I guess it’s like that thing that people say. Which probably means it’s bullshit. But anyways… If you love something let it go if it comes back to you at yours forever. I thought that the story we were living. Her sister has mental illness also and lives with the family in Vietnam. People don’t recognize mental illness in Vietnam. No medication and no therapy. Her sisters life is really sad. She got married off to the neighbor, the farmer boy to get rid of her. Thinking that that’s the life that my ex could’ve had, there’s no way I could’ve allow that to happen.
But sometimes it's nice to not hurt our friends if we don't have to. I was once asked after saying no thanks 'is it because I'm fat and old??'. The brutally true answer was basically yes but it would have felt bad to say so to a friend so I just stuck to I don't feel a spark which was also true just less cutting.
Not only do you get to be her backup choice, but you get to raise some jerk's kid too? No thanks. That sounds terrible.
She should see a therapist. Your reaction was perfectly reasonable.

Victim blaming is an ugly look.
Making your child cry for the sake of his amusement is fucking sick.
