Should I Allow My Child’s Father’s Sister to Be Apart of Our Lives Even Though the Father Is Not?
A mom writes in asking for advice about her child’s father’s sister. She says that the father of her unborn child “wants nothing to do with the child.” However, the child’s father’s sister learned through a mutual friend that this mom is expecting what is to be her niece. This aunt wants to be involved in the mom and child’s life, even though her brother (the child’s father) is not. The mom is unsure if this is wise, especially given that she has not met this woman. She still also holds a torch for the child’s father and worries involving his sister may be complicated emotionally.
