“I am so angry at him and of course I am hurt because he cheated and now we are no longer together. I have a child; well, now we have a child together and that makes it hard. What am I supposed to do? Because I want nothing to do with this man. Why should he be a part of my child’s life?”
It was obvious that this sister was hurt and angry and I got where she was coming from. No one wants to be cheated on. But even in that state I reminded her gently that the child is actually theirs, as the father played an equal role in the procreation process.
She looked at me silently for a while, as if she wanted to argue but knew that there was nothing to defend.
