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.

  • Really? Cheese and rice, Christin. I can only hope that someday she smartens up and realizes what an asshat she is.

  • Dude, that is insane.  Your sister is awful.  I would send her a bill for the gifts you sent to her.

  • When I saw this post title, I did a Napoleon Dynamite, "Yessssssssss."

    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'm not saying shiit to her. I'm done speaking to her. My brother told me this morning he's about to mail her gifts, but he's not sure why, except he doesn't want to later hear about the year without a Christmas. Sigh. When I think of the beautiful Banana Republic jewelry I sent that troll I want to cry.

  • She seriously needs help.  I want to hear more about the fight between her and your mom.  How did she end up ripping the shirt?

    I sincerely he bought her coal for Christmas.  That would be the only acceptable gift.

  • How freaking petty!  You sent gifties to your obnoxious sister and she can't even address a card to you?  And what about poor . . . what's her name?  Bella?  Your little pup?  No holiday greetings for her, either, I guess.

  • Short version. Mom went to Vegas to spend Thanksgiving with them, cook them a turkey, and help them move the following week. Now, these two are both seriously BSC. They get in some fight over something small, but it escalates to the point my sister, in her own words, "totally lost it on Mom." Scary. Mom says you can't treat me like this, I'm going to go home, yadda yadda. Well, Megan needs Mom to help her move, so Megan takes my Mom's cell phone away to prevent her from leaving. As mom starts trying to search Megan's drawers for said phone, Megan goes nuts over such an invasion of her privacy and starts pushing my mom out of the room, ripping her shirt in the process. A few hours later Megan goes to work, WITH Mom's phone and calls me telling me to convince mom she has to stay. No such luck. Mom leaves that night, takes a cab to the airport where she sits all night, without a phone, and then flies home on Thanksgiving morning. She did hide my sister's laptop before she left, which mom thought was pretty damn hilarious. Hmmm. I guess there is no short way to tell this story.

  • Holyshit! What an asshole_!

    Did they ever get the health insurance crap straightened out with her husband?

  • 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.

  • Woah. That's all kinds of crazy. Don't stoop to her level, C dogg. As good as it might feel to hide her laptop and tell her in no uncertain terms that she sucks donkey balls it's giving her the ammo she craves to throw back in your face.

    . I honestly don't even care anymore. It felt good going off on her. I'm done.

  • I bet it did feel good unleashing on her. I'd like to throw shaving cream pies in her face. 
    image Ready to rumble.
  • 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.

  • Just remember the good times, like when she thought she was psychic because she won the rock-paper-scissors competition at work.

  • It's easier not to speak to her when no one else is. In the past when I've cut her off my Mom would usually guilt me about it. I do wish the Goblin King would take her away. RIGHT NOW.

  • 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?

  • There's a whole lot of effed up in there.

    I honestly don't think so. I believe my sister is probably mentally I'll to some extent. When I've even suggested something as mild as an anxiety problem she became very defensive and argumentative. I think she could have borderline personality disorder. Both she and my mother have an ability to portray themselves as victims to an extent that I just find unfathomable. I don't see that changing. Our not communicating with her will just add fuel to that, but theres nothing I can really do for her. Its not like she's non-functioning. She just lives in an alternate reality where she is a victim of circumstance, her family, and basically the entire world. How do you reason with that?
    image
  • 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.

  • Yes Mulva. Way to get the point.
