Caught in the Crossfire: Family Drama Takes a Toll

After years of Susan’s difficult behavior, our protagonist finally had enough and told her to stop contacting her about her late sister’s children. This led to backlash from Mike’s parents, who claimed she was too harsh and that Susan still cared deeply for the kids. However, our protagonist stood her ground, pointing out that Susan’s actions spoke louder than words. ✊ Was she too harsh, or was it time to draw the line? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
