[quote=Anonymous]Hello Everyone,

I am the evil and crazy older sister that my younger sister probably complains to her friends about. I just wanted to tell MY side of the story.

My sister and I grew up in a tight-knit loving home. Our parents showered us with love and care and ensured we had everything we needed/wanted. All their love and attention, however, couldn't make up for the fact that, being a preemie, I was always the awkward, super skinny, ugly looking kid. You know those cute little 6 year olds with huge cheeks and bright big eyes? That was my sister. She had straight black hair, chubby cheeks and big bright brown eyes. Due to being born a preemie- I was sickly. Constant bouts of diarrhea and asthma attacks left me looking stick thin and very small for my age. Children would always make fun of my small size and squeaky voice, adults would look at me concerned and confused. Everyone wanted to befriend my sister and adults took her in their arms and wanted to take photos with her.

I wasn't resentful of her at first. It just was what it was. But as we reached middle school and beyond, our differences became more apparent. My health improved but I grew into a really petite girl with awkward features who was't quite comfy in her body. My sister blossomed into  a beautiful social butterfly. I was reclusive and isolated myself from everyone not feeling good enough to participate in social activities.

Fast forward, I am in a low paying job and am married to an amazing guy who I can't believe is in love with me. My sister works in a great job and makes a lot of money and is dating a super successful guy from a rich family.

Although I'm happy with my life and have tried to overcome my struggles, I am still jealous of her. I'm unnecessarily short with and rude to her. She does not deserve it. She hasn't done me any wrong, she doesn't deserve it.

I feel awful for being mean and spiteful but it really comes from a deep place of insecurity and resentment and envy harbored over the years.

She thinks im crazy and hates me. I probably deserve it. [/quote]
