Bed bug infestation can be such a pain.

This woman shares how she developed PTSD from the bed bugs that she experienced at her parents’ house when she was younger.

Now that she has her own apartment, she makes sure that this problem won’t occur, but then her sister moved in with her.

See why her sister is putting her at risk of getting bed bugs in her apartment…

AITA for demanding my sister to have boundaries with our family to avoid a bedbug infestation?

My younger sister and I currently live together in an apartment.

My parent’s house became infested with bedbugs over a decade ago.

They refused to do anything about it, and let it become a huge problem. They’re everywhere—beds, in the walls, furniture, in the carpet, etc.

My sisters and I were forced to deal with them also, which has left me with major PTSD.

She got her own apartment and made sure she didn’t bring any bed bugs into her new home.

When I was old enough to leave, I got my own apartment and made sure to not bring any bugs with me.

When my younger sister asked to live with me, I was hesitant because I knew my parents still had bedbugs.

But nonetheless, I instructed her on how to clean/steam her items and allowed her to move in.

Thankfully, no bugs transferred to my apartment.

However, her sister who’s living with her is not as mindful.

My sister is very aware of my parent’s bed bug issue (that they refuse to do anything about), but she refuses to place any boundaries with them as I have.

She continues to give my mother rides in her car (although my mom has her own car).

She occasionally goes to visit my parents at their place.

Her sister tells her that she’s just being paranoid.

I told her that doing this places us at risk of getting bedbugs.

She already knows about my PTSD.

My sister doesn’t see it that way, and thinks I’m just being overdramatic and trying to keep her away from the family.

AITA?

Wow! That’s crazy that the parents haven’t done anything to resolve the bedbugs issue. That seems to be the real problem.
