[quote=Anonymous]I relate so much to this. In our case, it's amazing how my sister can make herself out to be the victim. I am the mean sister for detaching. Her significant other relationships have gone up in flames ending with war and her relationship with her kids is strained. She is very successful in her career though so people assume she cannot be that deranged if she has achieved that level of success. Part of how she achieved that level is she will gladly take credit for other people's work or fail to give credit and because she is so intelligent and capable, all the people who have complained about her arrogance and nastiness along the way have been pushed aside since her expertise is needed.

My rule is that I am respectful, but distant if I have to see her. I don't get drawn into her jabs.I physically remove myself from those situations right away. I don't respond to any attempts at correspondent when not forced to see her a family gathering. Anytime she calls, emails or texts it is because she wants something.[/quote]
