The poster was very hurt as a child, and even his parents tried to make things better for him, but eventually, as he had otherfriendsand hobbies to keep him occupied, he moved on from the pain. However, his sisters’ attitude toward him never changed; they were just as toxic as ever.
They never even involved OP in some of the most precious moments of their lives, and he found out about them having babies throughfamily,as they never told him. Now, the poster tells us that he’s completely over them because he knows that no matter what, things aren’t going to change.
ChoosingTherapystates that when a child faces cruelty from siblings, it can have both a long and short-term impact. It also narrates that the child may begin to exhibit signs of depression, anxiety, behavior problems, and even, in some cases, thoughts of self-harm.
Otherresearchhas suggested that suffering from sibling cruelty can also lead topost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This just goes to show why the Redditors were so concerned about the impact of the toxic sisters on the poster, and looking at the research, it does seem worrying.
People also pointed out that when the sisters claimed he was being “as bad as them,” they were basically admitting to their cruel actions. Other folks also narrated the importance of sibling relationships and how much the poster missed out on because of the mean sisters.
Paper Cranes Counselingalso stressed the importance of this bond, stating that “While the bonds and relationships of siblings may vary amongst individuals, having a close relationship with our siblings can shape various aspects of our childhood. Siblings can offer a unique perspective on the world around us and can even be our first teachers, showing us how to socialize, communicate, and empathize with others.”
Folks online called out the toxic sisters for mistreating the poster and wondered how they treated their spouses or sons if they had any
