Do-Over Family Drama
Our protagonist’s sister had a daughter named Asha when she was 25, but she was never really a good mom. Fast forward to today, and Asha has nothing to do with her mom. Instead, she spent most of her time with her paternal uncle, who stepped up where her mom failed. Asha eventually moved out at 18, and her mom remarried and had two more kids, calling it her chance to ‘do things right.’ When Asha called her mom’s new family a ‘do-over family,’ her mom took offense, claiming that Asha lacked sympathy for her struggles as a young widowed mom. Our protagonist stepped in, reminding her sister that she admitted to wanting to do things right with her new family, not just better. So, who’s in the wrong here? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation… ️♀️
