'AITA for refusing to save my half-sister I never knew existed from foster care?'
- The original article centers on a strict boundary: OP refuses to take in a half-sister, arguing that care decisions should come from relatives who want to foster a relationship.
- Grandparents push the view that family ties imply responsibility, prompting OP to reaffirm explicit boundaries about involvement.
- Commenters largely agree OP has no legal or moral obligation to adopt, citing intergenerational trauma from the parents' affair.
- The affair's fallout is seen as a complicating factor that intensifies feelings of resentment toward the father and his partner.
- There’s an implicit expectation that foster care or adoption mechanisms exist to place the child with willing guardians.
- OP references past therapy as context, noting current non-therapy status while acknowledging personal growth.
- Grandparents advocate for action, suggesting that resources could be found to support involvement if there is determination.
- Some commenters propose that guardianship or adoption could come from other relatives or even strangers, not the OP.
- OP emphasizes personal boundaries and rejects manipulation to compel parenting or financial support.
