Starting point is 00:00:00 I hope you enjoy this story. My siblings' partner made advances towards me during a gathering with relatives, a situation orchestrated by her former spouse. Now, my parent is spreading false information about me to our entire extended family. And I'm cutting them off. This is actually crazy and there's going to be lots of details so please bear with me. My sister recently got married. It's been about three to four months.
Starting point is 00:00:27 I didn't really see much of them after the wedding, honeymoon, and then back to work. But once a month our family all gets together and my parents host a huge feast. Since this took place a week ago, it was for the month of August. During this dinner, my bill was being extremely weird towards me. He was complimenting my body, ignoring my sister and just straight up acting so strange. It was completely unexpected for several reasons. One being his wife was sitting right next to me. Two, he has only been married a few months.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Also, he's just never spoken to Slash about me like that before. I felt really uncomfortable and I'm sure it transpired to the rest of the room because WTF. Except it was weird because nobody was pointing anything out. I was extremely confused and just wanted to leave. I left early but when I got home I just felt so icky. I don't even know how to describe it. I decided to message my sister and let her know his behavior made me uncomfortable. I told her that it was also concerning he felt comfortable enough to say these things in front of my parents and brother.
Starting point is 00:01:37 I explained that if she didn't feel comfortable being in the middle, I wouldn't mind explaining this to him myself. His behavior was so unnerving that I phacetimeed my boyfriend who was away for work in the U.S. I told him it was weird and how suddenly my Bill's behavior towards me went from that of siblings to this horribly uncomfortable situation. He was pissed, rightfully so. My sister didn't respond to my texts until the next day. She asked to meet up so I did. I was expecting her to be upset and to have him apologize for what he said.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Instead, she admits it was all a test and I passed. I was confused to say the least. What did she mean by a test? Passed. Like what's going on? out, she had her husband do those things on purpose because she wanted to see how I would react if he had said those things to me and meant them. My reaction and choice to message her afterwards told her I could be trusted around him. I was offended to say the least. Why would she think I couldn't
Starting point is 00:02:38 be trusted? Well, let me tell you the, in my opinion, not very valid reason for this lack of trust. My sister has been married before. She was 27 and the divorce was about 10 months into marriage. Her ex was a psycho to say the least. He had known me longer than he did my sister, I was the one who had introduced them. They got along well and eventually started dating. It looked like the healthiest and most romantic relationship to Grace Planet Earth. Except when they got married. During their marriage, I was staying with them because it was a closer commute to work.
Starting point is 00:03:15 They had extra bedrooms and I would pay rent and cook and clean for myself. My underwear, bras and panties, would often go missing. It started off small. I just assumed it got mixed up in my sister's laundry and would turn up eventually. But it was happening more frequently to the point I was buying underwear almost weekly. I kept pressuring my sister to admit she was stealing my underwear and she was adamant it wasn't her. I decided to just ignore it and go about my day. Something I hadn't even considered an option was the real reason.
Starting point is 00:03:49 My, former, Bill was stealing my underwear. I don't know, nor did I want to know what he was doing with it when I found out. But I was so disgusted and confused. Someone I thought was my friend, was actually just a purve. He admitted he had never really loved my sister and was just using her to get to me. I was just so creeped out and I pressed charges against him for his sickening behavior. I was able to get a restraining order and my sister divorced him almost instantly after finding out. She used something traumatic that happened to me and flipped it to make it seem like I'm the one who was untrustworthy.
Starting point is 00:04:26 She claimed I must have strung him along for him to think like that and this test was just to prove I wasn't doing it again. Safe to say I was extremely hurt and angry by her response, so I told her to never speak or contact me again if that's what she really thought of me. My family found out and for the most part agree her behavior is crazy. But my mother stood by her actions and said my sister was just trying to protect herself from being hurt again. I told her if she had just been honest with me from the start, I wouldn't have been as bothered. There's a right way to approach things and a wrong way. This isn't just wrong, it's all so crazy. Why is she so adamant it's my life goal to hurt her?
Starting point is 00:05:06 I didn't know that her ex was going to turn out like that so why am I? being punished. She claimed I should have had some indication he liked me, but he really made it seem like he was head over heels for my sister. How am I supposed to know what's going on in someone else's mind? Anyway, the family dinner was earlier for this month as it was the most compatible date for everyone's schedules yesterday. I told my parents to expect me not to show up if my sister and Bill were going. It wasn't even because I refused to ever speak to her again. I had just said that because the situation was so fresh. I told my mother I would apologize when I had cooled down a little.
