Like dealing with toxic waste. Your weapons are
Time
Distance &
Shielding

Use them … I gave up looking at my sisters motives. I do t live in her head nor can I control her

But I CAN control my response to her BS and protect myself .

There sure has been a guest appearance of MEASELS …. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Do these folks look into mirrors

BEVINS TORT - and I’ll keep banging that drum

They CAN get sued - personally.

Qualified immunity is just that QUALIFIED

Well intended- but still toxic. I gotcha !
Time may heal
It - don’t give up but don’t be a doormat either

I’m a huge believer in Boundaries…. And absence if my boundaries are constantly crossed.

Everyone is going to handle it differently at different times

Sounds like she has a lot of her own personal insecurities in her ego and projects that as a form of superiority

It’s pretty common but can be devastating to those surrounding that person .

They also lack the introspection to see it .
apowhichiapi.bsky.social
Not that you gave it. But that she took it and either walked over boundaries or didn’t have the normal ones.
If she’s used to having a say… then I’d set some boundaries politely but firmly and crossing them will have consequences

Set them clearly and outline the consequences
Just my 2 cents

I’m sooo sorry that it has impacted you to this level…
Lots of trauma here to and as individuals we reacted differently- I got therapy she never did
The difference shows and more so every year …

A 1,000 times. Yes - I wish it was better and spent years trying

But … as I matured I came to peace with the the fact she will never change. I but my lip for years. I don’t want flaming arguments and bite my tongue often but I also realize she will never change and operate for my personal peace

They are complicated.
She says “you’re the most like dad” didn’t say it as a compliment- but I took it as one as neither he nor I put up with her manipulations….
I also don’t like to be “led” so she avoids taking me on head to head - it’s a looser for her.

Good thing they didn’t have a goat too
apowhichiapi.bsky.social
Oh yes. The micro aggression - very familiar …
As far as taking something from my hands,ok sure
And I’d walk away in the middle of … making dinner etc
I do not tolerate her crap. After years of it I drew my line in the sand
At dad’s deathbed she still couldn’t be decent, that won’t be forgotten
apowhichiapi.bsky.social
Yes - me and mine are as well …..
we co-exist in other family members homes on holidays and family events when we have to … but avoid her like a plague .
apowhichiapi.bsky.social

Solved the problem
