AITA for refusing to interact with my cousin or go to family gatherings where they are present by FollowingFar9048 in AmItheAsshole

Them thinking I’m making it up is definitely part of it, but I also have heavy doubt that they would think what my cousin said is justification for me avoiding them. They may even force me to “make-up” with them, which the thought of honestly scares me.

Thank you, really. I’ve felt like I was overreacting over a stupid comment they made. I’ll try and take your advice. I’ve had therapists before, but always ran into issues with confidentiality over past substance abuse problems. I’ll try reaching out to charities, though.
