[quote=Anonymous]Some of the sad people in this thread remind me of my sister. She has been overweight all her life and is currently 60lbs heavier and 4 inches shorter. We come from a very unkind family in which she was called fat and her looks were negatively compared to mine. But I was also mocked and constantly attacked as "the mean one." The difference is that she wrapped her entire self-esteem around the insults she received and it made her a jealous and bitter person. When we were younger, I looked out for her, I took care of her, and I even went as far as to be the one to take on all her college tours and pay her application fees even though I'm only five years older.

Nonetheless, she kept striking out at me and betraying my trust, trying to get even with me for insults she had received that had nothing to do with me. Now, we are acquaintances at best. She now tells me she misses our closeness and that she is very lonely. I am not moved. My husband and kids are my family and I keep her and her issues at arm's length. Be careful how you let jealousy and bitterness poison your relationships.[/quote]
