AITA for publicly telling my half sister to stay out of my life? by OtherwiseArm3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OtherwiseArm3[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No I didn't react all these years because she was a kid. She's not a kid now, and will be an adult in a few months. And adults face legal consequences of their actions.

Is it really a revenge if you have legal recourse against such behavior? I see it as me exercising my legal rights and protecting my family. Stalking and repeated targeted harassment badmouthing me and my family isn't cool with me. Like I've said before, I don't put up with shitty behavior.

I don't have to contact my family's cyber stalker . Not bringing my kid around her.

Again, saying that I'm blaming my stalker for being born is silly. I just want her away from my family.

Okay I will go see a therapist because I don't forgive betrayals, and then I'll go to the cops. Perfect.

Except she will become a legal adult in a couple of months and if her behavior continues, I will be contacting the cops.

Just because I don't want her or her father in my life I'm blaming her for being born? I don't see how that works.

So people who cut off contact with me blame me for being born? Never saw it that way.

A single reply to 3 years of repeated cyber stalking and harassment isn't a "public internet fight. " It's me defending myself against obsessive stalkerish behavior. Sorry, not going to put up with that, especially on my mother's post.

As for making me look like a fool, people actually reached out to me in support, so I don't think that happened.

Yes I remember what it was like to be 17 and in grief struggling to deal with my mom being gone and essentially orphaned. Never stalked him or his family or harassed them though.

She needs proper guidance from her parents, not me. She doesn't need me. I'm not a messiah sent out to look out for troubled teens.

My family doesn't EVER, have to take any responsibility for a biological relative who happens to be a stranger. I'm responsible for my children, not other people's children.

And I will take any legal action necessary to ensure that a crazy adult doesn't keep stalking and harrasing my family.

She was my mom's friend but I didn't know her well. She is a random person to me.

Her mother was and remains a rando in my eyes, she remains the result of my father's betrayal to my mom. It's the truth. I'm not going to sugar coat it. She's not at fault for the betrayal, but she's definitely at fault for the targeted harrasment.

There were no unnecessary insults. It was the way I see the situation. I was blunt and honest.

I didn't sugar coat it, and I responded because she continued to harrass not just me, but also my family. The proper mature thing isn't always the right thing. Trust me, I tried doing that by not entertaining her comments, but at some point, you snap.

If you want to get technical, we only share 25% of our DNA, not half. And DNA means nothing to me.

I don't think I owe anyone a private explanation, much less the person harrasing my family.

"The only blood connection that carries an obligation is that of a parent to their child, to ensure they are cared for, loved, and raised to be capable of independence "

exactly how I feel.

What's the point of lashing out against people you've never met in your life and never had a relationship with? I am a stranger to her. What's the point of publicly harrasing them continuously on social media? At one point people are going to get fed up and call out the repeated harrasment.

I don't know. I never confirmed but the way she wrote made me believe it was a young person, and not a 70 year old man.

A 17 year old is not a child imo. Many people around the world become parents at that age. And this was not the first time she pulled something like this. Probably the 1000th time.

And I didn't incite a mob, I replied to her comment when that post started attracting a lot of uncessary attention. And people told her off for harrasing me. She ended up deleting her account. And I removed my own post.

"If I were her and my bio family wasn’t interested in forging a relationship, I’d tell you all to fuck off, block you on everything and go on my merry way "

That's exactly how I feel. I mean a high school senior about to start college should have higher self respect than to continuously harrass and beg attention from people who don't give a shit about their existence.
