Life throws us unforeseen problems. What’s next is unknown. These issues sometimes need harsh choices. A man recently recounted a difficult sister decision.

A Hard Choice
This man’s parents died, leaving his 11-year-old sister. As the older brother with a large age gap, he felt responsible for her. However, this decision strained his marriage.

Conflicting Priorities
The man and his wife had decided against having children. The thought of adopting his sister was rejected by his wife. She thought his uncle, his father’s brother, could care for the girl since they were already busy.

Putting Family First
Although his wife opposed, he couldn’t deny his sister’s wishes. He didn’t want to have her live with their uncle because she chose him as her guardian. He told his wife he would marry his sister after the issue worsened.

Making the Hard Choice
Both guy and wife separated because their priorities were incompatible. The man now acts as his sister’s sole father. Though difficult, he is enjoying his new role and being there for his sister.

Life throws us curveballs and forces us to make tough decisions. Choosing between his wife and sister was difficult for this man. He chose his sister’s well-being and is now a solitary father-figure.
