I hope I'll be able to teach the baby some of the things that her mother learned too late. It is a cycle. It's sad that Amy fell into the cycle, but then her parents were not good role models. They each had kid after kid after kid; each with different people. None of them have a whole sibling.
There was quite an embarrasing situation when one of the father's exs moved back to town with her kids. One of them was Amy's sister. It was actually one of the teachers that figured the familial relationship out. Amy lived with her father, her father knew one of his other daughters (same age) was moving to town but couldn't be bothered to even explain this to his 12 year old child. The two girls did not get along and the teacher pointed out that they were sisters and should behave better.
I cannot even imagine what that does to a child. To meet someone a few months younger than yourself and discover she's your sister. And so publically!
