So today we learn the very sad event in which Sarah asks her husband to ask Avraham to send away his son Yishmael since he is a bad influence on her son Yitchak. Hashem enforces her behavior and tells him that he should heed her words and do as she asks. I was so appalled upon hearing this. First of all, isnt it so egocentric, selfish and inconsiderate of Sarah to ask her husband whom she loves to basically banish his son. She has a son, she knows how painful it would be to have to abandon a child. In addition, why would Hashem support that. Just because Yishmael is not a zera does not mean that he needs to be abandoned. This whole situation makes Sarah and hashem seem cruel and heartless. Yishmael is such a nebuch in this situation. Can you guys please make me feel better about this situation!?!
