Redditor Feels Guilty About Moving To America And Leaving Their Sister's Child With Her Ex-Husband

One story posted by Redditor u/ModeAsleep7066 on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit recently caught the attention of Internet users. The OP shared that they had a close relationship with their sister.

However, things took an unexpected turn when she received a work opportunity in Canada and asked if her one-year-old child could stay with the OP temporarily. What was initially meant to be a short stay was extended to two to three years, with the sister showing no interest in taking her child back or arranging the necessary paperwork.

The situation got bad when the Reddit user's mother passed away, so they and their children planned a move to America.

As the departure date approached, the OP tried to contact their sister, but she became unreachable. So they contacted her ex-husband to take the child. This led to a heated argument between the siblings, leaving the Reddit user grappling with feelings of guilt and uncertainty about their actions.

So, the Reddit user came to the online group to ask people for their opinions. Scroll down to read their full post and what people had to say to them.
