[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents screwed this up royally.[/quote]

So how is this statement in ANY way helpful to the OP? Maybe dad wasn't wise (in retrospect, when hindsight is perfect 20/20) to put the few remaining eggs in the private high school basket for the youngest DD, and his gamble that she'd get scholarships for college didn't pay off, but it wasn't a screw-up. Sounds like little sister is the one who has blown things and now is avoiding responsibility for that and laying all blame on mom and dad for not being rich.

OP, this is between her and your parents of course, and not about you; however, I do understand it must be tough for you to see her lashing out so nastily at your parents. It sounds as if she wouldn't listen to you, so in your shoes I would focus on giving your parents your support. Let them know that you see how she's treating them, and YOU think they did their best. Your other sister should do the same.

I'm not clear on one important thing: Is youngest sister living with mom and dad right now? If so, that needs to change. If she's not working and contributing to the household (either by paying rent, however low, or by doing specific chores EVERY week to take those chores off your parents' hands), there needs to be a talk about a deadline for that happening. I admit, I'd be concerned,with her partying history, that if she moved out entirely she would be partying more and fall into a drugs/drink/party life from which she might not climb out. But she can't live with your folks and spew anger at them over their not being wealthy. So...IS she living with them now?[/quote]

Yes. She lives at home with them. She never co tributes to anything but us so rude to them and Bullies them.

I feel so bad for them.:( they don’t deserve this. [/quote]

This is not accurate. She was given an opportunity and she took advantage of it. Her sister was given an opportunity and she blew it. This is the youngest sister's fault. The middle sister put herself through college and paid her own way. There are only two types of people in this world - those who appreciate and take advantage of the opportunities that they have and those that squander and waste them. Those are also the types of people who blame everyone, but themselves, when they finally realize they have screwed up.

The youngest sister should have gone to this private high school (which Dad paid for with every cent he had left) and she should have understood that this was an opportunity to set herself up with a scholarship. Instead, she flunked out. How many people can't finish high school??? Even when she flunked out of the private school, instead of screwing around for a couple of years, she should have regrouped and gone to public school to finish her diploma and then go to college.

You get she's upset you are the favorite and she wasn't treated equally.[/quote][/quote]
