I made my life within five miles of my parents. I worked, married, had children, retired, and am still married to the same man 40 years later. My only sibling moved 1000 miles away.. She married, divorced, no kids.
When our father was sick with cancer, I called my sister every few days to let her know what was happening. I suggested that she take a leave from her work and come spend time with Daddy. She declined by saying "I like my life." I helped care for Daddy until he died in 2003. My sister came for the funeral then left town.
Our mother fell ill in 2012. I kept my sister apprised of everything going on through Mother's illness and death. My sister did not come for the funeral and when I called her on the night of Mother's funeral to share how it went and who was there, my sister answered her phone "What are you doing calling me?"
I found out that my sister died of cancer in 2021. The last time I spoke to her was the night of our mother's funeral. My sister had been dead to me for years.

That’s a sad story. Your sister was in a hell of her own making. Unfortunately, it’s very common.
For those who wondered if these traits are signs of narcissism, the best short answer is yes.
The delineation of the personality disorders into subcategories is really just a clinical tool. I like that they started using the term “Cluster B”.
Maladaptive traits in interpersonal relationships is at an all time high. Self obsession, selfishness, resentment, fragility, lack of coping skills, and lack of adaptability are everywhere.
It’s a spiritual battle for the souls of our lived ones, and so many have succumbed to the darkness.

Break contact. Stop supporting in any way.
Unless you want to keep voluntarily dealing with bullshite.

I have someone in my life like this currently. Very much victim mentality. Everything, and I mean everything, is someone else fault. And I have heard countless times this person talk for hours and twist the story into their own lies to fit their narrative so they are the victim.
I'm like, that's funny because 15 minutes ago the story was different. Its insane to listen to it unfold.
I've been calling it out, but if they don't knock it off, I'm out. I don't have time for this shite with acquaintances, friends, or family. I don't care who you are.

I’m sure this has been said. But you ain’t changing them, so you might as well cut them out of your life.

It is a spiritual battle for our loved ones souls. Very well put. Stories like these seem more prevalent.
I am terrified any of my kids could succumb to the nature of some in my family in terms of selfishness, greed, manipulation and lies. Hers hoping nurture wins out.

Cut off the money, if you can.
They'll change quickly

You don't.
Wait until they qualify for some type of disability. They will cut most family off with quickness when they no longer need anything.

I don't. I've better things to do with my time left on this earth than to be dragged down by that sort of person.

Silent treatment destroys all. Just cut them out. Don't talk to them.
Posted on 4/1/25 at 1:19 pm to Harry Rex Vonner
The best thing to do is just to cut them out of your life. Misery loves company and anyone that miserable will only bring problems.

I have two, haven’t spoken to or associated with them in 21 uears

One thing we all need to consider is that we are being punished for our sins…….by our own minds.
