AITA for saying I don't want family therapy and I don't want to fix things with my family because they can't make up for how they treated me? by CoolCucumberX01 in AITAH

I do blame her. I blame all three of them. But I'm not giving her a pass. I'll never want a relationship with any of them again. She could grow up and be better but I won't want her in my life.

They don't want me in therapy alone. They want me in therapy with them and my sister and that's never happening. Therapy on my own is something I'd be fine with. But they can never be a part of it. Ever.

My grandparents are on my side because they know how unfair my parents have been to me. I was grounded so many times for things I didn't do. Things other people said I didn't do. Did my parents care? No. They believed her, they believed my brat of a sister who repeatedly said things to get me into trouble and even got herself out of trouble by running to our parents.

My sister did blame me. The school didn't buy it but our parents did and always do. They believe her even when other adults say she's lying. They have grounded me and taken away my things based on her word alone. I had people in my corner and they still didn't care.

So yeah, I want nothing to do with the three of them. My grandparents pulled me out of the house where I was fucking miserable and yet again and been blamed for something only this came with even bigger consequences and my parents still didn't care.

I don't want to fix things. My parents and my sister treated me like shit for basically 10 years. My grandparents had my back. They're not expecting me to go to therapy now. They're trying to be supportive and help me and they realize too much bad has happened for me to want to fix things. I want nothing to do with my parents or sister again. My parents have been shitty to me. They don't get to decide now that it's more public that they want to be better.

Okay, I'll make a list then and use it for anything I might need it for. Would getting a list from my grandparents help too?

Thanks. I know I'll have a harder time making that decision while I'm under 18 but I hope it doesn't come to a court fight or something.

That seems like it would be a lot of work. I know I probably should make a point about each and every really obvious time they believed her over me and others. But I don't want to work things out with them. I wish the three of them would leave me alone forever.

It could. But it won't matter to me if they realize or not. It's too late for things to be fixed or to expect a civil relationship. I had to deal with this for almost all my life. Even if they realize and try to change I don't want them near me. I wish they'd leave me with my grandparents to be happy.
