I would be absolutely inconsolable if “the other woman” took MY son to have an operation under general anaesthetic. Unless their mother was abusing them and/or has no interest in being their parent, there’s no way that situation is right. There’s something so unnatural about having no contact with your bio mum - it’s not like she put them up for adoption
My aunt has schizophrenia, she got pregnant at 40, didn’t tell anyone, stopped taking her meds, had the baby at home and baby weighed 4lbs and literally there was no record of its gestation so to this day nobody knows how many weeks the baby was born at. She was taken into immediate foster care, my aunt didn’t even have the option to try and parent due to her condition. The child is now 8 and has been adopted yet my aunt still has contact even though she clearly wouldn’t be able to be trusted to parent.
Blows my mind how Rachel gets away with the
tit she does with no contact from the boys’ mum.
