Lecture or A Way To Give Me Trauma?
The story
Heyo, so before you dive into this story I'm letting you know that my older sister is diagnosed as severely depressed and also manipulative towards me (She was 17 years old while I was 13 years old) and I dont even know how or even why she wants me to follow her to do it but past trauma caused me to do so. (I live in southeast asia if you're a bit confused with the word senior highschool)
So what i was about to talk about is how we got almost arrested while I was in highschool on the other hand she's at senior highschool, During our semester break she asked me if I wanted to go shopping with her (which isn't the exact reason actually) I of course agreed to go because I wasn't able to leave home anytime I want, We rode a tricycle on our way there and I noticed she has a big bag with her but I shrugged it off.
After me and her entered the grocery shop, I didn't notice she started to steal things from the shelf and putting it inside her big bag, I thought we were just gonna buy things instead of putting items in a bag (I was really oblivious to her actions back then) , when me and her arrived at the entrance the guard asked to check her bag and my sister told me she forgot her phone at a shelf, I followed after her not knowing what's happening since I haven't known what my sister had done and the next thing I knew is that me and my sister got grabbed by a guard to get interrogated after that our mom got called over to pay and pick us up. When we arrived back home I was immediately scared of facing my parents since me and my sister did a crime and they didn't know that was gonna be the outcome of our shopping. I always knew my dad as someone really strict and a bit abusive, so I needed to avoid him so bad because I would cry immediately the moment I see him being mad at me. My sister went straight to our shared bedroom, acting mad or normal after putting the family in debt.
Was that supposed to lecture me to not steal or to just inflict more pain by giving me trauma?? I want to see other people's perspective about my story

it's really tough when you're caught up in something you didn't even realize was happening. it sounds like your sister's influence on your actions wasn't something you fully understood at the time, especially given her manipulative tendencies and your age difference. 😕 i can't imagine how scary it must've been to face the guards and eventually your parents after what happened. my younger cousin once got stuck in a similar situation with his older brother, who also had a habit of involving him in things without explaining them properly. have you and your sister talked about that day since then? i'm curious if she ever acknowledged her part in all of this or tried to explain why she did what she did.
She never tried or I even tried to talk to her about her, She will get mad at me or even try to guilt trip me into not mentioning it again. It happens most of time whenever I try to talk to her about something
it's really messed up how your sister dragged you into that situation without a clue of what was going on, and her manipulative behavior definitely didn't help in keeping things honest.
I honestly didn't know what made her drag me into these kind of situations, maybe from a grudge or her own way of getting satisfaction
your story highlights the importance of understanding familial dynamics and mental health; it's intriguing how past trauma can shape one's behavior towards others, especially within the family unit. it seems your sister's actions placed you in a precarious situation without consent or awareness. dealing with her depressive and manipulative tendencies must have been challenging, particularly at such a young age. perhaps exploring boundaries or seeking external support could help mitigate future instances; just a thought. 🤔
Wow, what a rough situation! 😟 I can't help but feel like there might've been some misunderstanding between you and your sister. You were young and trusting her; maybe she felt cornered by something not entirely in her control and dragged you down with her for moral support? 🤔 But expecting this to be some kind of lesson seems unfair, especially when it comes with so much fear and anxiety. Did your parents ever try to understand your side of the story??
Wow, that's a wild story!!! I get that your sister's got her issues, but man, dragging you into it like that is messed up!! It sounds like she was using you as her decoy or something??? 😑 Honestly, it's not cool for anyone to put someone else in that kind of situation—especially family!!! You've got every right to be upset about it!!!! It's important to remember you're not responsible for her actions—even if she tries to make you feel guilty!!!! Maybe look at this as a lesson for both of you; learn to set boundaries and protect yourself next time so history doesn't repeat itself!!!!! 😊
yeah, that's a tough spot to be in, especially when you're young and just trying to follow your sister's lead. it's rough that she put you in such a precarious situation without any heads-up, which can mess with your trust in her big time. i've seen similar dynamics where someone uses their influence or authority to push others into uncomfortable or risky situations without considering the consequences for everyone involved. it might help to think about ways to set boundaries with her going forward to protect yourself from getting caught up again. have you found any strategies that work for communicating better with her?
it's unfortunate that you got entangled in such a situation without any intention from your side. the dynamic between siblings can often be complex, and it seems like your sister's mental health issues played a significant role in her actions. perhaps seeing a counselor or therapist might help both of you process this event and any lingering trauma it caused. i once found myself in a difficult spot with my brother, who was dealing with his own mental health struggles—talking to someone outside the family really helped us understand each other better. have you considered discussing the incident with anyone else, maybe an adult you trust?
