Thank you Copa, I do not know of others experience in depth with this.
I know of sibling rivalry, but it seems this was taken to another level.
So, it is good to get it out here.
My brother and sister have been very upset with her and her actions with my late fathers illness. She was very insistent he move to an inner city hospital, which caused my mother and brother to travel a long distance to visit. She asserts this saved my father, my brother does not think so.
It is her dominating and insistence that things go her way that is her undoing. She seems to have a different perception of things, feels that she is right in this, I mean RIGHT. She has a strong sense of self, and seeming empathy, but put to the test, when things do not go as she would like them, is quickly angered and overpowering.
Yes, I have witnessed this with her.
A sense of entitlement.
Rage for some offense or slight
Strong need for control, to dominate
Self-absorption
Manipulation.
Plotting.
self-congratulation.
My little sister says her hubs said he has never met a more selfish person.
Yet, she can be likable. She has endearing qualities, and strikes up easy conversations. She can be fun to be with.
This is what makes it all so difficult.
So I will not completely cut her off.
I will be way more cautious of my conversations, and my heart.
That is certain.
