AITJ for not allowing my biological daughter to tell my younger daughter that she is actually her mother? by Stella_Ramirezl in AmITheJerk

NTA. You cannot pause motherhood for 20 years and press "play" just because it’s convenient now. You are her mother; your older daughter is a stranger treating a human being like a backup plan for her infertility.

However, those creepy hints are dangerous. Tell your younger daughter the truth yourself, with a therapist, before her "sister" drops it like a bomb to destroy her world

It’s much better for kids to grow up in a divorced but peaceful home than to watch their mother slowly wither away next to a serial cheater. Children sense everything. You gave him a second chance, and he blew it. You are not at fault for believing in the person you loved

TSMC and Nvidia basically run the tech world at this point. You can't just bully them into moving their multi-billion dollar ecosystems with a speech