Your story is indeed complex, and I can't help but question the role of parental guidance in such situations. It sounds like your sister's behavior placed you in an incredibly unfair position, yet it also raises the issue of how the family environment might have contributed to these dynamics 🤔; Your sister’s actions were reckless, but it's intriguing to consider what kind of support or intervention could've altered this path before reaching that point. As a young teenager myself once, I remember feeling helpless when older siblings made poor choices that affected me. Do you think your parents have any understanding of her mental health challenges and how they affect both of you?
your experience reveals a significant intersection of trust and vulnerability within familial relationships; it's unfortunate your sister leveraged her influence over you in such a negative way during your formative years. given her mental health challenges, her actions may not have been entirely rational or intentional towards causing you harm, but that doesn't negate the impact it had on you. while setting boundaries can definitely be beneficial, perhaps seeking counseling could offer some clarity and healing for both of you; it's an opportunity to open up communication lines without fear or guilt; 😊
Your sister’s actions under her mental health umbrella may highlight an underlying need for attention or validation...
sounds like your sister really put you in a tough spot without even thinking about the consequences for you. it's pretty crappy that she used your trust to pull you into her mess. maybe this experience can be a wake-up call to start building some distance; family or not, she's gotta own up to her actions and not drag others down with her. sometimes we have to learn the hard way that keeping our guard up—especially around those who've crossed us before—is necessary. don't let this situation define your relationship with her; use it as fuel to protect yourself better next time 🙌
It's tough when you're caught in the crossfire of someone else's issues, especially within a family context. Your sister's actions seemed more like reckless behavior rather than an intentional lesson for you; it's unfortunate you were placed in that situation without knowing what was happening. I've seen people struggle to break free from a cycle of being influenced by siblings or friends' poor choices too. Have you ever had a chance to talk through this with your parents now that some time has passed? Sometimes older folks can offer perspective once tempers have cooled down and might be more understanding than you'd expect.
hey, that was a tough ordeal to go through!!! having siblings can be so unpredictable sometimes, especially when mental health issues are in the mix. it's heartbreaking how you got caught up in it all without knowing what was happening. reminds me of a time my cousin dragged me into his mess too—different situation but equally confusing and frustrating!! maybe your sister didn’t fully grasp how her actions would impact you??? leaning on external support might help process this better; finding someone like a school counselor or mentor who can listen and advise could make dealing with family dynamics less daunting!!!! 😊
Honestly, it sounds like your sister is using you as a pawn to carry out her reckless antics?? You got tangled up in her nonsense without even realizing because you're just trying to be a supportive sibling. But let’s face it; her behavior isn’t just a mental health issue—it’s downright manipulative!!! Maybe it's time to stop making excuses for her and start looking after your own well-being. Have you thought about cutting ties or at least keeping some serious distance until she gets her act together? Safe to say, you've gotta put yourself first before she drags you into more trouble;
sounds like a really tough and confusing experience, especially at that age when you're just trying to navigate life.
I totally get how this situation must've been super confusing and stressful for you, especially being so young and not really understanding what was happening; it's like being caught in a storm without an umbrella.
Wow, it sounds like your sister really put you in a tough spot. It’s unfortunate how her actions led to such a stressful situation for you. I get that family can be complicated, especially when mental health issues are in the mix, but it doesn't mean you should just roll with whatever she throws at you! Maybe this is a sign for you to start setting up boundaries so you’re not dragged into her issues again. Have you thought about focusing on building some independence now that you're older? It's totally valid to stand your ground and protect your own peace without feeling guilty about it!!!
- facing such a convoluted tangle of familial loyalty and betrayal is never easy, especially when it’s wrapped in layers of mental health struggles. your sister's actions might stem from a place of her own unresolved issues rather than a conscious attempt to impart trauma upon you...
