Do you think it is mean of me for thinking this?

I went to two stores this afternoon, the last one was a Walmart to get some yogurt, came out and drove off and saw my sister walking towards Walmart...kept going but I wanted to roll the window down and yell “Hot enough for you??” As I drove off. But I didn’t... I gave her rides for a year and a half, anywhere she wanted to go in this city. I gave her things and did other stuff for her. She ended up turning on me for not taking her to a casino to gamble and she gaslighted me badly.

After my separation, I did a lot of reading about controlling relationships and it made sense to me. One of the insights is that people who like to please others are open to being controlled. The line is when the recipient of the good deeds goes from being pleased to expecting them. Then the complain etc. when they don't receive them. I think it would be realistic of you to see that she is a controlling, toxic person and you need to be careful of your boundaries with this person.

@MrRobinson No I don’t like to be controlled. She has problems, I felt bad for not going around her for 25 years and her ex’s mom told me she thought she was doing a lot better with some new medication. So I thought I’d forgive and give her another chance. My bad judgement. The only thing that changed was that she learned to be even slicker and more manipulative.

@SW-User She had a vendetta against a downstairs neighbor at the apartment where she lived. She complained because him or his roommate put a bag of trash outside their door, a small bag. Probably waited till they got in the car to drive down to the dumpster a block away. Always complained on them, that neighbor was a young friendly guy and he worked in maintenance at the apartments. She started telling me she smelled marijuana coming from their apartment (could have been the roommate or someone around there).. One day I went over and she was grinning and told me that they both got kicked out and he lost his job. I looked at her and asked her why and she say “oh I don’t know why”... I know why, she tattled on them. And this after she told me she used to smoke it after she got divorced and was hanging around with some new friends but she stopped. What a hypocrite.

@cherokeepatti she sounds awful and it sounds like you're better off without her

@SW-User I don’t miss her. I feel sorry in a way but not sorry enough to be a target of her venom. Someone told me later that it was dangerous for me to be around her. She caused legal problems with a false accusation 30 years ago and that’s when I started staying away from her back then, not answering my door to her or answering her calls etc.
This is a tricky one, Sometimes family or friends become to comfortable and they think you simply owe them favours. But you don't owe anybody anything! I would wait for her to apologize to me because these I'm zero percent tolerant.

@RadiantRuby Oh no she’ll never apologize for anything. Too much ego for that. She always has excuses for her mean-assed things that she does to people. She projects her own crap onto others making it look like she’s so innocent and everyone else isn’t.
@cherokeepatti In the past 8 years I cut off so many toxic family members and I'm all the better for it. For example my brother which I'm even sorry to call him that, my mother tried to get me to talk to him and I refused! Enjoy life my friend health is important those type of people seem to cause confusion and sorrow, sister or not. Your strong to not allow her to project her behavior on you. I know people who tolerate someone simply because they are family!

@RadiantRuby Another sister called me about 15 years ago and says “I’m tired of this fighting. We’re getting older, blah blah blah”. I told her “I’m not fighting with anyone. I choose to stay away and there will be no fighting or conflicts, it’s very peaceful that way and that’s how I like it.” She was trying to draw me back into the drama because she is just as bad but in a different way than the other one. And she was probably going through a dry period without a man in her life and wanted to use me to fill her void...

@ISpeakTheTruth She is worse than stupid. She is mean...she has caused legal problems for people and she also has had protective orders put on her about 25 years ago.

No, it's not mean of you at all. You're not her servant. She sounds like trouble. I'm sorry that you have someone like this in your own family.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@TeresaRudolph71 She lives about 2 miles away and I never go around her.

Wow..she should've have second thought at least be kindly
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@FreestyleArt She is narcissistic. She think she’s smarter and better than others but she always needed help or rides or whatever. When you help her I think in her mind I became her servant or something.
I think it was prudent of you to not say anything.
