A woman is fuming online after her “dramatic” sister ruined her wedding day and then her parents demanded she pay for her therapy afterward.
“My wedding was supposed to be the best day of my life, right?” He started the post.
“You know all the effort, the months of planning, the stress, the money, it all. My sister was my maid of honor, and she always had a tendency to create drama. But I thought she could keep it together for a day.
Spoiler alert: He didn’t.
Fast forward to the big day and apparently everything is going well until the reception.
Her sister was devastated, “fell down, started crying, a scene ruined.”
“The whole atmosphere became strange”
Her sister starts ranting about how the bride “always gets everything” and how her wedding is another example of her being the “golden child” in front of all her guests.
“Then she grabs the mic during speeches and starts ranting about her “struggles” and how it’s not fair that I’m happily married when she’s single,” she explains.
“At my wedding. The whole situation became awkward, and my husband’s family was just… shocked. People started leaving early, and I spent the rest of the night tending the fire instead of enjoying my special day.
Now, a few weeks later, her parents say her sister is struggling with her mental health, and they want me to pay for her therapy.
“Their logic is that since I’m ‘successful’ I should help, and that will show I’m a good sister. But like, he ruined my marriage! I don’t think I should pay the bill for his downfall.
“I’m still angry about the whole thing, and honestly, I think the first thing he should do is apologize to me.
“But my parents think I am being cruel and it is my responsibility to support him. They’re putting a lot of pressure on me, but I don’t think it’s fair to ask me to pay for something that he clearly has to take accountability for.
So, AITA?”
“That’s not your responsibility”
In the comments, people completely agreed with the OP, saying that her sister and family are in the wrong here. big time.
The top comment with 10K likes reads: “Looks like your sister isn’t your only problem. Tell your parents a firm ‘no’ and then refuse to discuss it.
“That’s not your responsibility. If anything, why aren’t your parents helping him?” Someone else replied.
The woman then replied: “Honestly, no idea. They’re acting like it’s all on me because I’m ‘more stable’ or whatever. But it feels like they are just passing on the responsibility instead of taking responsibility themselves.”
“I would tell your parents that not only are you not helping her, but until she becomes mentally stable and apologizes, you think it would be better if you and your sister do something. Do not meet each other for a period of time. And if they interfere, you too will start distancing yourself from them,” someone else advised.
