Woman Denies Deceased Friend’s Parents Access to Grandson: Heartless or Justified?

Losing a friend is never easy, but when that friend leaves behind two children, the situation becomes even more complicated. After the tragic passing of her best friend Alexis, a 31-year-old woman took in Alexis’ two children, as they had agreed upon. However, things took a turn when Alexis’ estranged parents began demanding to see their grandson, despite their daughter’s explicit wishes in her will. Now, the woman faces backlash for standing her ground and protecting the children from their toxic grandparents.
