When He Won’t Take In His Daughter’s Sister: Would You Let a Child Go Into Care?

Su questo episodio

<p>This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by co-hosts Nathalie and Cilla to unpack a heartbreaking dilemma.</p><br><p>A mum writes in devastated after her partner refused to take in his daughter’s older sister meaning she may end up in care. She’s torn apart, not just for the child, but also because she fears what it says about her partner. If he can turn his back on his daughter’s sibling, could he one day do the same to her son?</p><br><p>The ladies feel very strongly that siblings should not be split up and urge the mum to fight for the girl to live with them. Cilla and Nathalie share their anger at how a child could be left behind, while Kate calls Rio to join the show to get a male perspective. Rio insists he wouldn’t let a child go into care&nbsp;but he’s also brutally honest that a lot of men might, when faced with financial pressure or the question of biology.</p><br><p>Together they explore whether “not my child” is ever a fair excuse, the painful reality of how easy some people can separate siblings, and what responsibility really looks like in blended families.</p><br><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blended/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@blended </a>on Instagram to share your story.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
