Been a while since I posted... family issues...
First off to those who replied to my posts even though it was long ago I thank you for the ones that were helpful... my compassion goes out to those who have suffered with this covid epidemic and who have suffered the loss of loved ones...
I basically posted about setting the ground work for a good atmosphere to deal with problems of my own..
this was mostly about being agressed and watching the whole family become agressed upon by my younger sister who moved back home...upon by an abusive family member.. verbaly, emotionally, phychologically and although this is family and family sometimes is not fair... some of this stuff takes the cake... and sets me off which is not good... I have tried to avoid her when she is being agressive yet one never knows what she is going to make an issue out of... its usually my father who she can stand to be in the same room with...
Its not like I am keeping record but she makes a point out of creating such a negative vibe and emotionally intrusive memory of things she wishes to have control over or have others be considerate of her which I think is more or less "fear her over"
This stuff has grown to what I think can be identified as elder abuse...
During the height of the Covid epidemic when the leathal strain of covid was being spread around... she was exposed at the office she works at... she contracted covid and agreed to stay in her room and order food... She used the same bathrooom as my elderly parents did... and one day due to some petty issue she got into an uproar about something my father did so she went in to my mothers bedroom and stayed in the screaming at my mother (with a cheap mask on)... being she has the nature of not being able to be considerate of circumstances and goes into a rage easily and excuses it as a fast fight to flight response....( believe me I'd like to see here take a flight and get out of here because she is sometimes too much to put up with) so personaly feelings aside ( as usual) she could have exposed my mother to covid... I had to take both my father and mother to a testing site to get them tested... finally when the vaccine came out and they were eligable I took them for their first and also their second dose...
so gross neglect for the safetry of my elder parents along with harrasement for that occassion...
She also LOCKS the upstairs bathroom door in the moring especially when she stays home from work and then she goes back to her bedroom to la de da... do what ever so that when ever she decides to come out and use the upstairs bathroom ( to wash her cat dishes in for her 2 cats that she sleeps with) or do what ever... In the mean time my 89 year old mother and my 93 year old father have to go use the 1/2 bathroom that is down the stairs... first thing in the morning when they have just gotten out of bed...If my father even knocks on the door when she is in there she replies and says something in a nasty tone of voice... if she is not in there then the door is locked she has it reserved for herself and you knock but dont hear anything and have to go downstairs...
one day I forgot that she was in the shower upstairs and went downstairs to use the toilet.. and she started her stomping and yelling routine becuase which finally ended with her slaming the door and saying something mean as she went on her way to work for that day.. you see if you turn any single fuacest or put the luandry on the shower will either go cold or hot.... and believe me she lavishes herself in there sometimes using almost all of the hot water.. Usually when I am taking a shower if I sense that the water pressure drops I just step to the side and wait or re adjusts the handles....
I deal enough with my elderly father who has the tendecy to display a mean disposition.. him being older his filter has diminished and sometimes you see it more for some of the slightest inconvieninces...
she also started verbally abusive situation at like 9:30 at night about handling my parents money becuase my older sister helped them to pay the taxes and had to be reimbursed.. so I broke it to her politely that dad was worried so my older sister helped him now she needs to be zelled the money... she was furious... instead of grateful...
I have thought of putting up hidden security cameras and voice activated recorrding devices outside the bathroom, in the kitchen, anywhere this abuse occurs... I am truly tired of it... avoiding her it has not helped...
she even says things out loud that she thinks are "good ideas" like "its to bad I cant get mom to sell the house to me for a dollar." so a nursing home cant take it.. A house that I moved back to after setbacks and injury and illness to try to make a nice place to and to help my parets and to hopefully heal, recover, and grow...as I kept trying to set things in order and it has been a hard job just maintaining the place... She doesn't pay rent here its not her condo..she barely takes care of my parents untill I had to tell her she has got to food shop for them, she currently signed my father up for physical therapy which takes 1 hour once or twice a week while she uses that day takes off work and works from home in order to avoid going in to work... other than that she is yelling at him as soon as she comes back to the home environment... as soon as he got back from physical therapy one day he stopped at the door to meet my mother and decided to hand her his hat and sunglasses... she seemed as if she could not wait behind him grew impatient and slammed the kitcen door so hard that the walls shook and windows rattled... I was standing by the kitchen sink when this happened.. the woman has just got no patience for the eldery... if she is getting something she wants out of it thats one thing... but being witness to a free place for her to stay while she is so abusive toward my parents sets off my ptsd and I become regretful and remorseful of other times where i suffered and have take losses of abuse at the hands and will and whim of other people.. and it leaves me in bad state... or makes me want to rush and I take dangerous chances and make rash decisions trying to speed that along so I could to get my act together even more so so I dont get stuck here with here after my parents pass..
