AITA for reading tarot for my 17yo niece about her parents' divorce without telling my sister
i (39f) own a small tarot/witchy shop in salem. my sister (42f) and her husband are going through a messy divorce and my niece mara (17f) has been struggling with which parent to live with. last month mara came into my shop after school, alone, paid with her own babysitting money, and asked for a reading about the move. she didn't want advice from family, she wanted something that felt neutral. i read for her honestly... the cards pointed toward staying close to her dad, and i told her that but also said the cards aren't a life plan, just a mirror. she went home and told my sister she wants to live with dad because "aunt selene's cards said so." my sister lost it. she called me manipulative, said i used my niece's grief to push my own agenda since dad and i have always been closer, and that a minor making a custody choice off a tarot reading is insane and irresponsible of me as an adult. i told her mara came on her own, i didn't seek her out, and i can't control what a scared kid does with information. she's not letting me see mara right now and the family group chat is split between "you should've called her the second she walked in" and "she's 17 not 7, she's allowed her own choices." so... AITA?
