After 30 years, I finally exposed my stepsister who made my life miserable - and now my family...

[@matthewscorner2990]

"But you forgive me, right?" THE AUDACITY

[@thereseremus6849]

Forgive you ? For what ? Own up to what you want to be forgiven for, and I'll see how I feel.

[@katemcbride8715]

The more I listen to peoples family situations the more I think that the toxicity is bound in "we are family" needs to be undone. Once being family literally dictated survival but not anymore. I'm not saying no one should count on family or seek help from family. I'm saying that you should assess your family as you would assess anyone in your life. How do they treat you? Are you given respect and encouraged to be respectful of other people? Are you spoken to as a person and with equal thought and care? You get the idea? If not then seek what you need from other places, build relationships with people who do treat you as you need. Family by choice is often a better fit.

What kind of mom don't know her own children, she believes the child she didn't raise, apparently she never cared for op if she didn't truly know him, if i was him after exposing his step sister I'd cut contact with his mom and step dad

[@lilogonzales6625]

The mom is so entitled. She failed her son. Betray him for 30 years, making favourites with a girl who is not blood related ... And what?? "But you'll forgive me, right?" No. That's not easy. She hurted him for 30 years🎉🎉

[@MelRRTT]

Too much drama, I never talk with them again, specially If my life Is happy.

[@laughingaardvark3128]

It's incredibly entitled by the mother to say "But you forgive me, right?". Why should he? I didn't see an apology anywhere in there. All he got was whoops. It's up to OP but I think he should have cut contact with the toxic people decades ago. I hope he got therapy.

How does confessing to your private secrets at all convince them your telling the truth? Also how would these secrets get out 30 plus years later and how would the step sister even know about them?

[@stillhere1425]

Even if you had been as bad as your wicked stepsister painted you, your parents' treatment of you would have been unfair. The only child with no allowance? Not allowed to drive or work? Were they trying to raise a serial killer? Because if you were a bad seed, they were only making sure you would be angry and resentful. Thank goodness you are not the person they thought you were. Forgive your parents, then have as little to do with them as possible. Your brothers are victims of the troublemaker's campaign of disinformation, so go easier on them. Give them a chance to make it up to you. They didn't ask to be unfairly favored.

The story makes no sense...

[@sugarbeef]

AI doesn't care if it makes sense, it was told to write from a prompt and not told to make sense.

[@andwhoisyou4811]

Yep, big time

[@hisuniquestyle3269]

YTA that wasn’t your business to tell. Now what if she actually told him? You’d look even more ridiculous. It’s giving you were jealous of her relationship and wanted to ruin it.

[@matthewscorner2990]

What wasn't his business? Him telling his mom about all the secrets he'd kept over the years to dissolve step-sister of ammunition? Or sharing her text to his wife about himself with the group chat to show them how toxic she was? The point is that there was nothing for her TO tell. He would only do that if he felt there was nothing he had done that she could point to as some dramatic secret, hence why he put all his own established secrets on the table. She had nothing to work with and he knew that. Even if she had made something up, he could disprove it. In what way is any of this about jealousy of her relationship? Especially when she's the one instigating every bit of drama they have, even 30 years later.
