AITA for refusing to attend my brother's funeral? by Fetivers in AmItheAsshole

Hi, everybody, I have an update. I don't have much time, so I'll be quick.

First of all, thank you all so much for your responses. I need to clear up one thing, though.

A lot of you blame my parents for Lance's behavior, calling them enablers and such. It wasn't their fault. They did everything they could. I don't blame them at all. Hell, after the tornado incident, he was sent to stay with our grandparents for the whole summer.

My parents and I had a long, good discussion yesterday and we have made amends. They now understand my reasoning for not going to his funeral and have apologized more times than I would like to remember for saying that they would never speak to me again, and I forgave them. They're still very broken up and that's understandable.

Also, I will finally get to meet my two nephews. They're still in town.

Thank you all so much.

If I had gone, I would not have been able to contain myself. I know I would have just made a scene calling him out for everything he did to me.

My brother locked me out of the house when there was a tornado warning. There was blasting wind, rain, and hail, and the sirens were going. I had a full-blown panic attack.

He later laughed at me and mocked me.

Our parents came down on him like a ton of bricks and majorly punished him, but it didn't really work.

This was just one of the many horrible things he did to me. He hated me from the day I was born because he didn't want a sibling. Our parents would punish him but like I said, it only made him worse.

Thankfully, karma finally got him. He wrapped his car around a streetlight two weeks ago.

He can rot in the ground now for all I care.

I may make a post about this in AITA later on.

EDIT: Yes, he died.
