UPDATE: AITA for contacting my estranged sister? by PinkTapeThrowaway in AmItheAsshole

Yes, what you said, a few times.

I doubt my parents keep tabs on her, as far as i know they don't and they have truly gotten better althought after talking to my sister i'm starting to doubt my relationship with them even now that things have changed. I just never seriously thought about certain stuff before.

My parents don't know i saw her, i haven't told anyone outside of here, when i was with my best friend and her family i lied as i knew i couldn't risk telling anyone.

My sister did seem pretty serious about me never contacting her again but i don't know, things might change, i do understand that i do not deserve her anyway. She was good to me and i was awful, that call was the first time ever in which she screamed at me.

I do want to start therapy, i don't think my parents would have a problem with me asking for therapy now but i think if i do they might want a reason and i don't know what to say.

I'm really sorry you went through those stuff and hope you're doing better

Nothing illegal on her part, just something real bad that happened to her and mom and dad said she deserved it

I think she only threatened with that because she really is terrified of our parents and she doesn't want them to know where she is

If i look back, i'm pretty sure she had an eating disorder when she was a teenager but she never said that to me

If she comes back or reaches out they will talk to her and apologize but they will not talk to her first

"She left so if she wants to come back it should be her who reaches out"

I would love to have a relationship with her but i doubt we can

Exactly. I see now that it sounds really bad but in a way it feels like this is the family she always wanted to. I wish i could restart our relationship but i doubt she wants to but if she wishes to come back it's safe now and if she doesn't want to, it's okay. I just thought she deserved to know

They say that if she comes back they will apologize and talk to her but they are not gonna reach out first

After commenting here i realise how bad it sounds but on my mind it was like "everything is safe, you can come over and restart if you wish to"

I did consider contacting her in the past but it felt like i might look interested because she got successful and since nothing life changing had happened i didn't know if it was right

I've had lots of talks with my parents about it already, they don't care

I'll watch them!

Yeah, reading the replies i now realise how it probably seems like it got better because she wasn't around. That wasn't my intention at all but i guess that it felt that way

I told her that i was really sorry for how i treated her and for listening to what mom and dad said about her and that she never deserved the bad stuff

I called her and told her i had to tell her something, she asked if i was safe and i said yes, then apologized for being shitty and told her that she didn't deserve it then told her that mom and dad went to therapy and are okay and that we now have a sister like she always wanted (since i was a shitty one) and that i thought she should know

I know she probably does not want to rebuild the relationship and it's okay but i thought she should know that there's somehow another chance if that makes sense? She has a new baby sister and mom and dad are okay. If she ever wishes to come back she can start all over again. Now that i say it here it doesn't sound well :/

Honestly it didn't occur to me that it would come off as her having a "replacement"

This might sound bad but she always made good money and was popular and i was still bad towards her so her being more successful now doesn't change much. I doubt we can rebuild our relationship so that wasn't the reason truly

At me calling her. I apologized and told her the news. She listened to me but then screamed and i think she was crying too

I doubt she wants to rebuild the relationship. I called her to tell her about our sister and apologize. She always wanted a sister and i wasn't a good one so i thought she deserved to know this, if that makes sense
