[quote=Anonymous][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] So sorry about this PP. This is definitely the most passive aggressive "gift giving" (in quotes as the nonexistant gift cards weren't actually even gifts) on this thread. And as you say clearly symptomatic of a bigger problem on your sister's part. [/quote]
