[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you necessarily mean to, but you come across as very much "I think I am way better than my sister.  I'm more mature, have more to offer, have my life put together more than her" etc.  You may want to watch how you come off because that's likely contributing to this dynamic.  It's hard to get along with someone who thinks they are so much better than you.  [/quote]

OP here.  I hear that.  I probably am coming across with an attitude right now, because she's been really hateful towards me, while expecting me to just sit there for hours while she complains and vents (daily) and if I'm not extremely vocal about how I support her specific decisions, she gets very upset with me, yells at me, and treats me like crap.  She knows my life is not perfect and I've had a lot of my own struggles, but honestly, I've always had to push aside anything I'm struggling with or my needs to give space for her constant crises.  She's been through a lot for sure, and so I've been flexible with allowing her to vent, ect. but there's never been any sort of reciprocal care.  Without getting too much into the background, I have encouraged her through the years; when she left her ex, through her divorce & custody battle (I moved them all into my home), her passions/hobbies, her wild trips that she has done, while she pursued her bachelor's degree, her college graduation, her idea for a small business, ect. I don't assume I have it all together, but relationships should be reciprocal, not one-sided.  [/quote]
