It is a permanent solution to a temperary problem. We were not able to have children either, but we were able to adopt a beautiful baby boy. Your mother is right...your aunt needs to talk with someone professionally. There are going to be so many people...family and friends..wanting to give her advice...but unless they know exactly what she is going through, by experience...all need to keep quiet. Everyone is different and what one person would do, another would not even think about. Get her into therapy and let a trained professional help her get all her feelings out. The only thing family and friends should be doing is letting your aunt know how much they love and need her. God has a plan..she needs to be here to see just where his hand will lead her.

This is great advice. Sounds like you mom is thinking rationally, also. Hope she can incourage your aunt to get the help that she needs. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know how you are all doing.

I'm waiting on my mom to give me an update. I had called her and my sisters and my whole fammily and nobody answers at home or cell, so I'm assuming they are with my aunt in the hospital.I just need to wait for someone to call me.

God bless your aunt. Janet gave you excellent advice. It was extremely cruel of that woman to confront your aunt after all she's been thru, but you have to consider the calibre of person you're dealing with. Your uncle sounds as much to blame as his mistress.

Your aunt needs therapy. My sister couldn't have children and ended up adopting 2 of the most beautiful babies you've ever seen. Also, my daughter in law can't have children and is in the midst of dealing with it, so I know what it can do to you first hand.

I'll be praying for your aunt that she can find peace in her life.

I am so sorry to hear this, I agree with Janet to, that mistress had no business going over to your aunts with that kind of news , it was just cruel and heartless. Like your mom said don't wish malice on anyone, what you reap in life always has a way of coming back. Your uncle is much to blame here. In the meantime , encourage your aunt to seek help for she has many problems now to deal with. I wish you and your family a healthy new year. May the coming year bring some comfort to your aunt as she is going through dealing with her problems. My prayers are with you and your aunt.

vt73, how are things with your aunt? Is she feeling better after her tragic experience? I hope you all are standing by her, letting her know how much you all love her. Do you think she'll be acceptable to seeing a professional? I pray she does...it really will help. Thinking about you and your family and hoping things are getting better.

I think Janet gave some wonderful advice as usual.
