Reason 2,741 I hate my sister
She's always going on about how no one in our family supports her. In light of the money, time, etc. we've given to her this is a patently ridiculous statement. Still, when you are as inherently awful as she is you will inevitably alienate your relatives, sometimes simultaneously. Since Thanksgiving she has managed to alienate first my Mom (they actually had a fight that ended with my sister RIPPING my mom's shirt) then my brother, my dad, and finally me. We had a huge blow up two weeks ago. She finally returns a call after I leave three messages asking for her address. I tell her I just got her address from mom and sent her gifts. She then says "you know what I would really like instead of gifts, a family that actually supports me." So, this escalated into a monster fight where I basically told her in detail what a truly heinous person I actually think she is. Anyway, getting to the point, she sent Christmas cards that we received last night. Ours was addressed only to my husband. My brother's was addressed only to his wife. You know, much better than just not sending one at all. More of an F you.

I love your sister.

You realize that if she gets ignored, she is no longer the center of attention and this is a deliberate ploy to get you to say something to her. Negative attention is still attention!

I sincerely he bought her coal for Christmas. That would be the only acceptable gift.
o.O
Guess apples don't fall far and whatnot . . .
Holyshit! What an asshole_!
Did they ever get the health insurance crap straightened out with her husband?
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Well, huh. I can't believe she pushed your mom and stole her phone, but I was a little taken aback by your mom, too. I don't know what I would do if I was that desperate, though.
I'd like to say I wouldn't speak to her again, but I have a soft spot and a short memory when it comes to family.
The nerve!

It's really terrible that no one supports her by flying out to cook her Thanksgiving dinner and help her move. Your poor sister. And after all she's done for your family!
As your friend, I hope you never speak to her again because it's not worth it. She's never going to change. And even if she's certifiably crazy, you don't have to put up with that crap. On the other hand, as someone who loves entertaining stories, I hope she provides lots of hilarious fodder for us. I'd like to see how she escalates her attempts to guilt you into talking to her again. This oughta be fun. For us....not so much for you. Sorry about that.

LOVE. My favorite book as a kid, and I still have my copy to read to Jack.

Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I hope that your husband writes her a lovely thank you note signed only by him (just to prolong the weird.)
poor CristinSfamily.
she sounds EXHAUSTING for you all.
Absofuckinlutely! If that were my GROWN UP child acting that way, I would have done the exact same thing. The hiding of the laptop is brilliant. Your sister is so effing self centered, it makes me see stars.
My only hope is this Mission: Ignore Megan isn't short lived. Is it too much to hope that she might actually learn something if the family holds united for long enough?
I don't think there is any reasoning necessary. You keep doing what you're doing. When she comes to you with feelings bloodied and hurt that you've turned your backs on her AGAIN be blunt and brutaly honest with her with zero emotion and feeling in your voice and say,
"B!tch, you crazy."
Tell her that you're done with her emotional rollercoaster and that the world doesn't revolve around her and that you're done feeding into her emotional blackhole of sh!t and crazy. Say it. Tune her out. Say see ya later. Rinse and repeat.
*sigh*
I always wanted a sister...
Ours was addressed only to my husband. My brother's was addressed only to his wife.
Frankly, I find that hilarious. Your sister sure does do good job getting you all wound up, huh? That's funny.
