AITA for Refusing to Help My Deadbeat Father’s Family After He Abandoned Me?

In life, some people are forced to make difficult decisions about family, loyalty, and personal boundaries. When a person who has been absent or harmful suddenly seeks redemption or requests help, it creates a moral dilemma that can be emotionally charged and ethically complex. This is especially true when the individual in question has caused pain in the past, leaving the person who must decide feeling torn between compassion and the desire for justice.

The tension between doing what feels right versus doing what’s expected of you can lead to family conflict, deep resentment, and questions of personal integrity. The question often becomes: Can you forgive the unforgivable, or is it okay to set firm boundaries for your own peace of mind?
