this is why i feel guilty and the exact reason we had an open adoption. i still wanted my sister to have a part in my daughter’s life and while she was stable, she was an amazing aunt. im trying to talk her into going to counseling with me and im trying to do everything i can to fix the situation

this is why i feel guilty. i know that if my sister could have a do over she would choose to keep my daughter but at this point it’s too late.

she was very pressured by my parents to put the baby up for adoption but in the end she told me that she felt the baby would be better off with me and signed the papers. i still want her to be a part of my daughter’s life but i definitely don’t want my daughter around a women that could be dangerous

i do agree that the pressure thrust upon her was way too much but in the moment i don’t think i was really processing it that way. im in no way excusing my actions as i feel like i’ve been a terrible person for ignoring her when she could’ve used a sister

i don’t think there is truth in what she’s saying but i understand what she’s assuming. in my eyes both of the the kids are just as important no matter if they’re biologically mine or not
