So here’s some backstory:

I have an older sister (approximately thirteen years older than me) who has been diagnosed with several chronic illnesses and PTSD from our childhoods.

For a bit of backstory, she introduced me to wilderness camping and hiking and ive been posting on my own social media about how much I adore what she introduced me to. Pretty recently (a few weeks ago), I was diagnosed with the exact same illnesses as well as PTSD. I told her about this, maybe seeking some re-assurance or tips on how she deals with these illnesses and how she copes in her day-to-day life since I’m pretty new to all of this. Since then, she’d read the messages I sent but never responded and limited how much I could see of her posts on social media.

MOST recently (tonight), she texted me saying I had to hear her out very carefully, that she was setting a “hard boundary.” I agreed and waited for her next text.

In the next text, she told me that she felt as though I was copying all of her interests “despite not having any background for liking them the way she does” and faking my (our shared) chronic illnesses to “copy her,” essentially accusing me of having Munchausen Syndrome even though real Medical Doctors are the ones that diagnosed me with the same things she has.

After this, I was honestly just so shocked that I didn’t even know what to say so I left it on read to think about it for around twenty minutes. After thinking about it, I blocked her on all social medias and our phone numbers because I fought for years the same way she did for my diagnoses of my chronic illnesses and felt what she was saying to me was very disrespectful. She, and this encounter, hurt me in ways I didn’t even realize she was capable of. I reached out to a couple of friends after all this happened and explained why I was feeling so anxious after this encounter and all they said was to give it time, things will calm down, and she will apologize eventually. But I’m not sure I want to ever talk to her again after this.

So, be honest with me: AITAH for blocking my older sister completely out of my life and not wanting to talk with her again?
