According to Newsweek magazine (USA), a recent post by a 43-year-old woman shared on Reddit has created a heated debate.
In her sharing, the main character said that she was kicked out of the house by her parents when she was young for a forgettable mistake.
"I had an affair with my sister's husband when I was 16 years old. I really regret it and really hate myself in the past. After the incident, my sister chose to forgive her husband, and they continued to live together. Meanwhile, I have to face the deadly consequences.
My parents kicked me out. Every time I find a job, my parents and sister will contact my colleagues to defame me, calling me the one who destroys the family. Wherever I go, they get in my way, using my story as a 16-year-old to break my relationships.
In the end, I chose to leave the city I was living in to protect myself," the woman said.
After starting a new life, this woman received support from an elderly couple. When she grew up, she married a man and had 4 children. For more than a decade, the owner of the article and her family have not been in contact with each other.
Recently, she suddenly received a message from her parents apologizing for the past. However, they asked her for financial support and sent her a sum of money to help her raise her two children. This made the woman angry, unable to help, and cut off her family.
The above story currently attracts more than 12,000 comments from Reddit users.
The majority commented that the girl should not support her family: "I know you made mistakes in the past, but at that time you were just an immature child. Instead of guiding you to fix it, your family tries to destroy your career and life by spreading private rumors. They behaved disappointingly. I think you shouldn't answer them, spend time with your small family."
Many others also expressed their anger towards the girl's family: "They cut off their relationship with you for more than 10 years. Now, when they need money, they apologize and ask you to take care of your sister's child. This shows that they are not sincere, not really looking back at their actions".
From the issue of women, public opinion believes that parents should behave properly and know how to guide children when making mistakes. Instead of punishing with extreme forms, educate and help young people correct.
