Families are complex, with each dynamic presenting its own set of obstacles. Many people rejoice when they welcome a new family member. However, if the pattern of unwanted pregnancies continues, even the strongest familial relationships might be tested.
One man explained what was happening to him.
My younger sister had her first child at 15 and her second at 17. They are my children now. I was their guardian, and eventually adopted them.
I did not want children, but now I have three. One biological error was the biggest blunder I’ve ever made. I adore her more than anyone in the world. Except maybe for her two brothers and my wife.
I just want to say that I don’t care how many men my sister hooks up with. I am just cleaning up after her.
She’s 25 now and pregnant again. Her “boyfriend” (47) turned out to be married and fled when she informed him.
My parents had basically written her off. So she will not be receiving anything from them. She came by to grieve about her life.
I promised her I would help her if she terminated and had her tubes tied. She called me a monster for recommending abortion. Alternatively, she lacks the opportunity to start a family.
I agree that I’m a monster. On her way out the door, she requested some petrol money. I informed her she understood what she needed to do to obtain any assistance from me.
She stated that she assumed that was for genuine assistance, not $20 for petrol. I told her that if that wasn’t true help, she didn’t need it, and I closed the door on her.
She’s been trying to persuade me to alter my mind for a week, but I’m done. I adore that woman, but I will not raise another child for her.
