I Was Raised By My Sister | Non-Biological Mothers | Cut 

imagine that you suddenly have to grow up and be an adult when you're still a kid, she truly is a superhero 😭

2:02 "We had a Absent Father ... not because he left us but because he had 2 Fulltime jobs ......" Salut to him for working for his Kids so they could eat. He had no time for them but he did what was in his power. Must been realy hard for the 3 of them

respect to all non-biological mothers

Oh crap he's going to make me cry So wholesome 😌

"Don't think I'll ever forget that time you left me at the grocery store when I was 11" ASDFGGHJKL. This video is wholesome and heartwarming at best. Family is not about biological terms but chemistry formed from an individual to another. I was adopted by my mother and let me tell you, she's my superhero. Though we bicker ALOT, we still love each other, spill tea about things and she honestly meant alot to me.

I didn't expect to cry so much at this. I relate so much to the brother and sister story. Such a wholesome video

Claire (Stacy's foster daughter) is my best friend and we have been best friends since middle school and I remember how bad things were back then, we wearnt even allowed to hang out because of that group home. It made me feel so... helpless every day when all I could do was hug her. She called me today to show me this amazing video and it only made me appreciate Stacy even more because this summer we were able to see eachother again for a whole weekend! I'm really over the moon to see how much Stacy has impacted Claire's life in such a short amount of time and how independent she is now. They are both truly amazing people and I am grateful to have met Stacy and have Claire as a best friend 💖

Bro, imagine raising a child all alone from the age of 17. So sad...

the whole video was just so wholesome i can't even

family is always diverse and fluid :) remember that biological relations don’t matter!

The foster care one got me. Only because it's so rare to hear foster children to be treated well and with Love

I raised my sister when I was 13 and she was 10, until I was 18 and she was 15. I helped her with homework, acted as her sister (gossip, talking about school), cooked food every night, helped her with her periods, helped her sleep every night due to her insomnia and helped her through all friendship and relationship problems while I juggled school, taking care of my ill mother and a job. Now that she's 21, she's totally cut me off. Today I got married and she arranged a shift on work just to miss it. She never said anything. I live in a flat with my husband right next to the main house. She's cut me off and would never tell me why no matter how often I asked. My point is, not everyone will remember it as a positive experience and will have conflicting feelings (is she my sister or my mom?). Sometimes people will just cut you out after you raised them. It's complex because no sibling should have to raise their younger siblings, but it's so common and it doesn't always end up well. Just don't take what bonds you have with your siblings for granted.

The sister is just amazing, especially at the age of 17...

Who sliced onions?!🧅😭 I adopted my little sister when she was 12, now she is turning 19 and I am SOOO proud of her😭 the fact that she loves me, she is a GREAT friend aside of a little-big sis ♥️ I love being able to give her a person who will help her grow and never leave her side✨

The young girl reading the letter to her aunt touched my heart you could tell she was so nervous she had her paper all crumpled up and her little voice :/ bless her heart!! And the sister who raised her brother what an amazing person!!! The courage it took to raise her 10 year old brother

How do you really know the sister is really his mother? She left him in a shop. Classic mum move....

damn didn't expect to cry today...

Don’t mind all the tears. I didn’t have abusive parents but I had self centered parents. I am who I am because of them but my older sister stepped up a lot and she knows I love her because we learned open communication from our parents but I can’t help but be emotional watching this.

I’m sorry for the kids who were let down (abused) by their biological parents. Thank you to the sister, aunt, and foster mom for being there, having the extra heart.

Shoutout to all the big sisters that had to grow up too fast to raise younger siblings 🥺😭

Shout out to the ones that have cared for us like their own when we weren't. I've always wanted to say thank you to my aunt who always had my back when mine and my moms relationship was rocky. Never turned away from me.❤

The older sister and little brother story is very common with kids who grew up in abuse they build a bond because they kind of have to raise themselves beautiful ♥️

"I knew he was gonna make me cry, I just knew it" Same. 🥺

“Thanks for being born”. That’s so beautiful to have a sibling say that to you

I personally was also raised by my aunt and see her as my mother. So this video really speaks to me and is genrally so beautiful!! Also i have never seen this topic discused in a video so thank you for that cut!! 💜 (PS: sorry if i spell something wrong im german-turkish and english is not my first language👀)

absolutely just cried at 9 in the morning. my brother has been my parent and it made me very thanful

Being touched that the brother got soneone to proofread the letter was such a mon move

Eventhough both my mom and dad are around and they take full care of us and are amazing I still feel a motherly love toward my two little sisters. I would sacrifice everything for them. They are my world

The older I get ( and im only a 25 year old guy) , i truly appreciate how loving, caring and supportive a household I grew up in and realize how lucky i actually was. I love you mom and dad, and i miss both of you so much

they’re all so cute

Please do one with Non-Biological fathers, as well. This was amazing. Thankyou to the folks at Cut 😊

I’m glad I found this. My mom died from kidney failure when I was 16 and I had to help raise I’m 11 year old brother. I remember learning to grocery shop, making sure he got to school and cooking every day and cleaning. I wouldn’t change anything because it made me a better man.

