[quote=Anonymous]  I grew up with the classic GC scenario. Sister was GC and went beyond sibling rivalry in her cruelty which parents refused to see. Brother cut her off long ago, but I stupidly wanted to maintain some sort of distant cordial contact. I cannot count on her for anything but chaos, and undermining me, but any time she wants something a bunch of amazon "bombs"/gifts show up at our home. It's a bunch of junk we don't want and we end up donating, but it's so predictable. I hear clunk, clunk, clunk as the delivery truck drops off this junk dump (she used to do used stuff from ebay, bow it's new stuff made in China instead). My first thought is "what does she want now?" Sure enough the major favor request comes. If I decline, she starts a massive drama and gets our nutty mother involved and goes on about how generous she has been with gifts. So, I asked her to stop sending gifts at all. Love is not purchased. We are not close. If it's a favor I think is reasonable sometimes I do it, but the junk bombs of love just create work donating it all.

Anyway after her latest meltdown when I would do a major favor she stopped the love bombs and she stopped talking to me which has been a huge relief. One of my kids wanted to keep in touch with her. She is a teenager and we let her make her own decisions for stuff like that. Sure enough the other day, clunk, clunk, clunk. A love bomb arrived. Then, this morning, a text of an insane request came. My daughter is so annoyed.She declined to do what her aunt wants and had to block my sister as the texts bombs came. Luckily we discovered a donation place that comes to us so we will set something up.

What is with people? Love develops over years with trust and kindness and loyalty. You cannot be an awful person, drop some love bombs and expect people to do things for you.[/quote]
