Talk me down

So I got a card from my sister in the mail today.  Biitch sent me a birthday card I'd sent her years ago.  It was at a time when her crazy ass was on the brink and I'd written this message saying that I loved her and I'd always be there for her, whatever.  Trying to be supportive.  So, yeah, she returned a three year old card.  The best part, the post-it on the back "I thought I'd return this since it didn't mean anything."

OH.  MY.  GOD.  

 So much rage.  I was able to hate run most of it off but I'm still stewing.  So, do I ignore it?  Or send her back something telling her that I'll be happy to be a part of her life and support her when she stops being a crazy *** and realizes that she's actually insane.   BAH!  Need more wine.

    Ignore.

    I had a situation last week on par with this. I've decided it's best to just ignore. You can't fight or reason with crazy and/or narcissistic personality disorder.

  • The absolute best way to get back at her for this nonsense is to completely ignore it and deny her the reaction she is trying to get out of you. Any attention is a win for her.

  • I agree with TSD, ignore.  but I'm ragey for you.

  • You know, I do love the idea of her WAITING for a response.  Furiously wondering why the fuuk I'm not responding. 
    image
  • Yeah, don't give her a reaction. She's trying to get a rise out of you. 
    image Ready to rumble.
  • Oh, yeah, I am mad for you.

    For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
  • So you're the less dramatic of the two sisters?

    I kid! And yes, ignore. My mom pulls this BS from time to time. When I ignore, she usually tries once more within the week, and then leaves me alone for several months. If I engage in her crazy, it just spirals. Crazy people stay crazy.

    image
  • Oh, Hell No. I agree that you must ignore because she's just trying to get your goat. Don't give her the satisfaction.

  • Every time you think about responding, just imagine her in Ana Gasteyer's house, staring at the phone, waiting for your call with her face turning bright red and her fists all clenched in rage, and then laugh at her as she screams. I think that will give you a lot more pleasure than the actual interaction that would take place.

    And I bet you one of your sister's gift cards that she'll call you or your mom or someone to check to see if you got the mail she sent you, and then you can laugh even harder.

  • By the hammer of Gasteyer!

  • Okay Bugle, here's the plan. YOU ignore while I go to Vegas and stab her in the ass.
    image

    Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
  • WE CAN'T GIVE HER THAT SATISFACTION MOO! She's clearly begging to be stabbed.
    image
  • I think you need to ignore and find a way at the same time to draw this out like the Nigerian Scammers, somehow driving her crazy (er)
  • That card somehow has to make its way back into your sister's possession without her knowing it. And then one day, when she's rifling through drawers looking for a book of matches or a pencil, she'll happen upon it and it will freak her sh!t out like nothing else in the world. There's no faster way to crazy than questioning your own sanity.

    Yes. YES.

  • I loooooove Hezz's plan, mine was to engage and send her a Birthday card meant for a 2 year old and write "You were so right about my meaningless card, here's a more appropriate one"

    You crack me up.  I have to admit, I'm also laughing at how absurd your sister is.  It's kind of hilarious.  Definitely don't respond or engage.  Just laugh about it.  It'll drive her up the wall if she can't get a reaction from you.

  • Jeeez, that is way harsh!! What royal B! I totally agree with Hezz's plan. That will freak her out for sure. :)

     (Wow, sometimes I'm kind of glad I'm an only child.)

  • Yeah ignore it. Otherwise its just passive aggressive vs. passive aggressive and round and round you go.

  • Hey, I'll be in Vegas at the end of May.  Doesn't she work at a casino?  You can send me the card and I can go to wherever she works and leave it sitting somewhere she could see it.  Then she will have the constant feeling that she needs to be looking over her shoulder for you.

    Yeah, ignore that $hit.  What a weirdo.

  • Wow, next time I need to mindfucck someone, I'm calling Hezz. That's brilliant.

    And Christin, I'm sorry your sister is so crazy.  I now feel that you were totally justified in stealing those gift cards.

  • Now I want to come to Vegas with Vinnie and follow your sister around, waiting for her to find it.

  • Where does she work (if you don't mind that being public)?  If memory serves, she may work where I am staying...I'll totally do it.  It will give me a mission other than drinking myself silly for two days straight.

  • I love this plan. Ignoring the whole thing is definitely the better plan IMO, but this one will entertain me more. I'm sorry your sister is such a fucknut Christin.

    This post gave me visions of your sister in her underpants/work uniform skulking around your yard at night trying to steal your goat.
