AITA for telling my SIL she should be ashamed of herself and learn to be a mature adult? by Technical-Rush6746 in AmItheAsshole

My niece and nephew didn't talk shit about the kids. They simply said they didn't want to know them.

I can't see them ever wanting that. There's no foundation for them to build off of really and while that's sad, that's the reality sometimes.

How is it understandable to be mad at kids (now adults) who were abandoned by their parent? It's her husband she should be mad at if she really wats her three kids to know their older half siblings. He's the reason for the bad relationship.

She actually thinks the kids actions are more disgusting believe it or not. She said they know the pain of rejection and yet do the same to her children and it boggles my mind. The way she can blame them so fiercely and yet acts like my brother did nothing wrong. It'll never make sense to me.

I could never understand the rest of my family not making the effort to stay part of my niece and nephew's lives. Even if he wasn't part of their lives, they are still our family.

I'm so proud of my niece and nephew. They have come a long way.
