[quote=Anonymous]OP your sister sounds SO much like me, except I am better about calling my parents, especially now that there we have kids, mostly out of deeply-ingrained sense of responsibility/duty. Still, most of the time they're the ones doing the calling. But if one of them was alone, I'd be more likely to follow up. I do think that you're getting offended by unintentional stuff. She's self-involved, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care. And she may just expect her immediate family to "get" her and to accept her with her flaws. If you want her to do things differently, I would say be specific and tell her what you want/need, without emotional baggage or attacks or anything. These will make her feel defensive and hurt her, which will make her shut down. Your parents need to step up and act like grown ups.[/quote]
