Her Grandparents Have Been Harassing Her Mom To Take In Her Late Dad's Affair Child

Five years ago, this 18-year-old girl's mom and dad got divorced after her mom discovered her dad was cheating and got his affair partner pregnant.

Her dad begged her mom to stay with him, saying he would refuse to be in the affair child's life or that if her mom wanted, they could raise that child together, whatever her mom preferred.

Her dad then tried to rope her and her younger siblings into all of this drama, and they all firmly said they didn't want anything to do with his affair child.

Her mom went forward with the divorce, and in court, she said she wanted her mom to have full custody of her, which was granted.

As for her siblings, they spent a few years spending time with their dad but then said they didn't want to visit him anymore.

"In that time, Dad had moved in with the affair partner but tried to use my siblings to get Mom and him back together," she explained.

"They didn't want that to happen and mom was furious at him for using the kids. His youngest daughter was born around that time. I never met her, but my siblings did, though they never formed a relationship with her."

"Dad's affair partner left and hasn't been a part of his daughter's life since. Dad died 14 weeks ago. His daughter went to live with my paternal grandparents, who we don't really see because they were angry at Mom for the divorce, and they felt we were too hard on Dad, who didn't just cheat but tried to use his kids to keep his marriage together."

Just one week after her dad's passing, her grandparents contacted her mom to ask that she take in her dad's affair child and raise the little girl as her own.

Her mom wasted no time saying no, but her grandparents didn't accept that as an answer. They have since been basically harassing her mom to take the child in. Her grandparents tried a new guilt-tripping tactic and said to her mom that if she refuses to take the little girl, the little girl won't have a parent or siblings.

"They told mom their granddaughter should be part of our (mine and siblings) family and life, and we should be part of hers," she said.

"Mom said that she wasn't going to force us, and she told them it did not mean she would raise her late ex-husband's child from his affair. They called my mom selfish, heartless, evil...all kinds of insults."

This has been going on for several weeks, and although her mom has blocked her grandparents, they constantly come up with new ways to reach her.

When her grandparents began publicly speaking about her mom's refusal to take the little girl in, accusing her of being the reason the little girl will go into foster care, she stepped in.

She confronted her grandparents and told them to take a hike because her mom shouldn't be responsible for her dad's affair child.

"I said he was a terrible person, and mom did not have to do a thing for his child, and they had zero right to harass her to take responsibility," she continued.

"They were so offended and angry and told me I had no right to be so disrespectful to them."

She's left wondering if it was wrong of her to intervene and stand her ground against her grandparents.
