Tempers Flare As A Teenage Girl Leaves Home After Telling Her 19-Year-Old Pregnant Sister She Will Be A Horrible Mother
The pregnant teenager uses her unborn child to manipulate their parents and excuse her terrible behavior.
A family blowup over a pregnancy, a pricey gift, and a balcony full of broken trust is pushing one teenager to her limit. What started as another argument between sisters quickly turned into a fight that left everyone picking sides.
OP is 17, her sister Veronica is 19 and pregnant, and their parents are thrilled about the baby. The problem is that OP has spent years helping raise the younger kids while Veronica has mostly done whatever she wanted, and the resentment has only grown.
Now Veronica has crossed a line that may be hard to come back from. Read on.
Veronica took the pricey perfume as well as the other belongings of their sister and threw them off the balcony.
OP became furious after seeing Veronica smirking while causing so much damage, all while their young sister was crying. OP told Veronica to go f*ck herself, and the pregnant teenager retaliated.
She said, "I dare you to hit me! I'll get rid of this baby; I don't give a f*ck." OP was confused by Veronica's response, as the current issue had nothing to do with her unborn child.
OP replied, "I don't care what happens to that thing; you'd be an awful mother anyway!" Immediately, their parents rushed to Veronica's rescue, telling OP to either get over herself or move out.
So, OP packed her bags and moved in with her boyfriend. OP has been receiving phone calls and messages from her parents and Veronica, alternating between asking her to talk everything out and telling her how awful she is for saying those terrible things to her poor sister.
OP's boyfriend is telling her that her parents and Veronica are treating her horribly and that she shouldn't go back unless she truly wants to. OP's guilt is nagging at her, and she's doubting her hasty decision.
ResponsibleAbalone47Is OP the a**hole in this situation? You can read the original post below for more details:

The family history makes this fight feel even messier.

OP was forced to raise her three siblings on her own because her parents neglected to set up proper care for them while they worked.

Their pleas for OP to come back home seem like barely disguised attempts to rope her into caring for Veronica's baby.

They want her to be the responsible adult in the house yet again.

If Veronica is this unstable while her baby is still unborn, how will she behave once she has to care for it?

Based on her actions, Veronica is just using the baby to manipulate her family.

She's using it as leverage to get what she wants.

That reaction says a lot about where the family stands.
Veronica’s “I’ll get rid of this baby” threat feels similar to the pregnant sister who sparked a fight over unpaid baby expenses.
This is the only reply OP should consider sending.

If OP is settling in nicely with her boyfriend, there's really no reason for her to go back home.

From what we've read, it's not difficult to conclude what kind of mother Veronica will be.

If they love the fetus that much, they should really be more angry that she keeps threatening to abort it.

Crappy humans make for crappy parents.

No matter what OP says or does, she will always just be a crutch for her parents to use.

It's the same with people who adore puppies but neglect them once they start getting bigger.

OP was treated unfairly and was forced to grow up too fast because someone needed to be an adult in that house.

We certainly hope things will get better from here for OP and her younger siblings.

OP's guilt is not really just about what she said to Veronica. She is probably not used to taking care of her younger siblings and worries about them.
She needs to learn that they are not her responsibility. It's not her fault that her love for them was turned against her and used as a way to guilt her into raising them.
The family dinner did not end well.
Before you judge Veronica’s blowup, read how one sister refused to fund her pregnant sibling’s baby plan.
