[quote=Anonymous]Some people use withdrawal as a weapon. And as a means of sick, manipulative control.

This is the case with my sibling. An awful person who browbeat or denigrated anyone who dared to disagree with her or her opinion. You have different perspective than her? Well, "you're an idiot." Said loudly, often and with furor.

Make a decision about your own household or kids she didn't agree with? Then it's, "Knowing your DH as I do, I don't think he'd approve of that. Your decision is just stupid."  Like she was more knowledgeable about my own DH than she was. Then she'd go behind my back and talk to him about the issue trying to get him to take her side and manipulate everyone towards a conflict.

If you didn't capitulate to her whims or pushed back, her immediate reaction was to cut you off without any further discussion.

She went 7 years without speaking to our mother and would actually walk by her on the street and ignore her. Wound up doing this to every single one of our immediate family members at some point. Every. Single. One.

Last time she pulled it on me, I realized how much better our lives were without her in it. It's been years now and I have zero interest in ever reconciling.

Oh, and she has a penchant for having sick affairs with other people's husbands and/or widowers. She had an affair with one of my parents' friends (40 years older than her) after his wife died. She was bragging to everyone he was thinking of putting her in his will.

She is fully blocked and I've advised family members to only inform me about her if she dies. Because she is essentially dead to me now, I only want confirmation.

There are nasty, evil people in the world. You may have the misfortune of having one as your sibling. [/quote]
