[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, change the locks TODAY. You cannot continue to allow your sister to trample all over your boundaries--and your physical space at that!

Don't pay to store her junk. She will find a way to get you to pay for storage forever. Do the trash day thing or take it to Goodwill.

Keep your boundaries of no contact. [b]She came back to get her stuff not because she wanted it but because she wanted your attention and the only way she knows how to get it is by being an asshole. She is unhealthy and you need to keep your distance.[/quote][/b]

OP here: I honestly never thought of that (the attention thing). It's killing me but you're all correct about this. I need to keep serious distance from her.

And I know I haven't really addressed my mom's behavior much but she and I already have plenty of distance. I rarely respond to her attempts at contact and haven't seen her in person in about a year, even though she lives right up there in Bethesda. But she and my sister are close. My dad and I get along but we're not close. He travels for work the majority of the time. I've always been the grownup in my family who is there for everyone. But this is definitely a turning point for me. Look what it's got me! A pile of garbage in my living room! They're literally dumping all over my life. [/quote]
