AITA for Turning Away a Child Born from the Affair That Destroyed My Marriage?

Blended families can create complex emotional landscapes, especially when past wounds, betrayals, and unresolved tensions are still present. When children from different relationships are involved, questions of responsibility, loyalty, and obligation often become blurred.

In situations where one child is left without a stable guardian, those tied to the family—either biologically or through shared history—may face difficult decisions. But where does the line lie between compassion and personal boundaries?

Situations like these blur the line between emotional responsibility and personal limits. It’s easy to sympathize with a child caught in the middle of adult choices, but it’s also important to recognize the pain and boundaries of those who’ve been deeply hurt.

What do you think—should someone step up for the sake of a child, even when the past is still raw? Or is it fair to say “enough” and protect your own peace? Share your thoughts in the comments. Who’s really in the right here?
