Her Sister Urgently Needs A Kidney Transplant To Survive, But She Won’t Donate Because Her Sister Relentlessly Bullied Her During Childhood
This woman is 28-years-old, and she’s found herself in a really tough situation with her sister, who is 30-years-old and currently battling kidney failure.
Apparently, her sister has been ill for the past year, and they recently found out that, in order to survive, her sister urgently needs a kidney transplant.
While she may have the ability to save her sister’s life, though, she simply cannot get over how bad their relationship was as kids.
According to her, her sister was just a bully during their childhood and made her life absolutely miserable.
“My sister constantly belittled me, called me names, and even physically bullied me,” she recalled.
Her sister never let up, either, and the repeated bullying left her with a lot of emotional trauma that she’s still working to get over to this day.
But, despite how much pain her sister caused her, she has tried to forgive and move forward. However, it’s been pretty difficult, seeing as how her sister has never apologized or seemed remorseful for any of the bullying– not even once.
Now that her sister is terminally ill, her whole family has rushed to support her sister, too. Plus, her family members have begun pressuring her to donate one of her kidneys– saying that she’s the only chance her sister has.
On top of that, they even claimed that she would be “heartless” to refuse to help out her sister.

“But I can’t shake the feeling of resentment towards her,” she admitted.
She realizes that her sister’s life is hanging in the balance. Still, she doesn’t think she should have to sacrifice a physical part of herself to save someone who was never actually kind or compassionate toward her.
“I know it sounds selfish,” she vented, “But I just can’t bring myself to do it.”
Obviously, refusing to donate her kidney to her sister could have dire consequences– including her sister’s potential death, as well as damage to the rest of her familial relationships.
Still, she just cannot move beyond their troubled past, and now, she’s been left wondering if refusing to donate her kidney because of the bullying is really the wrong thing to do.
Do you think she should donate her kidney to save her sister’s life? Or might she hold onto even more resentment if she goes through with it? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
