Imagine raising your niece as your own child, only to have your family accuse you of disrespecting your late sister’s memory. That’s exactly what happened to one woman who, along with her wife, has been raising her niece, Hannah, since she was less than a year old. Hannah’s biological mother, the woman’s older sister, was an addict who disappeared and later passed away. Now, at 14 years old, Hannah has started calling her aunt and her wife ‘mom’ in front of her friends. But when the family found out, all h**l broke loose at their Christmas gathering.
