[quote=Anonymous]+1 mental health treatment and tough love. Your parents need to demand therapy and (pending diagnosis) start cutting the cord.

Either she is a brat or she could have an undiagnosed personality disorder leading to increased dependence and/or poor life choices. Rule out the later - then she needs to learn that there are consequences to actions and its time to stand on her own. Unfortunately, many of these folks never grow out of it.  I know 40 year olds still 100% reliant on their parents ($$) and unable to hold a job for more than a few months at time.  Why should they? Their parents still buy them everything they need.

I feel your frustration. There is nothing that drives me crazier than watching someone get everything for free with little regard for others. Hang in there.  And don't give in to her demands.

Do your parents know that this special treatment upsets you?  IT could drive a wedge between you and your sister - I can't imagine a parent would want that.[/quote]
