When she found out her in-laws were harboring a family secret, she tried to make things right. They say she was out of line.
The Happy Couple
The Original Poster (OP), a 25-year-old woman is engaged to a 32-year-old man. They have been dating for four years before getting engaged last year.
Getting to Know The Family
Throughout their relationship, they have gotten along well with each other’s families and celebrated holidays together. When they announced their engagement, both of their families were happy for them.
A Shocking Discovery
OP recently discovered her fiancé has a younger sister named An, who is 15 years old.
A Mystery Family Member
Despite frequently visiting her fiancé’s parents, she has never met An. During a family dinner, she asked about An but was met with hostility from her fiancé’s family. They told her not to mention her and to forget about her.
The Family Is Closed Off
OP was shocked by their intense response, but she dropped the subject.
They Say It’s Her Choice
Later, OP talked to her fiancé about it, but he brushed it off, saying An chooses not to be part of the family.
A Secret Meeting
Something felt off, so OP tried to contact An to get to know her. They met in a cafe, and the woman discovered An is a sweet girl, but she is mute. She can hear, but cannot talk.
The Family’s Refusal
Her parents refuse to accept this, and they have excluded An from family events until she speaks.
She Invited Her to The Wedding
OP sympathized with An and invited her to her wedding, hoping to show her that she deserves to be part of the family.
The Family Is Angry
When she told her fiancé’s family about the invitation, he became angry and demanded she revokes it. He claimed An did not deserve to be part of the family if she refused to talk to her.
They Demand an Apology
OP’s fiancé sided with his family and asked her to apologize for her behavior.
She’s Left Wondering if This is Okay
OP could not accept the mistreatment of An and worried about how her fiancé would treat their future children if they had a disability.
Friends Say to Apologize
Some of her friends advised her to apologize and let it go to avoid damaging her relationship.
Standing Up for What Is Right
OP could not ignore An’s mistreatment and believed it was important to stand up for what is right.
Is This a Bigger Problem?
She wondered if her fiancé’s family’s treatment of An was indicative of a larger problem in their family dynamic, and whether she could continue to be part of it if it was.
What Redditors Thought
One concerned user said, “why aren’t you calling off this marriage after seeing how horrible your fiance and his family truly are? Imagine how they’ll treat your future children if they aren’t perfect?”
Another stated, “This is child abuse. You should call child protective services on the parents. An needs to get therapy and support for her disability.”
Should she stay out of her fiancé’s family’s business? Is it important to stand up for what you believe in no matter the consequences?
