Why is my aunt still offended by something I said over 10 years ago?

[Anonymous]

My aunt had an abortion when she was 19. We got into an argument ten years ago and I made fun of her for having an abortion. I apologized after also. Many years later she still hates me for it is she mentally ill or something?

Nope, she's right to do so. You made fun of her for a hard choice she had to make, literally poked fun at the dead. No shit she's going to dislike you. Doesn't matter if you apologized, you still did it.

*facepalm*
losing a baby is on of the most disturbing things a woman can go through even if its intentional... you dont make fun of things like that. I hate people for less tbh.

It happened a long time ago, time for people to move on.

If your father had raped you 10 years ago would you have forgiven him by now?

[Asker]

That’s illegal, he could have said anything from a decade ago and I would have forgiven him.

Because she keeps reliving what you said in her consciousness and it gets her emotional like the day you said it. It's been 10 years for you but for her it hasn't because she has kept it alive in her mind.
