Toxic Younger Sister

[High_Order1]

For what it's worth...

At your age, I hated my family. And my two younger brothers. Hated them all.

I'm almost fifty now. Hate is now a strong word to me. I call my Mom about every day, and I try to talk to my brothers about once a month, but they have families now, and so... time gets away from us, but we always have a decent time when we can get together.

I say this because at that age, I didn't think any old fart grownups could understand how I felt, and when they told me they did, it rang hollow. So, I won't insult you by perpetuating the cycle.

All I'll say, is, please don't make any permanent decisions to isolate yourself from your family. Every person there is on a journey of their own, and... who honestly knows what drives them to do (or, ignore) the things they do.

Consider talking to them as a group. If it goes badly... at least you made the effort, and looking back that can be more valuable than gold.

I feel for you, honestly I do.

jsd has some excellent advice about talking to a counselor, as well.
