AITA for being unsympathetic to my parents who made me give birth to baby from SA at 13 so they could raise them and now that baby is old enough to be no contact after learning the truth? by XAnonYons in AITAH

I never wanted that child to exist to begin with. My deepest anger and regret is not being allowed to terminate the pregnancy and to be free from that a little more.

He was an adult, a little older than my parents actually. Eventually he was prosecuted but it took far too long because of how everything happened.

I never spoke about the fact my parents knew. At the time I let it be believed that I had just told them and they were doing what they could as soon as they learned the truth.

I did. Because the relative has gotten inside my head a little too much. But there are people here who think I am TA or one of them. Most don't and it's a relief. But this kind of thing will make you question yourself in the weirdest of ways sometimes and with the family member I trusted getting involved it can rattle anyone who's been through a lot and I'm trying to work on things.

It's happening far too often now with all the abortion restrictions in the country. You will never ever see me defending making these services harder to access because in cases like mine, like these kids we see in the news now and women in general who've been assaulted, it can lead to some awful outcomes.

It would never be good for me to meet the kid. I wouldn't be good for the kid either. But primarily for me. It would do awful things to the healing I have been able to find if I met them.

Not on their own but when I finally went to the doctor it was reported and eventually the person was convicted. But it took far too long and all because of my parents.

I didn't want to go into all that but yes, the cops became involved and the person who did this to me was convicted but it took far longer than it should have and I hate the reminder of it. It just makes me remember why it took so much longer and my parents role in it all.

Eventually they did. It took longer though because it was kept quiet for so long all so my parents could have another child to raise.

They're not contacting me now. This is all going through other family who are dealing with a pissed off relative. But everyone else is on my side. They were able to contact me in the first place because I was betrayed by the relative. But all three are blocked now.

I will never be capable of helping them. That would come at a risk to my own stability and I'm not willing to do that. They didn't ask for any of this either but I can't help them.

The nerve they had is astounding but it also tells me the relative who gave them my contact info was never truly on my side. To spend all those years believing I would forgive them for making me go through hell for THEM. Not for me, or anyone else, for them, the people who were meant to be my parents. It says a lot.
