Family Demands This Woman Give Her Baby To Her Sister Because “She Deserved It More Than Me”

A contributing factor to mental health disorders is intense envy of someone one would never want to succeed and be happy in life. People often fail to see that their jealousy hurts them more than it does others, to the point where seeking professional assistance is necessary to recover from mental illness. The secret to finding contentment and serenity in life is to live and let others live.

OP had eloped to marry her husband Lucas to avoid her half-sister Lisa, who always created drama after seeing OP’s achievements in her life. Lisa was extremely jealous of OP’s marriage, as she had a failed engagement one year ago and freaked out after hearing about OP’s pregnancy. OP was five months pregnant with a baby girl and announced it at a family gathering, as they were very excited to become first-time parents. They discussed baby names with their family members when Lisa started her drama that she deserved, not OP, to have a child. OP and her husband were shocked when her father and her wife supported Lisa and asked them to give their unborn child to Lisa. Read the whole story to learn about OP’s reaction to this absurd demand, and share your comments about it down below.

Now that you’ve heard the story, let’s dive into what Redditors had to say. Keep reading to discover other people’s perspectives on the matter.

9. Redditor suggests that the OP should stay away from her mother and half-sister to protect her unborn child.

10. Indeed! They’re all crazy for expecting a mother to give up on her unborn child.

11. Redditor warns OP to exercise caution against weird people who might go too far to steal her child.

12. Of course! OP needs to improve her home security and stay cautious about any mishaps.

13. Well! that is truly savage.

14. Redditor warns OP from her half-sister as she can do anything to hurt her.

15. Redditor had a similar experience when her mother threatened to report that she wasn’t a good mother. To rescue her kids, Redditor went to the police and reported everything.

16. Redditor believes that Lia and her mother are not mentally stable, so OP needs to be careful.

17. Redditor is concerned about those scary people because they may kidnap OP’s child.

18. Undoubtedly! OP needs to cut her ties with her father’s family.

19. Redditor thinks that Lia’s insane conduct may have caused the engagement to stop.

20. Redditor advises that Lia needs to get professional treatment for her mental illness.

It seems unreal that a twenty-four-year-old girl would be so eager to have a child; perhaps this is due to her intense jealousy towards her older sister. It does not follow that she will never get married or have children if one engagement ends. Lia’s parents should help her realize that she will soon have a family of her own and that she has to receive the right treatment for her mental illness to overcome her fears. Lia was inspired to adopt OP’s unborn child since her mother was encouraging her to seize OP’s happiness. What do you think about Lia’s ridiculous demands and the way OP handled them?