If I do get any of these episodes on video and audio I will consider getting a lawyer and filing a police report...
I am so tired of this... and hopefully that video will not be a video of either of my parents who fell down the stairs becuase she locked the bathroom to reserve it for herself....
Thank God my parents made it through covid...I am glad they are still around...

Hey all, i know its been quite awhile since i posted on here. Its been a summer all right. Its been something else........... You know how they say not to open the can of worms? Well a few months ago i decided to find out what my due date would have been for my first baby, the one conceived by r***. My baby would have been due on March 4th of 2006. They would be 20 years old. I was R**** on June...

I look for places in Florida... Virginia, North and South Carolina, Places that have the appalacian trail running through here on the east coast... and have even thought about Ariozona... but I really dont like Hot, hot weather and the cold winter weather is becoming too much to contend with where I am at here in New Jersey.
this is what a wonderful modern day society and job situation has rought for our family... crazy spoiled kids or adults that act like kids or worse.... she works for a bank and has bankers hours... she has used her stay at home work from home "I dont feel good" excuse for weeks... So as I am putting my work coat away I hear someone suddenly start kicking at the porch door... Bang, bang, bang.... and a few seconds later.... the same thing.... so I yell from the closet area is.... o.k., o.k., o.k.!!! G.D. it!!! thats how mad I was... this sister of mine is destroying the family setting with the anger she has and generates....
IT seems like she cant wait for the slightest inconvienince... she had her phone,,, she has a key to the house...
I have come home late many times to a house with no porch lights and unlocked the doot and let myself in... why should she involve my parents or myself in her upset feelings that someone may have thought every one was home on this rainy night.... She chose to go to the gym.... ( I guess that shows how sick she really was today....
She just loves things to get angry about and uses them to beat on others with simple mistakes, inconvieneinces, and she complains about everything,,, she cant manage to do one physical job cleaning or dishes... or clean a toilet without commenting about her disgust and she takes for ever to get around to doing any chores... she lives her for free... she works at a loan company and makes good pay with over time and everything...
I think that she just wanted to purposely shock my parents and get them to come and run from the living room through the kitchen so she could then yell at them for not noticing or remembering that she was going out....
I have a big sign I put on the door for this that says open... which means leave it open.... she did not put that sign up or leave a note....
what does she expect...
are we supposed to have E.S.P... in order to kater to her needs... Or else
face the threat of her screaming complaining and carrying on and making everyone angry while she blames us for not having a red carpet ready and rolled out for her for when she return from the gym after pretending to be sick and playing hookie from work after staying home all day to work on her computer....
whats worse is that her behjavior is like that of my father when he was younger.... he was verbally abusive, phychologically abusive in his lack of trust and vary controlling untrusting and suspicious... He would us bursts of anger to shock people and make outrageous shocking and abusive statements,,, whisper insults as if they were the depressing truth,,,
and now that he has mellowed out at 93 years old and I have to do the upkeep of the house... she moved back and took over his behavior,,, ruining the atmosphere and reminding me of how bad he was.... it is a terrible thing to have to see this in her,,, sometimes she will lash out and within 5 minits or even in and instant shes back to playing princess... depending on weather or not she wants to be a princess other wise we all might have to endure her torture which for what ever reason she gets enjoyment out of or thinks that there is some form of empowerment in...
I personally think these are all pot shots and vandalistic practices that she has learned to incorporate in her narracasitic practices and in the abuse of others around her whoever else she wants to be witnesses of her terrible terrroristic behavior... Namely me... BECAUSE SHE KNOWS IT DRIVES ME CRAZY... AND SHE WILL NEVER RELENT SHE WILL JUST KEEP TRYING TO MAKE THINGS ESCALATE UNTIL I GET ANGRY ENOUGH TO SLAM THINGS AROUND... AND THEN SHE WILL DO A 180 and claim that her behavior was not the cause or that she did not do anything as far as she is concerned... meanwhile she instigated just about all of it...'
As far as her yelling and verbal abuse goes...Its just wrong...I dont think that my parents are in their right minds to decide whether or not if they should have to put up with her behavior... she has conditions them too well,,, and I should not have to kater... worry... look out for whatever she might gat mad over... All I want for her to do is Stop being a negecltful and abusive person whenever things dont go according to her wishes or expectations and a little work cleaning up or help or understanding is necessary... I mean the kind of shut your mouth understanding and only open it to explain things nicely to my parents if there should be anything that she has anything to do with them or with any other members of the family...
these are just my thoughts sorry for such a long reply...
