AITA for calling out my sister at her birthday dinner and ruining the vibe?
ALL IN ALL!
The author recounts a painful experience they had at their sister Kim’s birthday dinner. Kim, who is not close to the author, was the golden child and the author was the scapegoat. Kim had a few drinks and began telling a traumatizing story from their childhood.
The author was trapped in a storage trunk with a broken lock, and Kim tried to open it with jokes. The author’s parents tried to help, but Kim’s parents did not discipline her. The experience traumatized the author, leading to severe claustrophobia and difficulty cuddling her fiancé.
The author criticized Kim for telling the story, stating it was not funny and had caused her regular nightmares and flashbacks. The author’s parents sent angry texts, claiming they owed Kim an apology for ruining her birthday. The author’s trauma continues to flood back when Kim tells the story again, causing the author to feel like they are in the trunk again.
What’s your advice for these friends?
