I have a sister who is 8 years younger then me. She is extremely over bearing and has no respect for me. She is the type of person who "knows everything" and "her way is the right way." She questions everything I do and always has something negative and rude to say about it. When my family is all together, which is quite often, she likes to be the center of attention, talks very loudly and only interested in topics that are about herself. Whenever, I start to discuss something she normally interrupts and never really listens to what I have to say. She is also known for taking something you have said and completely misinterprets what you have said and when the story is repeated it is always all wrong. She is however, close to my other younger sister and seems to hold her with a lot more respect then I receive. She invites my sister out all the time and is always sweet to her and interested in her life. I am always excluded. (Unless it's a family function.) I'm not sure why? My youngest sister is single, parties almost every night, and hasn't really became a "grown up" yet, where as for myself: I'm married, own a home, have a daughter and make a decent income (which is pretty comparable to HER life.) I have never done her wrong, in fact I always try to be nice and actually I have the "biggest heart" when it comes to me and my sisters. I have no brothers, maybe it's a "girl thing or 2's company, three's a crowd thing." Anyways, she always makes me mad but seriously there is no talking or reasoning with her. I've tried in the past and it never got me anywhere. I would never "not associate" myself with her, she is my sister and I'm very close to my family but I'm sick of dealing with her being so rude, especially to me.
Anyone have similar family experiences and how do you handle it.
