29-year-old woman refuses to be aunt to her sister-in-law’s children after getting the cold shoulder for years, her brother in outrage at her distance: “I barely consider you family anymore”

Hey there, ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Some people are born more fortunate than others. It's impossible to measure fortune within someone's life, because life can't be measured. Maybe someone had money growing up, but their parents weren't around. Maybe someone had lots of family around them, but they really knew the value of a dollar. The grass is always greener, and it's too easy to compare ourselves to others. I know that people who grew up moving around a lot as children can easily resent their parents for making them change schools, and adjust to a chaotic placement. Moving around can make it so difficult to maintain relationships, and as a kid, having friends is one of the most important aspects of a child's life. But then there's children who were grossly sheltered, and may feel as though they didn't develop a thick enough skin as an adult, and therefore could resent their parents for not introducing them to the toughness of the world early on.

In the story below, the protagonist is a woman who's never been close with her SIL, but not by choice. Her SIL has made it clear where she stands in her life, until she needs her. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

My SIL suddenly expects me to act like her kids aunt and I refused. My brother is also trying to fix our relationship but I am not interested. AITA?
