Woman Refuses to Reconcile With Bullying Brother Disowned by Parents

Family drama alert! A woman on the AITA subreddit is grappling with her parents’ ultimatum after they disowned her brother for being gay. The brother apparently contacted her to try and fix their relationship, but she’s not having it. She says that her brother bullied her, sabotaged her relationships, and turned her friends against her.

She’s now married with a child and another on the way, and her parents want her to have blood-related descendants to carry on the family name, which her brother can’t do. They won’t accept adoption or surrogacy. The woman says that her brother is now the cause of her family’s dysfunction and that she doesn’t want anything to do with him or her parents.

However, her brother is accusing her of being homophobic and petty. What do you think – is she the a**hole?
