My older sister and I are very close and got into an argument in which she weaponized my mental health condition. I warned her before hand not to push me or use it against me. She insulted me about 4 times about it and I blocked her and removed her AITA?

It you’re very close then instead of blocking I probably would have just stopped responding. But either way it’s good to enforce your boundaries.

Honestly I think it’s fine to have a bit of time to cool off before talking to her again especially if you told multiple times to stop doing something and she ignored it I feel like this happens a lot with younger siblings because we’re often looked at like the babies of the family, but we’re actually adults

Also FYI she also has mental health issues where I’ve been nothing but supportive and did not weaponized it against her.

I understand I had a similar situation. My older sister and I used to be close and one day she weaponized my mental health issues against me and said some hurtful things I could never forget or forgive. I pulled back after that and we tried to talk a little but she made it difficult so we don’t talk now. I don’t think you’re in the wrong but maybe unblock in a bit? I’m sorry that happened to you

Nah, this is just what women do when they are losing an argument. She’s just petty. Next argument yall have you should use one of her insecurities against her

Sorry to hear that your sister was so cruel to you. But you should be very proud of yourself that you didn’t stoop to her level by throwing her own mental health issues in her face. That takes a lot of inner strength! Hope you give yourself lots of self care. I am sending you big comforting hugs! 💜

I’ll probably unblock her after 24 hours but bc my mental health diagnosis is so heavily stigmatized already it really hurt that she brought it up 3 times without me dishing it back out at her.

Yeah that’s exactly very close to my situation, I blocked bc I didn’t want anymore nasty attacks from her and I don’t want this to ruin our sisterhood, but lines were crossed on her part and I don’t think she will ever own up to it. Shes incredibly stubborn and I’m holding my ground this time because I had to sit through her attacking me when I wanted to address her sending me TikTok’s I wasn’t interested in because they were about 🍃 and I want to stay far away from it due to family history.

That’s exactly it! Like I have my own place about to grad in a month, and I pay all my own bills but I still get treated like I’m a kid sibling. Does that ever go away?

Honestly it takes time but for me my siblings have not fully started treated me like an adult but I find that if I’m very serious and stern on matters I care about the youngest sibling thing kinda fades into the background.( this is also after I’ve cut contact with them for month after situations.
