NTA. Justified anger over child’s near-death experience. I can relate!

Misreading the title led to a sigh of relief

“NTA and I think you were in the right to freak out. You’re adrenaline must have been pumping, i think if youre interested in maintaining a relationship with them then what you could do is apologize for your outburst but not for its content, tell them that not telling their daughter no is all fine and dandy but not in potentially dangerous situations. Tell them that their parenting philosophy does not supercede their childs safety.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t expect them to take that well either, though your aunt seems to understand to some degree. People with children tend to have this remarkable arrogance that they know best and that if someone is not a parent then their opinions on literally anything related to how to parent is completely invalid. So I wouldn’t expect your uncle to be thrilled to hear any of this.”
