[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team sister here. You sound exactly how she described you. Some looking inward is a good thing, try it.
Nothing you posted paints her in a bad light, but it paints you as a typically selfish person who imagines herself a victim. Um, no.
You described that you have demands and you are not there at all, while she is.[/quote]

I would not say it this harshly, but it is true that when I read the OP, I felt there was very little introspection.[/quote]
Agree. Just how she puts it I don't see much wrong with her middle sister. Younger sister syndrome here. Her sister shows her hobby work, what is wrong with that? OP is a Ph.D., her sister is looking for some praise from her highly educated sis? What is grandiose in that?

Uh, didn't OP say that her sister was a lawyer? If the sister is looking for praise, it's not because she envies OP's career or education.[/quote]
Oh, come on. All of us look for some small praise and admiration here and there. Maybe op's sister is trying to find a common ground with her, and maybe this is her effort to talk about something natural? Maybe op's sister too is trying to make their relationship better? And op's sees it as a negative thing. This could be a simple miscommunication?OP is trying and sees her own efforts, but can't see her sister's efforts? And vice versa?[/quote]

Hi, this is op. I don't see her sharing her artwork (or her tik tok or her new consignment clothes pics etc) as negative, I bought her first piece when she started. I enjoy my sister, I appreciate what her husband does for my parents very much  (food shops, I left out that he does much of the helping). I was speaking about her specifically attacking me as absent with my parents. We both find common ground, we both say nice things to each other. She is more of an exhibitionist, and so i see more and do more supporting. Despite that, and feeling like we had a good vibe going, she attacked in a particularly harsh way and lied. That was my issue. I support her and think her work is really good.[/quote]
