AITA for telling my cousins the truth about their parents?
Beneath the surface of a family bound by faith and convictions lies a tapestry of deeply human struggles and hidden truths.
A secret abortion, kept from the daughters who now fiercely defend life, casts a shadow over their unwavering beliefs—revealing the fragile complexity of love, regret, and redemption that shapes their story.
Amidst this backdrop, a young woman faces the harsh judgment of abandonment, yet finds strength in the unwavering support of family who cherish and help raise her child.
It is a poignant reminder that behind every conviction and every choice, there are lives intertwined with pain, hope, and the unbreakable bonds of kinship.

Internet Users Didn’t Hold Back:
The internet jumped in fast, delivering everything from kind advice to cold truth. It’s a mix of empathy, outrage, and no-nonsense takes.
NTA.
The original poster (OP) acted out of a desire to defend their cousin against harsh judgment from their cousins, revealing a sensitive family secret about an abortion to counter the hypocrisy they perceived.
This action resulted in immediate negative consequences from the OP's parents, who were clearly invested in keeping the secret, creating significant family tension.
The core issue revolves around whether revealing a painful, hidden truth to defend one person against moralizing judgment justifies the damage caused by breaking a confidence held by other family members.
Was the OP justified in prioritizing immediate defense over long-term family secrecy, or should they have maintained silence despite the provocation?
