[quote=Anonymous]"Also don't assume it is always the young person who does the cutting off. People always that it was I who broke it off, but alas no. She broke it off. And, I was always a good kid, honor roll, ivy league, never in trouble, total nerd, etc. I never thought life would shake out this way. I've heard through the family grapevine she tells people that I'm addicted to drugs because that's the only way I could be in love with and married to my DH, and that our children must be crack babies living in poverty - we are both doctors who met in med school, so life is opposite."

I wonder if she is jealous of you?  That is completely possible.

I have a friend who did better than her sibling - the sibling was given absolutely everything, even what the family technically did not have.  The sibling threw all of their opportunities away and totally wasted each and every one of them.

My friend did very well in life, without any support of any kind, (as if she didn't even have parents, most of the time).  No one understood why her parents did everything for one child, and not the others (my friend had other siblings). The parents would ask the spoiled sibling "why can't you be more like (my friend)?!" Which of course, infuriated the sibling.

The sibling would do weird stuff like take on my friend's identity and accomplishments, claiming they were hers (not my friend's).  If became more and more strange, each year, until my friend finally had it, and cut off communication with their sibling.  It was obvious the sibling was/is greedy and probably mentally ill, with (at the very least) strong personality and identity disorders, control issues, and addictions.

Even thought the sibling was a grown adult, they could not hack that my friend did better, for whatever reason. The sibling could not control their own life, so they tried to control my friend, which of course, was ridiculous. When a sibling needs proper professional help, and does not get it, then takes it out on the rest of the family, it is bad.  No reason for my friend to have to suffer.  I totally understand cutting off someone like that.  It can be toxic, and there was/is no helping someone like her sibling, who refuses to see reality. I have met the sibling, and if you ask me, the sibling was/is absolutely jealous of my friend, who is the nicest person I know.     [/quote]
