Sometimes I wish that we were able to choose our family. I am so tired of waiting for my sister to grow up and act her age. Mid twenties is enough time to learn that the world does not revolve around her.
Seriously, I thought that as you got older you also became more wise and mature. She still acts the same way she did in High School. You know the I’m better than you and you should just do what I want because of it. She belittles family members just because she thinks she is so much better.
I am waiting for the time when when she gets a piece of her own medicine. I am tired of shrugging things off, ignoring her jabs and insults. Now that we are in the digital world, she has taken her comments to the new level posting insults on my facebook wall.
I’ve tried talking to her, it just doesn’t work. At least my husband’s family is normal. I love his sister, she is a nice, warm person. The complete opposite of my flesh and blood sister. I just needed to vent. Family is so frustrating.

Having had a similar situation years ago, I cut all contact with my Bible-thumping sister who would drive me nuts with her Dr. Laura Shitslinger philosphy and laying judgement on the way I lived. We reconnected when she called to apologize for being an asshole for five years and I welcomed her back with open arms. Maybe your sister will get the message if you block her from FB and disappear from her life for a while.
I’ve believed this for most of my life: Friends are the Cosmic Muffin’s apology for family.
You could try a few “Fuck off bitch and grow up”, then completely ignore her.
Most people usually do grow up, unfortunately the ones that don’t are a pain in the ass.
You could tell your sister to get off the welfare and meth.
Sisters can really suck sometimes. Especially older sisters when you’re the younger brother. I’ve explained this in great detail already over on “LTWWL” in the “Love” entitled “my sisters rock.”
You don’t pick your family…& your not stuck with them either. Just simply exclude them from your life. you don’t have to be nasty, you just never have time for them, & for it to work I mean never, not at family functions nothing nowhere. They’ll either come around or contiue to be assholes.
PS. give up face crack, it doesn’t hurt at all. Those who actually know you & care about you, will stay in contact, anyone else is a waste of your time.
