DSis has 2 children who are, unfortunately, not living with her after SS involvement. They have not been adopted and are with family members but it is very very unlikely they will live with her again as children.
She has in the past and still does suffer from mental health issues (depression and PTSD) as a result of a number of things but has undergone some councilling and is in a much better place now, albeit not totally ok, and has a stable relationship wth her DP of 3 years.
She is recently becoming quite broody. She has never really felt that her family was complete but has decided that it would be better if she was to get sterilised as she does not want to cause her children any more hurt and doesn't want to risk becoming pregnant again for their sake. Also, the whole involvement with SS was so traumatic for her that she does not think she could cope with having them in her life again (which obviously, given the previous history, they would be) and could not risk any subsequent children also being taken.
Aibu to think that actually, this is the right decision despite the fact that she is still young, only early 30's and I am worried she will regret it? I'm very close to my DSis and I love her to bits, she asked me to start this thread as she is too afraid of being judged but is really struggling with this.
