My sister ruined my wedding with her drunk speech – now our parents want me to pay for her therapy

A woman has hit the internet after her “dramatic” sister ruined her wedding day and then her parents asked her to pay for her therapy afterwards.

“My wedding was supposed to be the best day of my life, right?” she started the post.

“You know the training, the months of planning, the stress, the money, all that stuff. My sister was my maid of honor and she’s always had a penchant for drama. But I figured she could hold it together for a day. “

Spoiler alert: she didn’t.

Flash forward to the big day and apparently everything is going well until the reception.

Her sister ends up wasted, “collapsing, crying, causing damage to a scene.”

“The whole atmosphere became awkward”

Her sister starts ranting about how the bride “always gets everything” and how her wedding is just another example of being the “golden child” in front of all the guests.

“Then she grabs the microphone during the speeches and starts talking about her ‘struggles’ and how it’s not fair that I’m happily married while she’s single,” she explains.

“At my wedding. The whole atmosphere became awkward and my husband’s family was simply shocked. People started leaving early and I spent the rest of the night trying to put out fires instead of enjoying what was supposed to be our special day.”

Now, weeks later, her parents say her sister is struggling with her mental health and they want me to pay for her therapy.

“Their reasoning is that since I am the ‘successful one’, I should help and that would show that I am a good sister. But like, she ruined my wedding! I don’t think I should pay the bill for melting it.

“I’m still angry about the whole thing, and honestly, I feel like she owes me an apology first.

“But my parents think I’m cold-hearted and it’s my responsibility to support him. They’re putting a lot of pressure on me, but I just don’t think it’s fair to ask me to pay for something she has to take responsibility for.

So AITA?”

“It’s not your responsibility”

In the comments, people wholeheartedly agreed with the OP, saying that the sister and her family are in the wrong here. Big time.

The top comment with 10,000 likes reads: “Looks like your sister isn’t your only problem. Tell your parents a firm ‘no’ and then refuse to discuss it again.”

“It is not your responsibility. If anything, why aren’t your parents helping him?” someone else answered.

The woman then replied, “Honestly, I don’t know. They’re acting like it’s all on me just because I’m ‘more stable’ or whatever. But it seems like they’re just passing the buck instead of dealing with it themselves. “

“I would tell your parents that not only are you not helping her, but until she is mentally stable and apologetic, you think it’s best that you and your sister don’t see each other for a while. And if they interfere, you’ll start distancing yourself from them, too,” someone else advised.
