[quote=Anonymous]It is so interesting and helpful for me to read other accounts. In my case the sibling was academically successful in a household that valued bragging rights over everything else. It doesn't matter that countless relatives, friends and teachers pointed out problems: extreme arrogance, antisocial behavior, extreme schadenfreude, and symptoms of NPD  or that she clashed with both parents often, she was fine because she was successful. She became estranged from my parents for years at a time and would come back when she needed them. She burned through people including relatives-knew how to get sympathy, would get very close, take advantage and manipulate and  and then eventually the relationship went up in flames.

Even with her fiance I pointed out abusive behavior on her part to both her and my parents and once again, someone that brilliant could do no wrong. Relationship imploded.

I am the bad guy for finally distancing myself for the sake of my family. It even took my husband a while to see how disturbed she is, for a while he pitied her. I am 6 years younger, but am expected to be a big sister to her and look out for her because she doesn't have close friends or a spouse. No thanks. After a particularly disturbing incident I have blocked her from email and phone. Thanks to Covid there is no family pressure to see her. She would gladly kill me to benefit herself, but then she [/quote]
