On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, a woman (OP) recently shared a story about how she excluded her "adopted sister", Ally, from family photos during her wedding and got criticized by her family members.
The OP explained that because of financial difficulties, her younger brother and his wife lived at the OP's house. Ally always came to help her sister (the wife of OP's younger brother) babysit her kid. However, the Redditor started grappling with discomfort about Ally's place as her parents gave her a lot of attention and resources.
Tensions came to a head at the OP's wedding when she refused to include Ally in the family pictures. The OP faced family backlash.
