Yea Linda, she is my younger sister too. It has ALWAYS been this way, and mine too is a long and horrid story with her. I get sad sometimes when I see people on TV who are close with their siblings, but I have moved on. She is who she is, and I cant change her. She sounds just like yours, the tattling, the bashing and it goes on and on. Enough already! Gosh we are in our 40's and it still does not end. Oh yea and the sucking up.....Bluck POO! The extremes she has gone to you would not believe! I just try and stay true to myself, and just have learned to ignore it. Family get togethers can be stressful, but at least since my dad has been sick she has not been on any public rampages to put me down. (oh yea...always love that one) I just wont play the game anymore. I dont engage. Oh I wish you were my sister too! Well, as in life, we cant always pick our family....but I love my ALS family here!
Hugs, Kari
 
Kari, I could send the smoking flying Monkey's that now carry tazzzzzzzers to visit her....would that help?! Do NOT allow her to define your reality. Every second that you feel upset is giving her power. Even if you do not believe it, tell yourself that you are the GOLDEN CHILD and screw with her brain and tell her that you are! lol As my sweet Web would tell you if he were able to speak, "DO NOT LET HER KNOW WHERE YOUR GOAT IS PARKED"! hugs, Kay Marie
 
Oh Kay Marie, you are just to funny! You know, I just dont feel any animosity towards her anymore, she just doesnt affect me personally...it just "whatever.." BUT DO NOT MESS WITH MY DADS EMOTIONAL HEALTH WITH THE SSDD! That is where she gets me riled now. Its weird, my dad is my dad, but now that he is sick, I feel like HIS mama bear! I have sent my love and hugs to my mom (dad doesnt really get on the net much) every day, and I will call them on Tuesday once my sister is gone, and see what other damage control has to be done. Then, in 2 weeks it is my turn to fly down for the weekend. Will I spend my time talking about my sister? NO! It will be all sunshine, happiness and puppy dog tails believe me!..............Hugs!
 
"DO NOT LET HER KNOW WHERE YOUR GOAT IS PARKED"

LMAO My husband has always prided himself with getting other people's goats!

Don't let your AH sister get to you Kari! I'm now numb to my bro's antics. Bro wanted to know the other night why WE never call or come over. This was after I translated my husband asking when was BIL going to come see him. HELLLLLOOOOOO? They don't have a clue and really don't care. They are selfish. Don't worry about them. They will get their due.
 
Lets hope so. My mother never liked my husband, we do not speak to this day because of it and other issues. We share the same birthday,coming up this Friday. I called her when I got the DX of ALS, for Les, and she basically said he deserved it. My birthday sucks for me since I share it with her, and every year I reach out to her, only to be rejected again. Actually, I didnt call last year, and I wont this year either. It just makes me sad. Glad I have all you folks here on the forum.. HUGS Lori
 
Lori, as soon as you just "let it go" it cant hurt you anymore. I know that is easier said than done, but try. Just try and remember that her birthday does not have anything to do with yours. Its just coincidence. You simply must have a good birthday girl! Whoop it up, keep busy, go to the casino with Les.....but no matter what, do NOT let your mom sink into your life in any way. Every time you think about it, snap out of it and think of something else. Let her and her demons go.....

CJ - what is up with your brother?! Talk about complete denial being self centered! Wow, people just continue to amaze me. Well, its like we always say, everyone is different...WAY DIFFERENT sometimes!

Hugs ALL!
 
OK, I have just decided to call today, NEW SISTER DAY You all are my new real sisters. I want to choose mine... lol Hugs, L
 
Good idea Linda, I have three real sisters (no brothers) and how many virtual sisters here? I talk to you all more than to my real sisters!

Kari, my mom passed away in 2005 at 84 from a combination of Osteoporosis (take your calcium pills everyone) and Parkinson's but I know her spirit is still with me. When I said "Mom always liked you best" I was referring to a thing that the Smothers Brothers used to do (you are too young to remember them). It was just so fitting when we have to deal with our siblings and the history that we have with them.
 
Well, whew, my sister has left Arizona, and I finally got to talk to my dad tonight. He sounded tired, but no slurring. I settled his mind again about my daughters car, the plumbing, the refinancing of my home etc.....(could tell my sister was busy with him all weekend)...I am going down March 19th for 4 nights. That will be the first time I have been ALONE with my parents since I was a little wee little girl at the age of 3! I always get to leave the house when I see my dad when he is up here, and then I can go home and cry. (or cry by the time it hit my car door) But in Arizona, I will need to be Mary Sunshine the whole time without letting my dad see that I am upset about anything. Its kinda freaking me out a bit. Its not good to bring up ALS at all around him right now, we can only talk about it if he brings it up. I will have to bite my tongue about getting the bathrooms wchr ready, the wheelchair ready, get on top of the VA denials etc.....Any suggestions anyone?
Hugs to all my buds!
Kari
