How do you do that though when the other person is the one escalating it? They don’t seem to care where they are and they know they’re poking the bear. My sister looks for any opportunity to push her agenda and tell me how messed up things are where I live, in spite of the fact that she left here over 15 years ago. Sorry, but I like it here. I’m happy to pay taxes for the nice things my state provides. . The only thing you can control is how you react to it. You’re not going to change her mind, nor is she likely to change yours, but if you want her in your life, you have to be respectful. You can expect the same, but know that you may not get it. |

Right, but if I’m not going to get the same respect back, then I refuse to engage. It’s a two way street. I’ve already disassociated with two of my siblings because I didn’t need what they brought to my life (namely chaos, disrespect and endless drama) so she knows I have my limits. If she keeps pushing the boundaries I will absolutely cut her out completely too. In a way, in my mind, she’s already so far gone that I’m really not missing out on much. |
