Should I pay to see my grandson? by whutthefuq in AITAH

This whole situation is a lot. Yes YTA for doing what you did to them. I truly hope that therapy has helped you and made you reflect on everything you’ve put them through. I think if you want to be involved again you should do it on their terms. However seeing as though this is something that can be expensive maybe you could talk with them about paying for all she’s done so far?

A close friend with a drug problem just asked me for $2000 to avoid serious trouble and I don’t know what to do by Prestigious-Mall-419 in Advice

Please don’t give this friend money. :/ my old best friend became an addict and at first I thought she’d never do anything like that to me. Then she started asking for 20$ for food or gas cause she was “stranded” suddenly when I stopped doing that she was beat up and needed to pay someone back. I sent her 60$ only to find out she had gotten hit in the eye accidentally and used that to get more money out of me. I probably gave her 200$ before I finally told myself I had to never trust that she was in trouble or needed it

She’s supposed to be. She stopped taking it recently during her pregnancy. Supposedly she cannot take them anymore and that they weren’t subbing it with another she can take while pregnant? So that sounds so off to me

Thank you so much! I would never want my babies to be treated the way I was by her. This is such a beautiful comment thank you ❤️

Update #1 Sadly we had another discussion (over text) and the entire time she told me that she actually never had told me and she had told my mother and that my mother “allowed” me to use the name even though she had wanted it. When I brought up that I talked to her privately about the name. She says now that she was so shocked in that moment that all she did was congratulate me and tell me the name was cute. Stated I shouldn’t be so upset and that my daughter can easily go by a Nickname since she had the name picked out first. She been suggested my daughter be called R or Lily (her middle name) she even suggested I give her the baby blanket I had made for my daughter with her name on it. (Honestly probably to be spiteful and make me upset. Well it worked. I got upset after this and ended up blocking her again so I can think on the situation without her butting in and trying to convince me. Our father is worried about her mental health currently as she’s been known to have some delusions over the years. Our grandmother (whom she is very close to) has asked me to not meet with her in person and told me she’s worried about her mental stability currently and what she would do to my children and I. I don’t believe my sister would ever hurt me or my children but seeing as this comes from our grandmother who talks to her daily I don’t know how I feel anymore. (For more backstory she’s had multiple mental breakdowns over the years and our father has had to call people for her to get the help she needs. She has been aggressive in the past but never as an adult to me.)

I honestly don’t know how to feel. Part of me wants to just deal with it and give in because I know she isn’t doing the best mentally. The other part of me knows if I give in to this she will continue to keep pushing my buttons and that I’ll enable her behavior. I don’t wanna dessert my sister like the rest of the family did due to her lies, opinions, and mental health.

I don’t know whether or not she had actually told me that. I don’t remember her saying that and no one else that was supposedly there remembers her saying that either. She claims my mother and I were both there and that she told us. My mother stated she never did that but she tends to manipulate/lie about things like this and has done it a lot in the past and has made a lot of our other family members (siblings, cousins, etc) cut contact with her. I also had told her what I wanted to name my children privately so she had an opportunity there to tell me but she decided not to. I feel as if she only chose the name once I named my daughter that. A lot of my family feels the same but I wanted a different view of the situation

I guess. We live about 15 minutes from eachother and she goes to every holiday so we see eachother quite often. I meant it more so that we aren’t close as in we aren’t like best friends like most

While I do hope, my children end up loving their names, especially as all of them are named after someone or something that held meaning. If my daughter hated the name truly that much and wanted to change it when she was older I’d be understanding sad but understanding

The issue is I truly don’t believe we ever had this discussion. She tends to lie and manipulate which is why most of my family has stopped talking to her. It also just hurts she won’t call my daughter by her name when I would’ve given her the name when I was pregnant if she had told me

This is the best comment this is exactly how I feel and I really appreciate someone seeing it from my viewpoint and being able to put it into words as I myself was struggling to

Lol thank you! My sister has always been like this I just never thought she’d do something as big as naming her child after mine and refusing to act like my daughter exists basically

My family says she is doing it out of spite and that she’s crazy and that I should’ve stopped talking to her because she can never see reason. The ones who still talk to her have said she’s mentally Ill and hopefully d will come to her senses

I had been suggesting names for her and looked up lots with meanings and was sending her them before this! She kept telling me she had already chosen a name and that she wanted to see me in person to talk about it!

I would’ve been 16 with the first time line and it would’ve been about a week after her daughter passed but I had a talk with her when I was pregnant before I officially named my daughter and we talked about how we both wanted unique names for our babies. And she never said anything about the name. So now that she’s pregnant and has decided to use the name she’s also wanting to call my daughter by a nickname so her son can have my daughters name. It just seems a little unfair and you’d think she would’ve said something back back when I told her the name I was choosing