Starting point is 00:05:45 It was just difficult to face them when they made me feel like a horrible person for a situation that was out of my control. My mother assured me my sister wouldn't attend so I agreed to come. When I arrived they were both there. It felt like an ambush and it sort of was. My sister demanded I apologize for my reaction because it was my own fault it happened in the first place. I can't lie, I snapped. I told her she should remove my number and the title of being my sister if she really felt that way. I just need advice because therapy isn't scheduled for another
Starting point is 00:06:19 two weeks and I feel like I just dreamt a soap opera storyline. I feel kind of bad because I do understand my sister had her trust broken completely by her ex, but I feel like that distrust shouldn't be aimed at me, but the person who actually caused it. And I was the one who introduced her to the A-hole in the first place, so I feel guilty for that already. But I'm failing to see how her schemes to manipulate me into thinking she's being wronged by a husband once again, is just far too extreme. One, I want to apologize to her for one reason, ever introducing that man to her. Two, I really need her to see that I wasn't trying anything when her ex was stealing my underwear. I was just as in the dark as her. How do I go about doing the above because I want to put this behind me
Starting point is 00:07:04 and move on. I was just about healing from her former marriage and now this one is also putting me in a very uncomfortable position. With my sister, my bill, and my own mother. Any advice on how to tackle apologizing, getting my sister's trust back, and showing her I truly just want the best for her? Edit to add additional information provided by OOP. Regarding what my father and other family members were doing during the situation, my dad was not happy with what my brother-in-law, B.L. said during the dinner back in August. When he found out about the whole plan, he actually forbade my bill from entering our family home again. My mother, however, lied and claimed he wasn't invited, but they still showed up anyway. Apparently, my dad was furious and even threatened to
Starting point is 00:07:51 call the police if they didn't leave. I wasn't there for all of this since I had already left after making my statement. But my brother later called me and filled me in on everything that happened after I left, both at the August dinner and this month's dinner. I really need to give credit to my brother and dad, who had been amazing throughout all of this. They've been so supportive and have even tried talking some sense into my mother, their words, not mine. I haven't spoken to her in a few days now, which is strange because I used to call her at least once a day. And as for my sister and her husband, I haven't talked to them at all. One thing I want to make clear, I have absolutely nothing to apologize for in this situation. What they did to me
Starting point is 00:08:35 was completely wrong. It's so hurtful to know that my sister has this image of me as someone who would deliberately cause her misery. I missed the sister I used to have, the one who loved and trusted me more than anyone else. Update 1. A lot has happened the last couple of days. I have tried to read all the comments and taken everyone's advice. This has been the outcome. I lost a sister and a mother in two days. It's heartbreaking more than anything. I had a meet-up with everyone. My boyfriend came with me so I had support during the conversation.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Honestly, it was hard to look at any of them for the way they treated me. I'm so thankful to everyone opening my eyes to the crazy behavior exhibited in the first part of this story. In front of everyone my mother admitted to knowing about the plans from the start. Sister confided in her and she agreed it was a good idea. She supported her son-in-law openly harassing her daughter. I'm in complete shock and it just hurts so much knowing she would condone this considering she knew how much I was affected by the first husband. She knew I was having a difficult time in therapy. It took me a long time to trust people again after that.
Starting point is 00:09:47 And I feel like once again, my trust has been broken. I don't know how I'm ever going to trust anyone again. I'm really thankful my boyfriend was there to comfort me because it was so hard keeping my complying my compote. her around them. My sister was not budging at all. She kept maintaining she was in the right. She said the only reason I wouldn't apologize is because deep down I knew what her ex was like. She said I just liked getting attention from him knowing he was married to my sister. She also claimed I overreacted and if it's acting then it's not harassment. I told her she shouldn't expect any calls slash texts or just not to be contacted by me until
Starting point is 00:10:26 I receive the apology I deserve from both her and my bill. Speaking of, he was pretty silent throughout the whole thing. Probably because my father threatened his life if he spoke bad about me. He did say that the only reason he did it was to placate my sister because she kept accusing him of ogling me. But still no apology from him. My mother, this one broke my heart the most. She told me I was over-exaggerating and that I should be happy to have passed my sister's test.
