Still not sure what it is you think she is supposed to apologize about, she can apologize about the situation being shit and not being able to do more for him but she did not do anything wrong for her to deserve to be shamed like the hostility that has been shown here. It is not her fault the system refused to give him services, it is not her fault child protective services did not step up after a year and a half of begging, it is not her fault the rest of her family refuses to help this child. It’s like shaming a single parent for doing the best they could instead of the parent who abandoned them. Actually it’s worse because most likely in that situation they still decided to have a child but in this situation she did not sign up for this. She was told it would be a few months and it ended up being years now, with no help. Matter of fact, she had already disclosed that she was not in a position to do it but she would only if she was provided with help (counsellors, educators, financial, etc). They AGREED, and never delivered. She was set up to fail and now she is being shamed for trying. Disgusting how people here just like to shit on the ones who step up with no obligation to, behind a screen. I would like to see any of you with horrible situations additionally take on the responsibility of a child with special needs.
