Entitled parents and sister are demanding I not take an incredible job overseas if I'm taking my adoptive daughter.

My younger sister went through a pretty rough time as a young adult,

drinking and doing drugs and generally being wild.

She ended up getting pregnant and giving birth at age 18, when I was just a few weeks away

from turning 21.

Now she didn't want the child after giving

birth. She refused to even pick up the child and would leave her sitting in

dirty nappies. Despite never wanting children myself either, I stepped in and adopted my newborn niece as my daughter.

My then boyfriend, who I'd been with for three years, gave me an ultimatum, him or her,

as he didn't want children either. I picked her and he left me

which resulted in me suddenly being a single mother. The first few years were rough

as a single parent barely making ends meet but I managed and my sister

had nothing to do with us. I never once hit the truth from my daughter that she was

adopted but I always assured her I loved her so much and was her mommy.

When my daughter was six my sister was finally clean

and then wanted to have access to her.

I allowed it but stressed she would just be an aunt to her and she accepted this

though it's clear she struggled with the concept and sometimes acted more like a

mother which I always squashed quickly now my daughter is eight and I've been offered a job in a different country. The pay

is almost double my salary and the company is helping us find a home putting my

daughter in an international school and after school care.

So of course I'm gonna take it.
