Ahhh so my sister just sat me down and asked me 'not to tell anyone if I'm unhappy visiting' because the 'energy' of it makes her uncomfortable. Please stop talking to my friends or mom- or friends at meetings- and acknowledging problems between us.

Stress
I just said fine Mandy if that's what it takes. But it's not true. She doesn't comprehend anything about my life now, and I'm done trying to explain it. Me saying that we share at meetings to get problems off our chests or share successes falls on her ears deafly. She sees it as me 'dissing' her. Ummm, it's me working on how not to punch you in the face and learn something from this mess Blowup

Quote from VorlonFrog :
Honestly, I think some of the greatest and most beneficial teachings of "the program" are to acknowledge and apologize for your past shortcomings, then move on and live in the moment. You cannot change your past behavior, but you can certainly behave better in the present. There's no benefit in getting stuck in the past, nor is there any benefit in worrying endlessly about the future.
That's good advice for pretty much anyone.

I might have to pass that on to my friend Thumbup

Why don't you tell her that? On second thought, the world is full of idiots, and your sister might be one. I don't mean to say bad things about your sister, but some people just can't get past themselves for one minute. All they think is me me me me me! I forget who wrote it, but you should check out a book called "Boundaries". It's about how to deal with situations like this.

I had 3 littles on my back tonight as i crawled around the house making horse noises. The proceeded to choke each other out for the best seat on the saddle until only one was left. She got a cookie and a pat on the head for being the strongest. I honestly don't teach my kids to share. They can share with someone who asks nicely, but when someone comes up and just takes something I tell them to take it back. If someone comes up and asks nicely I tell them they can share and find another toy to play with.

She is incredibly self-centered. I can tell because I am too. Spot it, you got it, right?

Is there anywhere else you can stay for a week?

I tried telling her that already. She doesn't get it or care to. And I'm past caring what she understands. My job is to keep myself sane and sober and to not Intentionally cause harm to another person. This is the best I can do right now. I'm not fighting, I'm not throwing money at her, I'm barely engaging her lame attempts at safe conversation. I'm 40 and not 12- we don't share a wall every night anymore. I never understood why 'families' weren't close. Now I get it. I'll never be able to give her enough money, favors, anything to make her love or like me. It's time to just let go and wish her Aloha.

I'm just treading water and trying to be the least miserable I can til I can be home. It's like 1k to change my flight and thats just not worth it at this point.
