AITA for yelling at my disabled cousin for her sexual advances?
My (28M) cousin (33F) has Down’s syndrome and lives with my aunt and uncle. I’ve always been kind to her and treated her with the utmost respect. Growing up I always played with her at family events(she loves Just Dance) and we had a positive relationship. There was never anything concerning and she looked up to me as the sibling she never had.
I’ve been struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and panic attacks ever since I had a sexual encounter go wrong with a Grindr partner. I won’t get into the details on here but just know that it was extremely psychologically scarring.
At my family’s Juneteenth party at my aunt and uncle’s house, I suddenly had a panic attack and was nearly reduced to tears. I was breathing like I’d just ran a marathon, and I felt like the sky was closing in on me. I excused myself, hid in my aunt and uncle’s bathroom, and just broke down and cried.
That’s when I heard a shaking on the doorknob and faked my best cough to make sure nobody came in. But my cousin didn’t recognize this and decided to just come inside anyway(keep in mind the Down’s syndrome). She closed the door and started making a creepy laughing sound as she removed her clothes in front of me. I was horrified and sat there on the toilet trying to cover up my genitals(I had instinctively taken my pants off when I got on the toilet even though I had no intention of using it). I told her to stop and that it was inappropriate, but she kept repeating these disgusting lines I think she’d heard in porn and started pleasuring herself. I begged her to stop and to go away, but to no avail. The PTSD took over and I panicked.
When she made a move to climb onto my lap, I made a break for the door and ran out of the bathroom with my pants around my ankles. A group of elderly family members was sitting inside and was absolutely appalled at the sight of me running and screaming while exposed. My cousin came dashing out of the bathroom after me, naked, and talked to me in a singsong sexual voice. I broke.
I pulled my pants up and let loose on my cousin with a profanity-laced ableist tirade. I yelled at her for her disgusting attempt at incest and shamed her for her disability. I told her she was a worthless burden on the family and that she was a “R*****ed-ass dunce.” She burst into tears and my family members stared in horror. I can’t imagine what they were thinking. I kept bellowing my head off until my brother pulled me away and shut me up.
After a few minutes, I came to my senses and spent hours apologizing to my cousin and to my family. I cried and cried and explained what my cousin did and how I didn’t mean anything I said and I’m so so sorry. It was rough.
Since then, much of my family has completely shunned and shamed me for my behavior. I know that what I said was awful, and there’s no excuse for it. The PTSD just took over and I lost control, but nobody understands the trauma. AITA?
