[quote=Anonymous]I am the oldest of 3.  My sister and I are only 16 months apart so we were very competitive with each other growing up.  We also have wildly different personalities and she is not someone I would voluntarily choose to associate with.  She's good company in some ways -- funny and gregarious, but also very loud and very vain.  Has a high paying job and uses the fact that she has so much more than everyone else in the family to make the rest of us feel bad.  (For example, last year for Christmas I wanted to get my mom something that cost $100, but only had $50 in my budget for it.  I asked her to split it with me.  She did, but then also bought my mom an iPad and apologized for the "smallness" of the joint gift.)

She and my brother are extremely close.  I like my brother a lot -- great guy in many ways.  But it burns me up that he chooses her over me every time, in every way.  So I try to separate myself from both of them as much as possible.  I'm tired of the hurt that comes from hoping for a better relationship.  I'll live with the dull ache rather than the sharp pain of constantly being reminded that the two of them have little or no love for me.
