The Moral Dilemma

The Unwanted Responsibility: A Moral Quagmire
Mr. X and Mr. Y are caught in a whirlwind of controversy. Despite their legal right to refuse custody of the children, they face a barrage of criticism and online bullying. The children, a 10-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, are practically strangers to them. The couple argues that uprooting the children from their familiar surroundings and thrusting them into a new city would be a disservice to them. Yet, the question remains: are they turning their backs on their moral responsibility, or are they making a tough but necessary decision? ♂️
“YTA. Not really you as much as your husband. I can’t imagine how hard it was to pretend to be someone he was not while he was still in the closet. My heart goes out for that. But he was still a sovereign person who chose to live a closeted life and **chose** to have children. “
