Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My brother has recently expressed interest in going to visit my grandmother on Sunday. I don’t want to. I don’t care for the woman, and to be honest, I don’t like her. She lives six hours away and isn’t a dot on my radar at any time, but she’s in town, so he wants to see her I guess. My brother and I have always been the sort of oddballs of the family. We’re not very close to anyone besides my one cousin, and a few tias and tios. I can only guess his reason for wanting to see her is because he wants to get closer to the family. 

Well he’s decided that I’m going to join him, and by decide I mean he’s told my parents he wants to go see her, and somehow it’s now us going to see her. I don’t want to. I have work, I don’t know her, and again I don’t care for her.

Now let’s get to the why: my grandmother is a bad person. Plain and simple. She’s a hypocrite who thumps the bible, but talks about how all “them n-words are moving to the town now.” She’s “had” every disease under the sun. In one year she had cancer, a broken elbow, cancer again, and a stroke. The year before that she had cancer again. Sometimes the cancer is in her lungs, sometimes brain, sometimes it’s random body parts that develop cancer. My dad had a heart attack last year, and a week later she also had a heart attack with the same story as my dad’s. She talks like a baby because of her “stroke” so holding a conversation with her is impossible. Basically either this woman is real life iron man and should be studied, or she’s a liar. The fact that she’s never been sick from her “cancer treatments” or looks the same year after year leads me to believe she’s full of shit. So there’s a few reasons I don’t like her.

I don’t know this woman, I’m an adult, she’s someone who I’ve decided I don’t like and don’t want to spend time with. I’m not going to start shit, but I’m not going out of my way to visit her, and if she wants to come see me I’ll tell her no. My brother, my dad, and my mom (who usually agrees with me about this) say I should lighten up, but I’m not arguing with them, I’m just firmly saying no. They say I’ll regret it later, which may be true, but I can worry about that later. Also, again I do not know this woman, so if something happens to her I cannot say I would care too much, or it would be a huge burden. I love my family, but they don’t need me to tag along with them. Also I work that night, and they want me to go spend my free time before work with her, and I can think of a million fucking things I’d rather do than see her. But maybe I should lighten up.

So, AITA? Because I really feel like I’m being one, but at the same time, I can’t help the way I feel, and I don’t want to have this bitter angry feeling that I’ll know I get from seeing her.
