AITA for cutting all contact with my family because of a prank?

[@narliehs1648]

I detest pranksters, tbh. Cruel bullies, the lot of them. Good for OP.

[@rebeccaconlon9743]

Yeah, my school bullies behaved the same way... they look for someone to join in to validate their harassment. They needed a restraining order asap

[@narliehs1648]

@@rebeccaconlon9743 Absolutely agreed. The bullies I dealt with were much the same, though I was their target only at first. I became a bully hunter not long after and they really didn't like having the tables turned on them.

[@RobinSiwula-w4h]

I'm glad she went to the police and they should stay away id get a restraining order against the brother an sister

[@anthonyburke5656]

No, ghost them, they don’t hold you in love and tenderness, jealous bullies who don’t deserve to be family to you. Look for your real family, they are out there.

[@666toysoldier]

Restraining order. Police reports. Documentation of the harassment, so that if they pull some more fake documentation to dispute your home ownership, you can nail them for forgery. Sue for slander and defamation. And flame any extended family for supporting them. What do you have to lose, their love and respect?

[@sandrabieckmann2187]

You did great.. Take care of yourself.. you get you're peace..❤❤

[@emiliajohansson4897]

It sounds like her family have experience forging documnets if the letter looked that realistic.

[@stevenbateman5573]

said it before--i'll say it again--pranking is exactly the same as bullying

[@jacobgoebel7660]

Who thinks egging a car is a harmless prank ? That’s damage to property. These parents failed these two kids. Nice at least one gets it.

[@olivierdube7804]

They know how reactive she is and pushed the button multiple times since they can't respect her. And then she's the problem?! Good riddance. No respect for boundaries. It's just sad how clueless some people are.

[@peterjackhandy]

Yes, you're being selfish, and quite rightly so: Your mother misses you as the butt of the family's bullying & now they'll have to find someone else to grind down.

[@EnzoCatalan-c4h]

probably the mother, which is why she is so desperate to get the old victim back

[@johngardner4096]

Why should she return? Do her brother and sister have some new and unusual ideas that they want to try out? That sounds like it's for their benefit instead of OP's...

[@amyrussell860]

It will be hard for OP to stand her ground. But may she have the strength to persist as they will escalate it at 1st. They often don't take it seriously and will not easily give up.

[@RaidWolf89]

That wasn’t a prank that was straight up cruel and messed up.

[@andrewli6606]

It's only a prank if everyone finds it funny.

[@ssark9187]

Everyone in her family did find it funny except her.

[@andrewli6606]

@@ssark9187 She is a part of everyone.

„Please, daughter! We miss you! Come back to us.“ -mom, how can I be sure that this isn’t a prank/trap?

[@robertortiz7853]

Normally I would say yes because it’s a prank. After hearing the details, girl run from those aholes. Show yourself a modicum of self respect and go nc. Put yourself around people with positive energy and build you.

[@goodnightmyprince6734]

I hate pranks

[@TheMooseah]

Ah yes. "Pranks". Causing someone genuine emotional distress for one's own entertainment. Truly the pinnacle of humour.

[@ftkorra]

1:10 for shorts.

[@selinkorkmaz1019]

Ilyyyy

[@awdrifter3394]

What kind of snowflake can't take that initial prank? It's a harmless prank that they immediately revealed it was a prank.

[@IronShaman81]

When they saw how badly she took it and their response was laugh harder, record her, and post online just proved how pathetc they were and how little they care for her. And then they just kept sinking lower.

[@mogulmade]

So much effort went into the prank instead of celebrating her win. They do not like her at all.

[@awdrifter3394]

@@IronShaman81 Yes, I only meant the initial prank of the fake notice. Recording the reaction and then posting it were definitely out of line.
