AITA For Being Offended By My Brother’s Friend
This is a bit of a long one but I’ll try and sum it up as best I can. My brother 26 feels like he cares about his friends more than he does his own family. I was at his graduation over the weekend and it felt like he wanted to be around his friends more than us. He doesn’t call or text or anything anymore. He has this one particular friend that just bugs the hell out of me. I feel that she has done a lot of manipulation over the years. This friend is in a relationship with a trans person and has had varying other LGBT relationships. I believe that this friend has in some respects used her orientation to manipulate his views. This particular friend always insists on inserting their opinions on everything and half the time it’s terrible advice. Anyway, this friend barely acknowledges my families presence even though we were sitting in the same room. I tried to offer to take a picture with her camera of her with my brother after graduation and she acted like I was a bother. She doesn’t talk to her own family because they don’t agree with her life decisions and I feel like she’s trying to manipulate him to be the same way. I want the version of my brother back that didn’t diss his family back and I feel like this friend is a hindrance to that. Am I a jerk for being bothered so much by this person. I’d like to add that I didn’t like this person before they came out because they said some things even way back then that didn’t sit well with me. AITA