Starting point is 00:10:56 She actually said the words we can all move on now. I was in complete ah T-BH, how could she think that things would just go back to normal after this? I asked why she was supporting such delusional behavior. She said it was because she loved my sister and wanted her to be happy. I asked her if she loved me as much as my sister. She said yes, it seemed hesitant, but I don't want to read too much into that. I told her I wanted an apology for her schemes. She refused so I gave her the same conditions I gave my sister and Bill.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Until I get an apology I simply am not speaking to all three of them. As a result, I also probably have to go low contact with my brother and dad because they both live with my mother. I mean I'll hang out with them outside and without the presence of my mother. But if she'll let them is the question. I know some of you have suggested spending time with my boyfriend's family on holidays and occasions. I think it was just oh my person but, oh well. I haven't met my boyfriend's family before because they live in the U.S., but after this situation
Starting point is 00:12:01 I've taken two weeks paid holiday for the end of this month and he's taking me to meet them for the first time. I hope it goes well because they might be the only family I have now. My therapy session has been moved to tomorrow because I requested an emergency appointment. Wish me luck. Anyway, my biggest thanks goes to all you Redditors for helping me see the situation for what it was. For your advice and compassion, I'm really grateful. I don't think I would have been able to get through this on my own. It's likely I would have caved and apologized just for the pattern to repeat itself. Truly, thank you so much. Wishing you all the best and I hope you know that your advice might have just saved me from my need to always please others. I'll look back on this moment
Starting point is 00:12:46 anytime I feel like putting someone else's feelings above my own comfort. Hope your hearts are filled with love and happiness. Edit to add, additional information provided by OOP. In response to some questions about my brother and father's thoughts on this situation, my brother is still living with my parents, so while he doesn't agree with what happened, he's been trying to stay out of my mother's way until he can move out. As for my dad, he wants nothing to do with my brother-in-law, Biel, any more, and has made it clear he doesn't want to be around him again. I'm not entirely sure how he feels about my mother's role in all of this, or even my sisters, but during the meeting he did express disappointment in my sister and even suggested she should divorce Bill and move back home. As for the extended family,
Starting point is 00:13:32 I haven't mentioned anything to them, mostly because I'm honestly embarrassed to bring it up. So far, no one from my extended family has reached out, which makes me think that my mother and sister probably haven't said anything to them either. I appreciate all the support, and I know this trip to the States might not be the perfect solution, but it's something I'm looking. I'm looking at the looking forward to. At the same time, I do wonder if any future apologies will be sincere, or if they'll just come because of external pressure like ultimatums. It's hard to know who to trust right now, but I'll take things one step at a time. Update 2, June 6th, 2024. Posting this on my profile instead because a few people have requested an update. To be honest, there hasn't been much
Starting point is 00:14:16 to update on in that particular situation. I am in contact with my mum, since the incident because she apologized. My sister and I still do not speak. From what I know she is still married to my bill and I think they're expecting, something I inferred from Family Friends Facebook post. I am doing a lot better though. I'd become closer with my dad and brother throughout everything. My relationship with my mother is more strained now. I feel like I still can't trust her even though she apologized. I don't think we will ever be as close as we were before my sister's schemes. My relationship is going really well too. He was asking about rings so I'm thinking a proposal might be in my future. Also his parents are just the best. They've sort of taken me in
Starting point is 00:15:05 and it's so cute how they dote on me like I'm their daughter. His whole family is just incredibly supportive and uplifting. We're going to visit them again in July. I'm so excited to go back. I love it in the U.S. The weather is better, the people are are nicer and of course I get to see where my man grew up. I just feel so much lighter and happier now that I've put what my ex-Bill and current Bill have put me through behind me. I wish her the best with her pregnancy, but that's all I can do since she is still refusing to apologize. This probably wasn't the update you were looking for, but it's all I can give at this moment. Hope you're all having a wonderful day and a better summer than I'm having.
