Hi,

It sucked growing up. After many years of therapy for this one issue, I am not over it yet.
AND for some stinking reason, my siblings BLAME me for what they went through.
I cry about all that sometimes.

I am sorry that your siblings blame you.
(((((HUGS))))))

My sister,and I are still trying to figure out our parents,and why they treated us the way they did. It's a complicated thing,but we are still trying to figure out why we received a lack of love from them. BF:hug::hug::hug:

phone w/ sis
 

Hi,

I called my sis to ask her what I thought might be an easy question.

She got grumpy (yelled at me) because she could not hear me on the cheap crappy SPEAKER phone she uses to talk to me.
She asked me to repeat the question quickly but I chose not to since she was being impatient.

I told her I had to get off the phone and sort of hung up on her rather than stay on the phone and allow things to get worse.

I was sad for hours. 'Still am but I expect to be recovered enough to manage going to bed.

Mari I'm sorry that you are going through a sibling rivalry type of thing. There is hope. My sister,and I fought each other,and when dad was alive,after his stroke he became very hostile to me. He exploded at me on the phone at times. It was very upsetting. Before Dad died we got along. My sister,and I are getting along now.

You can pretty much tell the motives of the heart of people when people are treating you wrong. I hope that your sister changes like mine did for me. She said I changed,but I think it was both of us. She said I became much better when I started taking seroquel.:confused: I hope that she lives a long life,because she has a bad form of MS,and I need her to be here. I may be being selfish,but I need her. She does not have depression,anxiety or anything like that. It appears that I got all of that. BF:hug::hug::hug:
