She’s Saying No To Raising Her Late Sister’s Child Because The Kid Was Born Out Of An Affair Between Her Sister And Her Ex-Fiancé
This 27-year-old woman was once engaged and eager to tie the knot with her fiancé.
But then, everything hit the fan after she found out her fiancé was having an affair with her sister. And what made matters worse was that her sister even wound up pregnant with her fiancé’s baby!
At that point, she decided to cut both her fiancé and her sister out of her life.
“And I declared they were dead to me,” she added.
So, she was estranged from her sister for about five years afterward. During that time, her sister and ex-fiancé did have their child together– who is almost 5-years-old now.
But honestly, she never met the child because she really never wanted to be in the kid’s life. Her parents, on the other hand, were close with their grandchild.
As for her sister and ex-fiancé, they reportedly went on to have a pretty tumultuous relationship– constantly going on again and off again once she was out of the picture.
‘I heard from friends that their breakups were quite explosive,” she said.
That’s why, when her sister and fiancé both died in a car accident quite recently, her loved ones were both shocked yet not surprised.

According to her, the accident kind of made sense to people– because many assumed that her sister and ex were likely arguing and not focusing on the road.
Regardless, the death of her sister and ex-fiancé left their child without parents. So, the kid was placed into foster care.
And even though her parents tried to take in their grandchild, they were denied on the grounds of mobility and overall health. Unfortunately, the child’s paternal relatives did not even try to get custody, either.
That’s why her parents have since turned to her– hoping she would take in her sister’s kid.
But right now, she is in a completely different phase of her life. She has gotten engaged to her new fiancé, Luke, and together, they even purchased their forever home last year.
So, she feels very happy and stable right now. Yet, that’s exactly why her parents think she is the right person to take in their grandchild.
Quite frankly, though, she told her parents point-blank that she was just not the right person to raise her late sister’s kid. She also apologized for that but claimed it was the end of the discussion.
But while her fiancé Luke stood by her decision, her parents still went behind her back and tried to convince Luke to side with them.
Thankfully, Luke did tell her right after her parents approached him. So, she was able to put her foot down and tell her parents to cut it out.
Still, though, they have not stopped begging her to reconsider– telling her to imagine how nice it would be to forge a relationship with the child and be there for them.
But, she stuck to her guns and told her parents that was not her job. She also told them to let it go one last time.
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?
