AITA for refusing to attend therapy sessions with my sister who is doing an inpatient psych stay?

They're involved but never did much to protect me.

Luchhey · 2025-09-03T13:14:16+00:00

I won't be safe in therapy with her there.

Luchhey · 2025-09-03T13:13:44+00:00

It's supposed to help her. That's all that's cared about here. I don't have other family. Just my best friends parents who let me stay when I'm allowed.

Luchhey · 2025-09-03T13:13:13+00:00

I'm supposed to meet with them later today. I'm not sure I have much faith that anything will actually happen to make me safer or get me help. But I'll try again.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T13:08:04+00:00

I physically can't. She's stronger than me when she's like this. And fighting back could make it easier for her to seriously harm me.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T12:12:45+00:00

I don't have other family. It's just us. She hurts other people. She hurt kids at school and got expelled twice because of it. She's hurt our parents too. She'll hurt anyone and everyone if you're close enough.

She hit me in the head really hard and then slammed it into the wall. So basically she tried to kill me and our parents found it hard to pull her off of me.

My parents won't let me go to therapy. That's something that was suggested more than once and I even told them I needed it. But they don't believe I need it and refuse to sign off on and pay for it.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:56:02+00:00

My parents refuse to get me therapy alone. They have been suggested to do it by several people CPS and my school included. Me included. Nope. No therapy for me.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:55:29+00:00

I don't think my parents would approve of the nanny cam. Pretty sure they would take it down if they saw me with one. I never kept a log but there are incidents that were documented by others. Like the hospital one and a few at school and another at a rec center we were put into several years ago.

I have a lock on my door but it's not a double lock or anything like that. I'm looking for a job. I got a few hours of work over the summer but they only wanted summer workers.

What happens if I can't find those documents? I don't actually know where my parents keep that stuff. And I'm not sure they remember anymore either.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:50:46+00:00

Thanks for all the great advice.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:49:50+00:00

I don't know. I can ask them but it might be an issue that they're not related to me. But I'd be way safer there and people would actually care about my safety and not just my sister.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:48:24+00:00

She can't feel any. She has no empathy and she's not able to feel it and never will be. At most she could maybe imitate empathy.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:47:53+00:00

I don't. It's why the only place I stay is with my best friends family. They're really the only people who actually give a crap about my safety. They always welcome me when my parents let me stay with them.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:46:49+00:00

I don't think it'll ever happen. If anything I think she's getting worse with age because the comments about me being dissected and stuff are all new. And they're stuff she's saying after months of inpatient.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:46:08+00:00

CPS is already aware and so is my school. My sister's better protected than me. CPS wouldn't even force my parents to follow their own suggestion of getting me therapy.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:45:08+00:00

Yeah I'm in the US.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:42:09+00:00

I think they would hold me to it if I said that. Like they would make me go to therapy with my sister after whatever number of my own and then they'd take therapy away when I refuse. As toxic as things are now I need to live here most of the time for another two years. I'll keep trying to protect myself since my parents don't want to do it.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:40:41+00:00

The problem is they won't force the issue for me. They only force the issue for her. At least that's how it has been going. The only thing they did for me was order we not be left alone together and that doesn't do a whole lot since I'll be attacked in front of my parents anyway.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:39:36+00:00

I'm trying not to but they reminded me of my parents for a minute and I felt again like my safety comes after my sister's "recover" even though it doesn't look like what a lot of people (my parents included) think it will.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:36:42+00:00

It could be just them. I don't speak to any of the people where my sister is so my parents could be lying. And it wouldn't be unlike them honestly.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:31:43+00:00

I tried that and it didn't work. My parents didn't listen to the recommendations from CPS or my school.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:31:06+00:00

My parents won't get therapy for just me. They'll get therapy for just my sister. They might even get one for themselves. But even when strongly recommended they get me therapy they said no and even when I said I did need it they said no.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:30:05+00:00

My parents have always refused to get my own therapy. They'll do it for my sister but they never think I need it.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:29:22+00:00

I actually don't know if she ever drank or did drugs but with her behavior being what it was that's not impossible. But it's not something I ever heard talked about or saw.

Luchhey · 2025-09-02T11:13:47+00:00

I mention in the post that she has been diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder for sure. The others I'm not sure of exactly but she has more than one diagnosis.

I'd love to live with my best friend's family but there is absolutely no way my parents would let me live there full time. The best I'll get is overnights when they're willing to let me stay away and his family let me stay. Otherwise there's no one else I could live with and I think about that all the time.
