AIO to my cousin exposing my sister’s trauma
Hey everyone! I’m at the gym typing this out bc it’s been on my mind for a while and would love some outside advice!
So me (26F) and my cousin (23F) were very close, we supported eachother through some very rough times, we would talk nearly everyday, but we’d rarely meet up despite living very close.
My younger sister (let’s call her K) recently went through a very bad divorce, while it was happening, I updated my cousin on what happened. However, K’s friend invited her over and told her that some girls in the community have been gossiping about what’s happened to her, and have pointed at her at a charity event and whispering “that’s her.” My sister cried and we found out it was my cousin who had told a girl that she literally hates now. I asked my cousin why she’d tell this person our business, and she said that she didn’t say names or who it was, just what happened. But I still feel annoyed. Btw we are south asian so you already know how toxic the drama is.
Ever since then i’ve barely been replying to my cousin. I just don’t trust her. But it pains me bc I value my relationships with the people I care about, we have been like sisters until this.
A few other things to note that idk how to feel about is: my cousin told me she has a bf and they’ve been together for over a year!! I had no idea! And they’ve been on holiday several times, which hurt bc i’ve been asking to go on holiday with her for a while. I couldn’t believe she never told me this. Another weird thing is her bf has me blocked on instagram, I found this out bc she only follows 5 people but I can only see 4, my sister who follows her checked and saw all 5 including him. Is it weird that she’s made her bf block me?? I just don’t know what to think bc I feel bad for airing her messages, but I feel guilty for causing my sister to cry and feel humiliated. AIO?
