My sister was in a lesbian relationship for the past few years. She "surrogated" for her own daughter. Now that she's left the relationship and come back to our neck of the woods due to her partner being controlling and manipulative dies from lack of surprise there's an understanding that the other woman still has a connection with my niece that's not so easily severed. It's all a mess and I hate everything about it. Especially since nobody can tell her "I told you so" without getting snapped at.
