Grieving Mom or Neglectful Parent?

Whew, what a heart-wrenching situation! This mom’s grief over her miscarried daughter has consumed her life, turning her home into a shrine and her Instagram into a memorial. But in the process, she’s neglecting her living, breathing son. He’s become a prop in her social media posts, always in the shadow of his ‘angel’ sister. When he acted out, destroying photos and the nursery, his mom was shocked. But honestly, can you blame the poor kid for feeling like he’s competing with a ghost? I tried to talk some sense into my friend, urging her to get help and warning her that her son could suffer psychological damage. But she hung up on me, refusing to see the truth. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