“Thanks for being born” their truly just an iconic sibling/mom duo!

As the eldest child as well as daughter, I was also parentified. I was mother to both my sisters *and* mother. My mother is an addict who never grew up and my father never wanted to really be a dad to begin with so he was MIA most of the time. I wish everyone in this video a beautiful life ❤️

I’m 23 and raising my 11 year old brother as my own, so I related to the brother and sister so much. Made me cry ugly tears 😭

These types of things is what the internet should be focused on.

My mom(biological aunt) raised me ,sacrificed a lot and showed me what a mother's love is. This is so relatable to me... Hugs to all the mother figures out there

As a sister raising their 7yr old sister, This made me sob 😭

That foster daughter really needed to hear that "I love you" back. She just melted when foster mom said it and hugged her.

My mother recently passed and my little brother is barely a teenager. With my father working away, I'm basically raising him. So this video hit a little close to home. 💙

Jolyne is my favorite person now on Cut, the way she holds herself, thing she's done to keep his brother whole.

The foster mother saying she loves her very much ugh :’) i loved hearing all these letters

The brother and sister story touched me the most and had me in tears..reminds me of how close my sister and I was growing up (I was the older one ) I took her everywhere with me and people thought I was a teen dad, mom ( single parent) worked so I helped out ..normal healthy home life no abuse 😁✌

I'm crying watching this because I recently lost my great-grand aunt. My parents are wonderful, loving people but my great-grand aunt was always there for my siblings and me, for our family. Picked us up from school for years, took us out to eat, referred to us as her 'grandchildren'. She'd listen to my mom vent after work, helped her with the chores she didn't have time to do. She recently died and her death shocked us. My mom lost a best friend and my siblings and I lost a caretaker, our first friend. We really miss her so much.

HUGE shout out to all the incredible women/mothers/mother figures out there!

This is beautiful.. I’m currently 25 and been raising my 16yr old niece since she was 11.. so this hits close to home 💓

When I look at my younger brother now and see the results of my doings, of all the late night explaining of mother's behavior towards him, of correcting all the shit that she and his father did to him, all the re-education that I had to do, while being a child myself, and having suffered so much abuse myself, it makes my heart whole, knowing that I succeeded, and when I tell people that he feels like my son, they just don't get it. His heart is my heart. This video hit so deep.

My mom walked out on me and my sister when I was four. This hit me so, so hard. Much love to all of the children of broken families and to those who are around to help pick up the pieces. You aren’t alone ♥️

This is BEAUTIFUL!!! This makes me want to consider adopting. Addiction is such a cycle. If it runs in your family, please don’t ever even try it. Thats the best thanks you could ever give to anyone that may have cared for you when you’re parents couldn’t or didn’t is to not repeat the cycle. Those that failed you aren’t worth it. Keep your head up!

god damn, casper is cutting onions in the next room

SOBBING AT 7 IN THE MORNING

“Aww damn his going to make me cry” I loved their story the most 😩😍

I was raised my aunt for the first four years of my life, as my mother had to take care of my younger brother. I can relate to this, as a child my early memory was around her.

I'm that big sister, but things are so fractured in my family that I'll never get this recognition. Thank you, @Cut, for making this video and letting me live vicariously through these lovely people, sincerely. 🥰

I raised my brothers from the age of 9 when they were only 7 and 5. This made me cry because my situation was similar to theirs. My mom worked 3 jobs while my dad was absent and abusive. I’ll be 22 next month and they’ll be 20 in March and 18 in April. I moved out of my moms house now and we haven’t seen my dad since then but every now and then I check on them and bring them food at my moms house. She also owns her own house now and only works one job after working her ass off ❤️

What a big sacrifice these people made. They deserve a medal.

That ‘thank you’ after she said she loved her, MY FACE IS WET HELP ITS UNCOMFY!

Dude.. my older sister was the same... my parents were workaholics.. and she practically raised me and my other sister from infant till high school.. such blessings when you have people around you that love you and will sacrifice the world for you..

Hearing her say thank you for simply being loved really touched me 5:52 😫🥰 you can feel that she's never really felt loved by anyone until that moment. And that it's one step closer to healing. It's beautiful. I've watched this atleast 20 time's sent it to my 2nd mother she saved my life Leanne Harthern YOU SAVED MY LIFE I LOVE YOU.(I know you'll never see this and I know you know how thankful I am but anyone who sees this should know that me and you is at 5:52 you helped me heal.

This video meant so much to me for so many reasons, thank you cut

My dad was absent too working several jobs. My mum fell ill. I’ve taken care of my brother since I was 16 I’m now 26. Its emotional listening to this cause it’s a reality for lots of older siblings. “It’s just something you had to do” - honestly would do anything for my siblings 🫶🏽

This is one of the best videos I've watched in awhile. Do more, like this! Different forms of people appreciating others! We need more of these!

