[quote=Anonymous]Just a vent. I have a difficult sibling. They were just a very wild baby, crazy child and a difficult personality. They were constantly in trouble (not with the law or in school thankfully!), hyper, messy rooms (and I mean the kind of messy room that's bug and rodent infested/ dirty dishes). Probably the complete opposite of me and my other sibling, who just did what my parents said and were type A. I'm not bragging, just explaining why my parents found my sibling difficult and it was probably worse in comparison to us. Frankly my sibling can't even see that they got all the attention growing up.

Every year about a week before Mother's Day my sibling starts the blame game. Starts posting things about how hard their childhood was, about how they needed to be in therapy, they should have been on Adderall, how awful it was to be forced to do chores, spankings (these happened very few times). I think people didn't use Adderall and Ritalin as much then, their psychiatrists recommended against it and my sibling had organizational coaches instead.

I get that we have different parents and different experiences, but I'm sick of hearing about it. My sibling lived a cushy existence with two incredibly involved parents who cared deeply about them. Parents paid for college, grad school, new cars, and bought them their first house cash. The people who comment on their instagram posts have real problems, like drug addicted parents who physically and emotionally abused them. But sibling is so vague about their abuse that people think my parents were abusive.

We're in our 40s now. [/quote]
