[quote=Anonymous]OP, as children grow up, it's a natural thing to separate from one's family of origin and strike out on one's own.  Conflict and anger at this stage is a normal way adolescents manage the separation and create distance.  It would otherwise feel very painful. That is likely the developmental stage your sister is at now and so her conflicts are not likely quite as much about you as you're thinking.  She may say deeply hurtful things to you, but deep down inside she loves you more than either of you know right now.  She seems to be trying very hard to jump out of the family nest, but to her, you keep trying to pull her back in.

Give her space.  Wait for her to come back to you.  You really do need to turn your attention to your own interests and friends right now.  Your sister will eventually come around, but it may take a while.  Have patience.

If this is causing you a lot of grief, don't be afraid to seek out some counseling for yourself.  It will be helpful.
