Caught in a Web of Family Drama: Who’s the Real Villain Here?
Our heroine found herself in a tangled web of family drama, where she was expected to play the role of a doting aunt, a role she never agreed to. After years of being forced into babysitting duties, she moved out, hoping to escape the drama. However, her mom and stepsister had other plans, painting a false picture of her as the loving aunt to her stepsister’s child. When the truth came to light, she was accused of replacing her ‘niece’ with her own child, and was expected to fix the hurt caused by the lies. But she stood her ground, refusing to clean up a mess she didn’t create. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
NTA. Forced to babysit, now expected to fix the family drama?

NTA. Commenters sympathize with OP’s situation and question the expectations.

NTA. Poor child. Mom and stepsister are cruel.

NTA. You were the forced caretaker for years, when the child’s mother should have been the responsible party. Maybe they made up the story of a loving aunt to make up for them not being the best caretakers after you left. But regardless, they created the hurt the girl feels, not you, and it’s their problem to fix. ♀️

Grandparents have your back! You’re not the free babysitter.

NTA. Protect yourself and your child from a manipulative situation.
