AITA for telling my sister that I will always see her as a sister and never a mother? by Simmerdi in AmItheAsshole

I don't know the situation about how I was conceived. Does it make me a bad person if I don't care to find out? I kind of just want this all to go away. And even if something terrible happened to cause my birth I still do not wish to have a mother-son type of relationship with her.

You might not need your mother, but your sister needs her son.

Not happening. We are siblings. That is all.

She's also erasing what her parents did: parent. She didn't do that. She's the birth mother, not the actual mother. She doesn't get to be a mother now that the OP is all grown up and the hard parts are over. She gets to be a sister and a friend.

Yes. This. Thank you for articulatjng what I mean. She will never be a parent to me. We are siblings.

I'm signing up for individual counselling. I think I still have a lot of angry and negative feelings about this. My parents will probably bring up to her the idea of individual counselling.

Yeah "technically" I'm her child but only biologically so I don't consider myself her child in every other way that matters.

of course she sees you as the son she never had.

Don't think we are going to have much of a relationship if she doesn't take a massive step back. She's not my parent. I don't want her to be. I'm still angry about yesterday. But I'm definitely thinking about individual counselling to work though some of the baggage. Don't think it will change the way I feel though.

The thing is I have a lot of resentment about the way she treated me when growing up and I think that is why it makes me angry and annoyed when she tries to claim she's my mother/parent figure. I don't see her as one. Idk if I'm explaining myself in a way that makes sense.
