[quote=Anonymous]My sister is an mean spirited person in general, but she likes to keep up appearances so until I simply refused to accept any gifts one of the many ways she liked to exercise her demons was with passsive aggressive gifts. I have posted about this before.

For years in early adulthood she would claim she emailed me a gift card, but I never recieved it. Like lucy at the football I would let her know I didn't get it because I don't like to think of someone wasting money. I would check junk. There would be this back and forth and it would never arrive until i finally just ignored those emails and she would involve my mom. My mother always felt there was some mistake even though she knew my sister had a dark side.

When I had mt first kid she sent me an ebay gift of a bunch of baby clothes with stains and holes. I also have received broken necklaces, a broken vase, chocolates after I lost a lot of weight due to prevent diabetes, and a baking cookbook both because I was trying to prevent diabetes (high sugar baked goods0, but also she said I now had to bake for her any time she was in town-I am not a baker.

Every gift or non-gift turned into thank you not being enough and complaints to my mother to try to suck her into drama about how I wasn't appreciative. When I was stupid enough to defend myself my mother always was of the opinion a gift is something good even if it's a bunch of stained clothes with holes.

My sister has so many friendship and dating relationships explode, but my mother just sees her as an innocent victim. I have distanced myself because I figure it's only a matter of time before she sends me something like a dead rabbit and I have way too much life stress to hear about her latest drama.[/quote]
