “delusional idiot.”

This caused her aunt to break down into tears, and her aunt ultimately left with her uncle– who also stopped to call her a bunch of nasty names before they headed out.

Then, the rest of her guests were just shell-shocked by what went down.

Thankfully, her family did take her side and agreed that her aunt was completely out of line and insensitive for making such a request right after she lost her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend’s family, on the other hand, believes that she acted in a “shocking manner” and thinks that she should have pulled her aunt to the side and handled the situation quietly rather than making a scene.

“I did apologize,” she vented, “But they aren’t answering my texts or calls.”

So now, in the wake of losing her boyfriend, she’s been left wondering if telling her aunt off at his funeral was really the wrong thing to do.

How would you feel if you were approached with such an outrageous request right after losing your partner? Did she have a right to snap? How would you have handled this situation?
