[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]*if i do it to her (back out on plans) we don't talk for a week [/quote] I have a sister like this and I too have been in therapy to deal with family dynamics. You have to set your boundaries and establish that you are an adult. Sounds like your sister reacts like mine - childishly as if to "punish" me. I stopped giving a shit and remained firm and consistent (yes, if you act like a child I will treat you like one) until she FINALLY got with the program and accepted my boundaries. At one point we stopped speaking for a year. It was an awesome year! Then we had a conversation where we hashed it out and things are better now. We don't talk or spend time together often but when we do it is more pleasant for all involved. [/quote]
