[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP may have some valid concerns.  My grandmother was bipolar, and ended up almost killing my father twice as an infant.  First, she almost starved him to death, and his grandparents stepped in to save his life, and second, she almost burned him alive during a manic episode.  His four year old sister saved him that time.[/quote]
So what? My husband’s mother has bipolar and BPD and was hospitalized a number of times during his childhood for psychiatric episodes. He’s super successful and well adjusted. Do you see how dumb one off anecdotes are?

OP’s post comes across as her wanting to punish her sister for cutting off her parents.  Your sister doesn’t like your parents and probably doesn’t like you. Let it go. Maybe it’s unfair but it is what it is.  I don’t believe you are motivated by love for a child you haven’t met because they don’t exist yet. You can’t do anything about it and there aren’t really any options for the child that wouldn’t be traumatic. I’m actually curious as to whether OP is married with children as well or if it is jealousy at the undeserving sister having something they don’t have. [/quote]

I'd bet your husband would have loved to have a family member concerned about his well being during that time or even a mother who was healthy [/quote]
