[quote=Anonymous]Bottom line here is there are two camps- those that are from a really tight family and communicate freely and often and those who are bound by family ties but do not communicate more than is needed. I am from the former however had a brother who was a lot like your sister. Noone in our family "got him".

In fact like your sister, he too was a hardass and issues getting along with a lot of people. When he got his way he was often because he bullied himself into it. It was not an attractive quality. He never really made my parents feel important, or any of his siblings  for that matter. To no surprise he was married and divorced three times.

Bottom line he became seriously ill a year ago and only then when for the first time in his life he was totally vulnerable did he A. realize that the only ones really there for him were us, his family and B. and he said this himself "he had tremendous regrets over time lost".....it took getting sick for him to realize this.

Like my brother, OP's sister sounds like a poster child narcissist, its all about her. Sadly it sometimes takes a major life change for them to be jolted to see what is missing in their life.

Think OP has every right to feel sad and hurt for her parents, meddling was her prerogative but I am sure she knew she would not change her sister's behavior. Maybe it made her feel better. I get it, having gone through, I really do get it.
