[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.

Finally got a response and it was " I  had no idea you were so upset. We should be able to communicate like adults. [b]I didn't think you'd get so upset over 'not dating[/b]" , and  Distance is fine, but we're all getting older  we don't know how much time is left."

TO which I said You no very well it was more than "not dating" I agree we are getting too old, and you are too old for the mean girl things, and as for  not having much time left   why weren't you thinking like that when you went along with the nasty things he was saying?"

I'm so done with these people. I wish  I could have a normal family.[/quote]

Your sister's response was so passive-aggressive, it makes me cringe. Your response about mean-girl behavior was brilliant. I'm sure your sister is going to get defensive.  I bolded the line that was meant to be mean and hurtful, deliberately so. The 'not much time left' is meant to be a way to guilt you.

I would respond again with "I understand there isn't much time left, which is why I wish I could be with everyone without these type of comments being made. Until that can happen, I choose to have some distance". That leaves the action item on her, not on you. [/quote]
