She Told Her Parents That They Would Be Kicked Out Of Her Baby Shower If They Brought Her Sister Along
This twenty-four-year-old woman and her older sister, Tessa, have never really been that close. In fact, she believes that Tessa has always hated her– and Tessa kind of proved that after never being there for her during their childhood.
“I got bullied, and Tessa ignored it, stayed silent about it, and spent time with my bullies– one of which was her best friend’s younger sister. I lost someone I cared about, and Tessa would lie to our parents and say she had comforted me when she hadn’t,” she recalled.
“When Tessa was going through anything, she would snap at me and turn me away if I wanted to help. The best times were when she ignored my existence.”
So, by the time she was twelve and Tessa was seventeen, she could not live with their horrible sister relationship anymore. And once they were left alone for a few hours one day, she decided to take the opportunity to extend an olive branch.
She asked Tessa what she had done wrong over the years and if there was any way she could fix it. But, what her sister responded was not what she had expected.
Apparently, Tessa claimed to have never wanted a sibling. In fact, Tessa said her one wish was for their parents to take her back since she “was a mistake.”
“It crushed my twelve-year-old to hear those words, even if part of me knew it,” she said.
But, her parents had no clue just how much Tessa hated her until she was sixteen and Tessa had just gotten married.
It all began when her parents were confused about why she was not invited to the wedding, and she told them to just let it go.

But, her parents said they could not leave it alone since she was Tessa’s sister. Plus, Tessa had invited a bunch of other children her age and younger to the event, which made her lack of an invite that much more shocking.
So, she was eventually forced to simply tell her parents that Tessa just did not want her there. And when they asked why she had to spill the beans about what Tessa had told her back in the day.
At first, her parents did not believe her. But then, they realized she was telling the truth and confronted Tessa about her behavior. They called Tessa out for acting cruel and cold and told Tessa she needed to grow up.
Nonetheless, her parents still attended Tessa’s wedding, and, ever since, she and Tessa have barely been in each other’s lives.
Anyway, now that she is twenty-four and pregnant, everything has seemingly changed– because once Tessa found out about the news, she began actually hearing from her sister a lot more.
And apparently, it’s because Tessa wants to be a good aunt and to know her child– even though Tessa’s personal feelings toward her as a sister have not changed.
But, according to her parents, Tessa’s newfound feelings might be more about her own fertility struggles.
“My parents made me aware of the fact that Tessa cannot have children and that she’s probably realizing now how wrong she was. But, that doesn’t change anything for me,” she explained.
More specifically, she does not want Tessa to be in her daughter’s life. First of all, she does not trust Tessa around her child. And second, she knows that Tessa still hates her.
Despite her feelings, though, her parents have been asking her to let Tessa back into her life. In fact, they even believe that Tessa should be invited to her baby shower in order to start being an aunt.
Understandably, though, she said no. And her parents did leave it alone for a short while.
But, with the baby shower date approaching quickly, they have started badgering her to invite Tessa again.
So, she had to make a tough decision and ultimately told her parents that if they brought Tessa to the baby shower, they would be kicked out.
Now, her parents are furious at her and believe she is being a bully, just like Tessa was.
In turn, she has been left wondering if refusing to allow Tessa to attend her baby shower was the right thing to do or if she is being a jerk to her sister.
Do you think she has a right not to want Tessa at the baby shower? Would you have made the same decision if you were in her shoes?
