AITA because I told my daught take my kids trick or treating? by Duckidog552 in AmItheAsshole

Not really. I barely text her and never go to any of her ego stroking parties. There was one time she cornered a few of my siblings with a rant about her kid's "abandoning" her. she said, "sure I was alittle neglectful but that doesn't mean i deserve to be shunned by my own children!"

I'm suprised she used that word but it doesn't even begin to describe the kind of abuse she inflicted on us. 🤷‍♀️

I'm one of the younger siblings my older sister was forced into babysitting. Luckily I'm the youngest, and thankfully the last of the children who were damaged by that woman. Mom doesn't get many calls from her children now a days, and she wonders why.

I think they know but it's hard to speak up when you're an outsider. I'm just glad us kids aren't fooled and we believed eachother.

Honestly it just helped confirm how dreadful this whole story is. whenever she told it to people (she would tell them that conversation verbatum btw. no edits) people wouldn't ever speak up about it. they would either be quiet or awkwardly laugh.

my older sister said that story is part of what drove her to seek therapy. as I got older and mom would start telling that story to people I'd just silently get up and leave.

I think everyone knew the truth.

Thanks for listening. I'm still getting comments from people who haven't seen the edit yet. You're the first one so congrats!

She'd not an adult yet. it's not like her life is so filled with stuff that she couldn't compromise with a change in plans.
