I'll be driving from Texas to Florida in about a month and I was wondering if anyone has done the same? I live in Texas and sometimes when I'm just driving around Texas I lose signal so I'm kind of scared of losing signal over there especially since I've never been to Florida.
My (27F) sister (18F) recently discovered that she is pregnant and is currently trying to find ways to get rid of her baby. I'm highly against this due to the fact that literally everyone is willing to financially support her including the parents of the father. She has absolutely nothing to be afraid of. She will 100 percent be taken care of emotionally and financially. So I wanted to recruit my best friend (28F) to try to convince her to keep the baby since she also got pregnant at a young age. She was 16 when she had her first and got married. She had her second at 18. Although I'm aware it wasn't the best of circumstances, I truly thought she was happy to have her kids in her life. After her divorce she seemed to really brighten up and even got her life back together. You could see the light come back into her eyes and you could just see the happiness slowly come back to her. She is constantly taking her kids on trips and genuinely seemed like she was happy with her life. Everytime we hanged out she looked truly happy and in love with her children. It honestly made me so jealous as a single person that desperately craves to have her own children. However, when I asked her if she could try to talk some sense into my sister she laughed in my face. She even throw her head back and told me to just let her get rid of it so she can live her life to the fullest. I told her that she could live her life to the fullest and maybe even more just like her. That's when she suddenly got really seriously and proceeded to go on a long rant. She kept talking about how the baby will ruin her life especially if she doesn't want one and how she will never get to do all the things she wanted because the baby will hold her back. She even said she would probably never forgive us if we forced this on her and there is no guarantee she would grow to love the baby. I was honestly so taken back that I just said "Do you even love your kids?" which she responded with "I'm required to like them. They are my kids. It's not their fault they were born so I have to make the best of the situation for their sake. They don't deserve a shitty life just because I didn't want them". I told her that I couldn't believe she could say that about her kids and she just shrugged. We stayed in awkward silence for a while before something possessed to ask if she could go back in time would she still have the kids. She smiled and said "I'm constantly daydreaming about the perfect life and everytime I do, they are never there. No matter how hard I try to fit them in there, I can't. So no if I could go back in time I wouldn't have them. They deserve to have someone that genuinely wants them in their life." I honestly felt so horrified and disgusted that she could smile like that after saying something so heartless that I just got up and left. This happened on Saturday and we haven't spoken since. I genuinely feel so bad for her kids that I can't even THINK of her. Everytime I think about it I just want to cry. I can't believe someone that I was so close to could be that heartless to her own kids. A small part of me feels like I shouldn't stop talking to her because she might be going through some sort of mental episode but I also feel like that doesn't excuse how she talked about her kids. I truly can't believe a mother would see her kids in such a light. I truly feel like this friendship is over. I can't be friends with someone that views her children in such way. Would I be wrong to just break off this friendship?
