26-year-old faces relentless guilt-tripping from family when she refuses to “be the bigger person" and let estranged stepsister move in with her indefinitely: “She's never been kind to me”

Who do you go to when you have totally reached rock bottom? Most people would probably say their family; that's sort of what they're for. While other animal species instinctually separate from their young when they've learned more or less how to take care of themselves, we humans stay bonded with our kin throughout our lives. We're social creatures, and we are biologically motivated to form empathetic communities to support each other. However, we also have emotions, opinions, and hang ups. We hold grudges, have boundaries, and don't always get along with people just because we are related – either biologically or socially.

In our story today, a young woman is pressured to house her stepsister after she gets kicked out of her own apartment. They never got along as kids, and they've barely communicated as adults, so she naturally decides to protect her peace. Her sister might not be crashing at her place any time soon, but now our protagonist has to deal with endless guilt-tripping from everyone else.

AITAH for refusing to let my stepsister move in after she got kicked out, even though my dad says I should "be the bigger person"?

If they're so worried about their daughter, why don't the parents just offer to take her in?

It's great that she is setting her boundaries this early on. It's easier to deal with a bit of guilt-tripping than bankrolling a whole other person for who knows how long.