This is my favorite cut video I've seen. As a person who's been mothered by many, I call them my extra mom's! I'm never not grateful for each of them!

The brother and sister remind me of when I uplift my older sister and confess my appreciation and admiration towards her.She finds a way to make it funny so she doesn’t cry

commenting to say thank you to my grandmother for being both parents to me and for always being my rock❤️, because of her I learnt at only 8 years old, how to take care of all 3 of my siblings who I share that non-biological mother connection with🥰. I miss you grandma , RIP🕊

That toxic parenting thing & where you needed someone to listen to your problems without getting hitted on ...ngl this things hit a bit close to home man🙂

I CAN'T with this today!... Started boo-hooing right out the gate. Letters hadn't even been read! How beautiful! 😭

I am so blessed to have 2 loving parents I could not imagine what these kids had went through during their childhood that must’ve been scary and traumatizing

This was beautiful!!! I’m literally eating my lunch crying at how wholesome this was. So happy that despite the cards these teens were dealt, they were still able to have someone to love them for who they are

This video made me way too emotional. All these individuals are amazing--but the brother and sister's story really touched my heart. I'm glad they had each other, that sister is amazing.

Cut, please do more of these videos, more of these telling our loved ones how we feel while we still can.

Only love for everyone of them, I cried tears of joy and because I was so touched. Mad respect for all these beautiful non-biological mothers. Makes me feel so thankful for my own mother and father figures. Also shoutout to The Cut for making this series, it means the world because family is more than just bloodline and so many people like myself can relate.

oh my heart and the feels! this was all super emotional. all beautiful story's. the siblings, wow the older sister is a damn super hero. major props to her as a person also holy crap is she beautiful too. on the inside ( clearly ) and out.

This just reminded me to thank my caretaker, she has always been there for me, not only as a maid but as my actual mom.. I love her more than my real mom because she’s always been there for me and respects me as a person

i cried so much at this because i am trying to raise my sister, because i cant actually trust is our parents. and it's so hard sometimes but just to see her smile after a rough day makes everything better and i just hope i am doing a great job. it would mean the world to me if she said something like this to me someday.

Awww the sister and brother one hit me sm🥺🥺🥺 I’m so overprotective over my little brother and would do that for him if I was in that position! Bless everyone’s heart in this video ❤️!!!

I know this was very heartfelt but damn....the siblings are very attractive people. I couldn't help blushing the entire time they came up. Just looking foiiinneee

Omgggg! So many tears! I love this! I had so many woman in my life that stepped up and showed me love when I didn’t have it or felt pushed to the side. My mother and I are close now but that is thankfully do to her getting a diagnosis and propped medications to help her. This video was amazing!

My older sister and I cried watching the two siblings because that's literally us.

All these ladies deserve all the love and appreciation

Im soooo happy i have my mother and i can count on her, i see not everybody have this privilege.

I couldn't finish watching this because it went too close to my heart but this really reminded me of the people who took over my parents roles in my life and for the most part it was my older sister. She is only 1,5 years older than me but she is the only person that I truly feel like I can rely on and ask for help. I don't know where I would be without her.

i wish nothing but the best for all of them! such pure and kind people.

These videos make me wanna cry. I was brought up by my biological mum so I can't just imagine myself being in such situation and I can't even understand a little part of what these heros have done for the readers. It is amazing. May God bless them

Wow, I'm crying so hard from how sweet this is

One of the most beautiful CUT videos I have seen. Thank you CUT for bringing these wonderful humans here and share their stories and love for each other. Faith in humanity restored 😌

I practically raised my sister since she was born (I was almost 6yo), my parents were there but they didn't really payed attention to us, my sister usually calls me mom, now we're 18 and almost 13, it wasn't easy to do but I managed

the video hasn't even started yet & I'm already fighting back tears & choking up dawg 😭😭

I almost cried. This is beautiful

Just to put it out there cause I can’t write a letter now, to Jesse thank you for being there for me as a father. I never had a father figure until you showed up when I was young. I honor you to this day and you still teach me things in spirit. I wish i could see you to tell you but I know you can see me and hear me. I love you.

I totally loved all the mothers especially the sister-mother.she didn't have to step up but she did anyway.

This is not fair, you post this again and made me cry again.

I am teary eyed. This is the sweetest thing ever 😭

I'm not crying, you're crying

From Adoptee, to adoptee, I wish nothing but the best, understanding, unconditional, loving relationship with her second mom🖤 You deserve nothing but to always know and feel like you are chosen, loved, safe, cared for, and seen.🖤 CUT always finds a way to provide content that I can relate to. Thank you so much to the whole team and the humans in this video for sharing a part of themselves with strangers. & being so vulnerable and honest 😭🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

That "Ah crap he is going to make me cry" - is a true sibling response. As an older brother with much younger sister - I felt that

The “I love you Stacey” I felt that !

Y'all need one for Dads. They don't get enough love to being with

This is so amazing. I cried so much just listing to these letters 😭😭

I got goosebumps when she said "alcohol seemed more important than me for my mom, buy you always put me your No. 1" 😭😭
