I have a bully of a sister, and I need a neutral opinion.
She bullied me all thru our childhood. OMG this is really a long story. But what made me mad today is remembering that she stole my artwork to get accepted into art college then did not complete the program and got a good shiny job on a lie. She has taken my son from me since he was about 15, now he is 32 and getting married and i'm supposed to step up and do all, under her annoying command. I dont want my son to suffer, but for years in a row I FB him and he is off on vacation with my sister!!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

However if you don't want it to effect your son and this important time in his life I would set it aside and put him first
If you're able to maybe get into some therapy to help you work out what you need to
I hear you that you two have a lot of pain in your history however she did step up and take care of your son and for that I'd say thank you
Anger is a secondary emotion so something has caused it ..... frustration, pain etc.... If you can get to the root cause you can find some help in healing for yourself and for your son.... Who knows maybe you and your sister can find a way to heal your rift
Stealing your art is definitely not cool
Big hug.......xo

His wife basically ignores me, so I can only imagine what they have said about me! My sister and her husband are well known gossips. I make great material.
P.S, I know this is Therapist material, just writing it out to give to them when I go. This is only the beginning
family. She has a completely different last name for the past 20 y.ears.
I looked at my son at the head table and he looked at me... I wonder what he was thinking.
My father a really funny speech after, and made the comment how we were happy he had come back to the family as we lost him for afew years. I wonder what all the other guests were thinking?
Yea, and now I'm guessing my own sanity.
Maybe I am a crazy damaged person, and everyone knows & sees it but me?
My son is very quiet and kind. The speeches everyone said were full of praise for him, his best man even cried and said my son was more of a brother than his own, Like everyone LOVED him. But like OMG he doesn't like me! So that must mean I am _____?
I kinda feel like I'm that crazy relative you only let out of the attic on special occasions,
My parents are not going to be around much longer, and I will be alone.'
I seriously don't think my son will care very much.
OMG if I have to be cared for by my sister I would kill myself,
My sister is 2 years older than me.
Our mother was severely depressed for a couple of years. Had to be hospitalized. When she was sick at home, we children were alone. She would cry in bed and we would try to cheer her up,
So, I was a baby and my sister was 2 years older, looking after me. My mother would say please look after your little sister, and she would roll over in bed depressed. My sister would hit me when I did something wrong. I'm sure she hit me a lot as there was no one there to stop her. My parents admit she had an evil streak. She dominated me. I remember her always taking all the good toys away from me, just to be mean. She would give me these old broken things and hoard the new things. She hit me so hard one time my top teeth went thru my chin and I had to have stitches.
She abused cats and injured 2 of them so much they had to be put down.
She was a bully to me until about grade 8. All my friends, everyone used to ask me why i let her bully me, and said I should stand up for myself.
Rght before my grandfather died, my father interviewed him. My father asked him which grandchild he felt sorry for (there are many grandchildren). And he said me! He said he felt so bad about how my sister treated me... and I was like YES, I have a witness.
My son drank the coolaid my sister served him, And well, it is too late to de-program him.
My sister is mad at me for a number of reasons,
but mainly of my relationship with our parents that she does not have.
Her life is not as great as she had hoped.
When things are not going well in her life it is easy to turn agression toward me, as she did when we were kids.
And... I am asking your opinion if it is OK to tell my sister for once, "Fuck Off Denise!"
She'll be off on Honeymoon with my son, so OMG how did my life get so wierd?!?
And she and her daughter pick and choose what they want to steal from me.
They take it and then a couple days later I'm at her place, and my niece wants to show me her room, and she shows me the stuff they stole from me, probably out of guilt.
She knew it was wrong, an 8 year old.
Like what is that? My sister just goes and takes it and that is just fine?
She would not do that to anyone else. What is up with her.

I mean why doesn't she pick on someone else, so she can be called out for once.
And does she know she is doing this?
She must. I mean it is obvious that the things she does would upset me.
Like she really acts like I'm mentally disabled, and I think all around her think the same,.. and the way my son talks to me is the same, like I'm 5 years old or something.
So then I start questioning myself! Geez, maybe I am retarded? Maybe I don't see it but everyone else does?
My son, my sister and I used to always all go on vacation together in the early 1990's, and at that time it was fine.
I'd like to confront her, but I think she would really get mad and try to accelerate the process of taking my parents' house, etc.
I guess I need a good therapist, and at the same time get a lawyer,
And ask my father what is in his will. He will not last another year, I'd guess.
He said he'd give the house to me, about 10 years ago,
but then, later he said he'd have to give something to my sister. So I think it is divided like 30% her, 70% me.
I hate to ask my father about this stuff, cause he thinks he is fine and he will live forever.
I just read

And that's it for sure! Hit the nail on the head!
So, yes it is the best way just to avoid the person, I've let this all slide and never confronted her about any of this.
But I'd really like to tell my son what she has done, I've kept my mouth shut about all this to him, but really, the kid is in his 30's now, and he could go on vacation with me if he wanted, But he doesn't. Does he have this personality disorder? What did she say to him to make him avoid me? I feel like asking him why???
And if I didn't have my parents, I would never talk to or see my sister.
I do see a huge fight coming when my parents die. And I will be this horrible crying mess, with my live turned upside down, and she will pounce!!!
I'd bet my life on it.
