[quote=Anonymous]This sounds a lot like a dynamic between two cousins of mine. The younger one very subtly bullied the older one for years.

The older one moved away for college and grad school and started standing up for herself when the younger sister started in with her little digs and veiled insults. Younger one didn’t like it and tried to take control of the situation, but older one was just done with being treated badly.

The younger sister pulled this stuff on her parents, too. She’d go months at a time without talking to the elderly parents if they didn’t toe the line she drew. One of the parents died during a time when she hadn’t spoken to them for a couple months. She thinks the extended family doesn’t know she treated her parents this way because she likes to appear to be charming and a “connector” of people, but we actually all know how she really is.

The older sister needed to remove herself from contact with the younger one to avoid her hurtful behaviors. There’s no need in this world to spend time with people who don’t like you and say things to try to hurt you.
