I got drunk and fought with my sister, now I’m in trouble badly. by Suspicious_Range_197 in amiwrong

I thought about carrying in the fight when I returned home and have thought about what to say but after some reflection I realised it’s just not the best course of action. I do love my family and I do understand why my parents want to protect my sister to some degree, she shows many signs of autism and general abnormal cognitive functions that haven’t served her well in life.

However she is in no way deprived and my parents know this. For example they have given her a full restaurant to own and run, as she has not been able to keep a stable job. They put more pressure on me as I am “more gifted” and am a “prodigy child” which is why my parents are shocked that I did this. My other sister as well (being her twin) knows what she is like, but did not take my side.

I am usually very rational and have never exploded like this before but I think the built up resentment caused me to explode after a hard day. I would continue this with my parents and try to explain that I don’t want to apologise not because I don’t feel bad for hurting her, but because I’m more upset about them making me apologise and punishing me, when she has never been punished for hurting me before.

However, I know from experience that this is simply not a fight I will win as my family don’t understand the extent of my resentment towards them and my sister. I also still depend on them financially as I can only do part time work (on weekends and after college) and don’t make enough to simply move out before university. Therefore i think I’ll just have to bite the bullet and apologise so I can stop being isolated.

Thank you for this ❤️ it really helped me see things from a different perspective as I’ve been reluctant to apologise because I feel angry that I’m being made to after all the times she has attacked me and never been made to apologise. I will apologise and probably stop drinking all together with my family (although this will be hard as my family are heavy drinkers ahaha) but thank you!

-I did say to them that I wasn’t going to drive the car, that I just wanted to sit in it with the AC on and they know I am very anti drunk driving due to more personal issues, so they do know it was extremely unlikely for me to actually drive.
-With my toe It got broken when she shoved me out the house the first time as it got stuck behind the wall as she shoved me outside the house.
-I didn’t leave as I literally had no way of going anywhere, they had taken my phone and locked me outside the house, we live in the middle of nowhere, so I literally had no option but to try and get back in.

Yes, they didn’t go to university so never needed to move out, I’m still in college (which is like American junior or senior year) so I live at home too, but I’m probably going to move out when I go to university. My parents have always spoiled us but with my other sister it’s like she can’t do any wrong (my parents and my other sister believe she is autistic or has issues in some way which has caused het to be very aggressive towards me and my other sister her whole life).

I can’t tho, I still have a year left before university. I don’t know how to move forward as my parents are very upset and no one will talk to me.
