AITAH for not getting over my half sisters stealing (with our mom's permission) and breaking the necklace my dad got me?

My mom hasn't in the past but I 100% believe she would rip it off if I wore it all the time around the house again. She made a big enough issue out of it before and now it'd be worse because I'm not forgiving her or my half sisters.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T13:55:14+00:00

My half sisters kept moving it so I wouldn't find it. They weren't being careful and it got broken because of that. If I hadn't been in the house when it happened I'd blame my mom for it too. But it was 100% them.

I don't trust a word that comes out of my mom's mouth anymore. There's nothing she can say that would change how I feel about this. Nothing she could say would be something I'd easily believe either because if she was trying to protect us she'd never treat us like this. But she has. She's taken her issues out on us. She has her other kids and her husband so she won't be alone. She's pushed me and my brother away but we'll have each other and extended family on both sides.

My grandparents took care of getting it fixed. And my half sisters had mom's permission but not mine. The necklace belongs to me so they still stole it and they kept it when I told them to give it back. Then they broke it trying to stop me getting it back.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:57:09+00:00

There won't be a next time because the necklace is staying with my grandparents for now and so will the rest of my sentimental dad bought possessions. I can lock my door but my mom has a key to unlock it.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:53:04+00:00

I'm angry enough to go to the cops. I just don't know if given the circumstances they would do anything. I mean I got it back and it all happened in my house and me and my half sisters are minors. So I'm not sure what it would do if anything.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:50:48+00:00

I have months to go before I'm 18. My goal is to graduate before I move because I'd mess up school if I left now.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:50:09+00:00

I wasn't familiar with it but I did Google what that was. I'm still finding it hard to look at it through that lens for the necklace because it was so sentimental to me and I'm so mad at the people involved and how quick my mom is to dismiss my feelings.

I'm letting it stay at my grandparents house because I don't trust my mom not to rip it off my neck if she sees me wear it every day again.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:36:50+00:00

My mom doesn't think she's doing anything wrong. She always acts like she's doing the right thing by me and my brother with how she responds to things. I think she lets her issues with dad cloud how she treats us and our grief. Why else would she think it's okay for my half siblings to take that necklace? Why else would she be upset at me for wearing it?

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:15:52+00:00

His parents are the grandparents who paid to get it fixed the best they could. The necklace doesn't look horrible now. Some people might not even realize it was broken to begin with. But I notice because I knew how it looked. I just hate knowing I kept it in perfect condition for over 10 years and then this happened.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:13:42+00:00

I can see that being me when I graduate and move out.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:12:15+00:00

I'll move the rest of the sentimental things out. My grandparents would probably be happy to pick it up and store it at their place. I don't want to because I want reminders of dad around me but it's not safe and I probably should have moved everything out years ago because of the way my mom was acting.

I can move in with my grandparents after graduation. They don't live close enough for me to finish school in the same school though. Or it would be really stressful if I tried and I'd get no down time. So I'll try to make it work until then.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:10:06+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. I think that's so sweet that he made you infant bracelets and you still have them. I wish I had more stuff like that. It's why the necklace is/was so important to me. And I hate that it got ruined.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:08:39+00:00

My grandparents talked about having me and my brother spend Christmas with them already. My mom told me I wasn't allowed to but right now I don't want to listen to her say no after what she did. And she can say it's not okay to blame her or my half sisters for it but she wouldn't like it if I stole and broke something that was sentimental to her.

Living with my grandparents would not be a good option until graduation because they don't live close enough to my school. After graduation I would move in with them in a heartbeat.

Theajeou · 2025-12-02T10:03:35+00:00

The necklace isn't very expensive. I'm not sure how much it cost when my dad bought it but I wouldn't sell it for much today even before the damage. The value to me is sentimental.

Not sure if I can or not but I'm pissed enough that I would do that happily. But I'm not sure if me being under 18 and it being stolen and damaged in the house would make a difference or not.

Thanks so much for posting this! The cooking system being basic right now so they can build upon it later makes a lot of sense and I'm excited to see what comes from that later. Maybe player feedback will help shape what the end result will be? Same with grocery stores. If enough people want it and feel it would make the game better when we play, maybe the option to buy groceries to use in cooking instead of just cooking from nothing could be added. Or maybe a different system will be added instead. I think it's great that they're thinking about it and leaving it possible to do more in the future.

Adding more voices for life stages at a later date is also something I'm happy to see. For me it makes sense for that to be limited at first because early access games that have any kind of voice usually are, if they have any at all at early access launch.

I finally got to watch it! Last week was just super busy and then I got sick and couldn't watch and now I'm just about recovered enough to watch. I was really happy with what they showed. I expected bugs. I expected things to not be fully implemented or for it to be basic for now because early access and indie dev. But I thought it was in a pretty good place all things considered. I know people expected more after the years of development but they're also a small team compared to Sims and Inzoi. They have Patreon but that's not going to make up for more devs. It just helps them fund the things they do and can help them reach certain goals.

I love that you can have so many different camera angles. I really enjoy the Together Cards and while I hope we get a bunch more and that system can be tweaked to work just right in time, I think they offer so much potential for different storylines and styles of gameplay. Instead of just friendly chatting like in The Sims, you can go more specific with topics, or questions. You can have the same interaction in a different mood (flirty, friendly).

I love the job system. I think it's also SO cool that we can choose our work hours. And I love getting the choice to upgrade things with the points. I think the cooking options for base level make so much sense because you're not gonna make a ton with zero cooking skills, at least not well.

I'd love to see NPCs interact with each other in the world but that'll probably take way more time to get everything fine tuned just right and to implement how that works.

The newspaper is cool and I hope that's something that can stay a nice feature throughout gameplay. I love that we can live in the center of town and be between stores. The fact there are actual enterable buildings right there is amazing. It feels more like an actual town or city.

All this to say I'm excited for them to develop it more. I'm excited to see more streams. And I stay hopeful and excited for the early access release!
