Imagine having a deadbeat dad for a brother, who signed away his rights to his twin boys and still thinks he has the right to see them. That’s the situation one person found themselves in when their brother, who has a drinking problem and a drug addiction, demanded to see his kids while their mom was away. The family, including the person who shared this story, refused to let him see the kids, but now they’re facing backlash from other family members. Let’s dive into this emotional rollercoaster of a story.

Is the Family Being Too Harsh?
After their brother, a deadbeat dad, demanded to see his twin boys, the family put their foot down and said no. They believe that he doesn’t deserve to see them because of his drug and alcohol problems, and they’re not willing to let him near the kids while he’s still using. However, some family members think they’re being too harsh and should let him see the kids as long as they’re present. Are they being too hard on him, or are they protecting the kids from a toxic influence? Let’s see what people have to say about this heart-wrenching situation.
