However, things started to go south for Robert.
He found out he had a terminal illness that he could not survive, regardless of how strong the treatment was. The diagnosis made him regret not spending enough time with his daughters.
He quit his job, moved closer to his daughters, and asked for equal custody. The mother of the twins empathized with him and offered him to stay in her guest room and live with the girls for the remaining time he had.
Robert took up the offer, but the woman only had one condition.
She would agree for the twins to spend time with their grandmother, but she was not allowed in her house. The father of two respected the boundaries and never brought his mother over. Robert eventually died, and the loss was hard on both the mother and her twins.
The mother of two was shocked to have the grandmother knock at her door and ask to see her daughters.
She laughed in her face and told her no.
The grandmother pleaded with her, saying the girls were the only piece of Robert left. To which she said, “Her only connection to them was through Robert and Robert only. I have not and will not help her see my girls.”
She even reminded her that Robert was the one to forbid her from seeing the girls, so the woman clarified that nothing would change even after his death.
Her family told her she was a bit too harsh not to allow the grieving grandmother to see her grandkids, but the woman did not believe she was wrong, especially after how she treated her and her daughters.
Many commenters also agreed that it was unsafe for her daughters to be around someone who racially discriminated against them.
In fact, it was severely worrying for most that the grandmother was not only racist toward the mother but her own grandchildren too.
Therefore, readers thought it would be best for the girls to decide whether they wanted a relationship with her when they were 18. But in the meantime, the readers believed “She has reaped what she sowed,”
