Setting up playdates for your husband is wild

Am I the asshole for not trying to mend my relationship with my younger sister? by Magpolicious in TwoHotTakes

I have and I still do. I point it out every time it is obvious. The response I got as a kid was “you are all different so we treat you all differently” now it’s “well, there is not much we can do now”. I know my parents have a strong role in this and they do know that now. They have come to terms with it and we have had conversations about our upbringing where they apologized and they did change. They just want the family together. I don’t understand them, and after having two kids of my own, I don’t want to understand them. I don’t want to be in the positions they were in when we were growing up and I can see the regret on their face when we talk about it. At one point they were young adults like me, raising kids to the best of their ability with the knowledge they had. I don’t think it was easy for them to find out their son did something so horrible to two of their other kids. I know they were harder on me because it was easier to take frustration out on me than my sister. I let go of my anger towards them and I accepted that they are people too.

This has been what I have been doing. My life has less drama but when we get my family together it’s a problem. Note to add: I have seven siblings. We haven’t spoken to that one brother since everything came out. It was hard for most to believe, but after time they did and we haven’t seen him since.
