WIBTA, Let me start out this post as Im a (40)that has returned to college to finish my degree. My sister (47)lied to our parents over 20 years ago that she graduated college. The reason why I know it was a lie she came to me when I was a senior in high school and told me that she had dropped out of college the year prior she was upset and she didn’t know what to do and I told her everything would be OK and that I wouldn’t tell mom and dad. My parents pressed for a while to see her grades and to see her diploma, but she always was able to make up excuses or avoid answering questions eventually, they just quit asking. They were so excited she had graduated and would tell everyone. Through the years , she’s had other issues and lied to my parents about those and me being the only one that knew the actual truth about them. For many years, it didn’t bother me that she lied to my parents about it, especially since the last two years she was supposedly on scholarship. I also know that my parents were pushing her into a degree she did not want. But I guess 20+ years of living in my sister shadow and always being told how great her degree is and how great she is. It’s finally just getting to me. My parents have made me feel like what I have accomplished in life is never good enough even now returning to college they make comments that my degree isn’t going to be as valuable as hers, even though she’s never worked in her “degree field”. I’ve been contemplating for a while just letting the truth come out, but I think I would actually feel worse. I guess I’m just looking to see what other people’s opinion are on the situation if I would be the asshole if I told my parents the whole truth.
