A teenager’s brother, who was diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) at the age of 12, was targeted by a cousin who didn’t understand the seriousness of his condition. Despite attempts by the parents to intervene, the cousin continued to intentionally push his buttons at every family gathering. When a group of cousins planned to watch a movie, the teenager took matters into her own hands and gave the cousin the wrong time to protect her brother’s mental health. The plan worked and the cousins were able to enjoy the movie without any issues. However, when the cousin found out, she was inconsolable and the teenager and her brother were grounded by their parents. In this post, the teenager seeks advice from Reddit on whether or not she was in the wrong. Read on to find out the reactions and comments from the Reddit community.