Starting point is 00:15:46 My bill and mother are not together. I've asked the person to take it down, but they've haven't responded so I just thought I would make it clear. Bill and mom have not slept together or done anything weird to my knowledge. Edit to add, additional information provided by OOP. Regarding the apology from my mom, she apologized to me back in March, shortly after my birthday. It felt sincere at the time. She explained that she just wanted to help my sister feel better and thought this was the right way to do it. She admitted that she was wrong for going along with the whole thing and for hurting me in the process. What she really wanted was for my sister and me to be close again, as she noticed we hadn't been as tight since my sister's divorce. Apparently,
Starting point is 00:16:32 when I didn't call her on my birthday, which is a family tradition to thank your mom, she realized just how badly she messed up and decided she wanted me back in her life. As for any future events, like my potential wedding, I honestly haven't even started thinking about who I would invite or not. I'm hoping that by then, things will have worked out, and maybe the birth of her baby will bring my sister to her senses, leading her to apologize. The thought of having a wedding without my sister present feels so strange and unimaginable right now, but I guess I'll have to wait and see how things unfold. Update 3, September 7, 2024. This is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to admit to myself. I wish it didn't have to come this, but unfortunately, I think it's the only way I will
Starting point is 00:17:18 ever get to live a normal life again. My sister has been telling our family members an entirely warped version of events. I only found out when I sent out Save the Dates. I got a call from an aunt telling me I was brave for inviting all these people after ruining my sister's life. I was so confused so I asked her what she meant. She elaborated a little by saying that I was wrong for trying to seduce both my sister's husbands and that my fiancé was an idiot for supporting me. I laughed, out of astonishment, not amusement. First, I told her to watch what she has to say about my soon-to-be husband. She's the only support I've had during this horrible moment in my life. Then, I told her what truly went down. She was shocked and didn't believe me. I told her she could
Starting point is 00:18:06 easily go to my parents and brother to confirm it. Well, she informed me that my mother already confirmed things for her. I was so pissed off. Words can't describe the anger that I felt in that moment. It was like everything I had gone through in the past few years had all piled up and I couldn't take it anymore. I just hung up the phone. I rang my mother who was begging for my forgiveness a few months ago. I told her I was done. She supported my delusional sister and her crazy. She supported my schemes and I forgave her. Out of the goodness of my heart, I chose to put that shit behind me so I didn't lose my mother. But she went behind my back and sided with my sister in front of our extended family. She made everyone think I was callous enough to seduce my own bills. She allowed people
Starting point is 00:18:54 to spread lies about her own daughter. I told her I never want to see or speak to her again. I called my brother and asked him if he knew any of this had been happening. Thankfully he didn't. Neither did my dad. I then wrote a letter to my sister. The details of the letter held four main points. One, that I was deeply sorry for everything she had been through. It did not mean I understood or forgave her actions, but I was apologetic for how things turned out. Two, she needed to seek help for what my former bill put her through.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Three, I was stunned by the fact she thought she could lie about what happened to everyone and get away with it. She had truly lost the right to call herself my sister from that point on. For, I wished her the very best in life, but that I never wanted to see or hear from her ever again. She has caused me far too much pain to the point I'll never be able to forgive her. I will never speak to, reach out, or even entertain the idea of reconciling with my mother or sister again. It is up to my father and brother whether they choose to associate with them but for me, everything is too unfixable. The lies have stacked up so much that there isn't a pair of scissors sharp enough to cut through. My fiancé and I have decided that with everything that has happened, we will just have a town hall wedding.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Just a couple witnesses and me and him. I'm so eternally grateful to have found him. He's my entire world and without him here to talk me out of a breakdown, I might never have survived. Family is not always who you are born with, but those you meet along the way. I've been so incredibly lucky to have met some of the best people I can start my own family with. It is with great sadness that I make this update. It is my own fault for believing in the best of people. To think that I would ever get an apology is just so naive,
Starting point is 00:20:48 but I think this may have been a blessing in disguise. At the very least, I'm choosing to see it like that. This chapter of my life is officially over and I can now move on to better and brighter things. Thank you all for tuning into this portion of my life. Love you all and hope that you all have better luck with family members than I have. Another relevant comment. Keketoto, it's kind of hard to believe that brother and dad have no idea that so many people in the family are believing in this crazy narrative.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Boop, my dad doesn't speak to my mom's side at all, he hates them. He had no idea this fake story was going around to my aunties. Growing up we would always defend him to my grandma, aunties, and uncles. It makes it worse that my sister went to them to tell them this distorted version of events when they don't even like our own dad. She's selfish and will do anything to make people believe her. It's partly why I don't bother correcting them. They're going to believe what they want to believe no matter how much proof I have.
Starting point is 00:21:50 My mom's side already don't like me because I'm with a white guy, L.O.L. They think I'm ashamed of my culture, ESAB, though I was fully planning on having an Indian wedding.
