Family dynamics are rarely simple, and they become even more complicated when a child’s behavior starts to cross other people’s boundaries.
Reddit user Available-Hat6629 shared a tense story about her sister’s autistic son, whose violent outbursts recently escalated during a visit to her home.
The woman described how her daughter was kicked and injured and said that she refused to let him come over again. But her sister and relatives started criticizing her for being “bigoted,” so she turned to the internet for guidance, asking strangers whether she was in the wrong for excluding the boy.
When someone crosses your boundaries, even love and loyalty may not be enough to smooth things over
