Sibling rivalry can get out of hand, but what happens when it turns into identity theft? A woman’s sister has been using her name, pictures and even her most traumatic experience on social media. When confronted, the sister refused to take down the posts and claimed it was just for fun. The situation escalated when the sister’s biological father got involved and accused the family of bullying his daughter. Was the woman too harsh in telling her sister she will never be her? Or is the sister in the wrong for stealing her identity and traumatic experience? Join the discussion on AITA.

When sister goes too far: identity theft and trauma
Sibling rivalry can be intense, but what happens when it turns into identity theft and emotional trauma? One Reddit user shares a story about how her sister took copying her to a whole new level, from using her name to catfishing guys using her picture. But the worst was yet to come when the sister shared the poster’s most traumatic experience on Instagram, but twisted the story to make it her own. After confronting her sister about it, the poster was left wondering if she handled the situation poorly, as her sister has locked herself in her room and their dad is supportive, but their mum and sister’s bio dad are not. Join the debate on whether or not the poster was in the wrong in demanding her sister take down the post, and the broader issue of identity theft and mental health.
