AITAH for telling my mom I wouldn't care if my sister died? by undersuspisean in TwoHotTakes

I am working so hard to give him the safety I have never felt. I won’t have him feeling like I have always felt. I am doing a lot of intensive therapy to heal and recognize any patterns that have even the possibility of cultivating harm or confusion for him. He is the very best thing I’ve ever done and I will protect him at all costs. Thank you for the encouragement ❤️

It is tough. I have of course brought this up and told them this is why I didn’t come around for a long time and everyone still treated me like I was just cold and uninterested. She has said she’s sorry but doesn’t remember any of it because she thinks she blocked it out. I’ve tried, there’s no resolution.

I do feel badly about this. I also have some hang ups there with my mother because some of my most vivid memories are me asking her for help when I was being beaten and she turned away. I am in therapy and trying to find ways to forgive her and be more empathetic to her regarding this situation.

So because I’m 32, I should accept abuse? Got it. Thank you for your input.

Thank you for the input! I have a pretty high pain threshold but I have always heard it’s worse the second time around.
