Family feuds can be a messy affair, but when they involve children, the stakes are even higher. Meet our heroine, a woman who, at the tender age of 20, found herself pregnant and unprepared. With a vague family history of mental disorders and an unsettling premonition, she made the tough decision to give up her firstborn for adoption to relatives. Fast forward a decade, and her life has taken a dramatic turn. She’s now happily married, financially stable, and a proud mom to a 7-year-old daughter. But when her firstborn, now diagnosed with severe autism, becomes the epicenter of a family dispute, she’s left questioning her choices.

A Family Torn Apart: Who’s To Blame?
Our protagonist finds herself in the eye of a storm, accused of ‘escaping responsibility’ by her own family. With a life she’s worked hard to build and a daughter’s future to protect, she’s not ready to back down. She believes that her firstborn’s adoptive parents, who were eager to have a child, should shoulder the responsibility they willingly took on. After all, they legally adopted him, and there’s no law that can force her to take him back. But the question remains, did she know about her son’s condition beforehand? Or is it just an eerie coincidence? Let’s dive into the internet’s reaction to this emotional rollercoaster.
