I do not like my sister
The story
I have a twinsister and I really do not like her as a person. I will paint a situation of 5 years ago: she has a partner and 2 little girls. She is having an affair with a man that is also a friend. That man has a wife and a small child and they just had a baby. Both couples live in the same street. And the 2 couples are friends. I know people cheat. But the cheating went on while the wife of the man, she was cheating on, was pregnant and in labour. The idea the woman finds out her man is sleeping with my sister makes me feel so sad. You are full of hormones etc. Cheating is wrong. But I never imagined my sister has no respect for even a pregnant woman. She also visits this woman to see the baby and at night she is meeting her husband. This happend 5 years ago. Situation 5 years later: She now lives alone with her two children in a villa. My brother bought that house for her. He is making good money. The rest of my family have normal jobs btw. I am not from a rich family. She and her partner ended the relationship. My sister lives in a villa that is worth almost a millions euro's. Buying a house for your sister is insane. But a normal family house was not good enough? It is so insane. My brother and sister both live in another reality. I work with children and have a nice life. My sister also has a normal job. But because she was with a millionaire and because my rich brother bought a house for her. She also moves in the same 'rich people' circles. I find it really hard to relate to her at all. I do like her 2 children. They are reason I still see my twinsister. For the children.
Years ago I fainted and fell from a stairs during a social gathering. I woke up with people around me and the first thing I hear is my sister yelling at me: you have ruined my night! you did it on purpose! A complete insane reaction. I passed out and fell from the stairs to hurt my sister? From that moment on I started feeling unsafe around her. I was always walking on eggs because I was afraid of her. When I went to another country for 3 months to study. She started screaming at me the last minute before I had to leave for the gate at the airport. I do not even remember what she said anymore. I was young and very nervous. And at the most vulnerable moment she unleashed this rage against me. I was trembling in the gate. She is also always is screaming at staff in restaurants and hotels. if someone makes a human mistake, she will start screaming. She can not handle her emotions and needs to control everything. The thing is; if you meet her she is very open and nice, funny and good to be around with. But around people who are close to her she is just mean. I am sick of her. I do not want to be around her. She can get very irritated if someone is saying the wrong word or is looking the wrong way. From the outside people think my sister is so great and working hard. Doing her best in life. They always think we have this special bond because we are twins. She has not visited my house in 10 years. I live 80 miles away from her. I always went to her house. But the last years I stopped going to her house. Part because of the one way street. But mostly because of her nasty soul. She is very good at manipulating sitautions and playing the victim. I just can not handle her anymore. I just feel worthless when I am with her. I feel very small. She makes me insecure and nervous.
I wrote about a few situations. I could write a book. I just needed to release this anger and frustration. I am also not english speaking. Thank you for the chance of writing this this "letter".

I feel sorry for you. No one has the right to make you are not worthy. Go your own way. She is not worth the pain. You are a better human.
are you replying to yourself? 😯 not sure to follow here
wow, it sounds like you're really going through a lot with your sister. it's rough when someone close to you acts like they’re one person in public but completely different behind closed doors. kinda feels like a constant emotional whiplash, huh? i can totally understand why you’d distance yourself from her after everything that's happened. must be exhausting dealing with that kind of drama and manipulation, especially when you've got your own life to focus on. honestly, props to you for still sticking around for her kids, that shows a lot about your character. sometimes setting boundaries is the best way to protect yourself and keep your sanity intact.
wow, that's a tough situation to be in. family dynamics can get so complicated, especially with someone who seems to have such a different moral compass. i totally get why you'd feel like you're walking on eggshells around her. it's incredible how some people can put up a front of being charming and nice but are the opposite behind closed doors. reminds me a bit of my cousin who always plays the victim card too; it's exhausting. i do think it's cool that you still have a connection with her kids though!!! they're lucky to have an aunt who cares about them. don't feel bad for stepping back from toxic relationships, even if they're family; sometimes protecting your own peace is what's most important!
it's pretty wild how she acts all charming and stuff in public, but flips the switch when it's just family. some people have this knack for putting on a show, right? honestly, her living it up with that villa and rich circles feels like she's on another planet. your brother sounds whipped for shelling out big bucks like that... can't imagine blowing that much cash just 'cause of blood ties! her issues are clearly deeper than what you're seeing; definitely not worth sacrificing your peace over. i think it's totally valid to keep your distance if she makes you feel like crap. don't let her toxicity drag you down too!
Man, that's so rough. It's crazy how someone can appear all charming and put together on the outside, but behind closed doors they're a whole different beast. Your sister sounds like a proper piece of work; I've seen people like that before... they think they're above everyone just because they hang around folks with money. Honestly, it's good you're distancing yourself for your own sanity. Focus on the things and people that make you feel good about yourself rather than tearing you down.
dang, that's one tough vibe to live with. sounds like your sister's living in her own reality and doesn't realize the impact of her actions on those around her. honestly, people who put on a mask in public but act differently with family have some deep stuff they're dealing with. it's pretty wild that you're still looking out for her kids and making sure they’re okay; you've got a massive heart for hanging in there despite all the chaos. maybe it’s really time to set stronger boundaries and focus more on you, no need to carry someone else’s baggage if it makes you feel worthless.
