Imagine being kicked out of your home at 18 for getting your girlfriend pregnant, and then having to struggle for years without any support from your family. That's exactly what happened to one man, who is now 32 and married with two children. After years of silence, his parents have suddenly reached out, asking to be a part of his daughter's life. But there's a catch: they don't seem to care about his son, the very child that led to their estrangement in the first place. 😔👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Forgive and Forget or Hold the Grudge? 🤷‍♂️

After years of no contact, this man's parents are suddenly begging for forgiveness and a chance to be grandparents to his daughter. However, they don't seem to care about his son, the very reason they disowned him in the first place. His cousin thinks he's being petty by not allowing them back into his life, but he's unsure if he wants his children exposed to their judgmental and snobby attitudes. What do you think? Should he forgive and forget, or is he right to protect his family from their past mistakes? Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation... 💭👩‍💻
