Parents divorced after I left home at 19 to marry leaving my sister at 13 to go from there and have our parents divorce after 20 years of marriage at which she claims destroyed her life from that point on and reason for her mistakes from that point on...she was 18 and she is now 53....still lays blame.
C. Raised shelterd and afraid to disappoint my mother and father all my life, so I was a Miss Good Two Shoes.....went from my home to making my own home at 19 until 50 at which I divorced after 35+ years, growing apart and finally solidifiying the fact that my own sister slept with my husband some 20+ years prior and knowing this, just turning a blinds eye.....

F. Having Depression, either Fibro or Lupus, or something to live with each and every day.....
Problem: My sister and I are like Oil and Water, or have become so. She had surgery 4 years ago now for her back and since then, her demise......Do to her latest decision, we were not talking. Her choice. She, prior to the surgery had renigged on a loan that my mother had co-signed for her and was upest and mad at my mother and I (being I agreed that Mom had done the right thing) and wasn't talking. My mother had decided when the bank was harrassing her about the unpaid car loan that she would have to go to my sister's to bring the car back (take it from her) and to try to sell it and pay off the bank for which she did. My sister then chose that particular time to decide that wasn't what a mother should do and went silent. After this even and while we all were not talking, my sister also did yet another unthinkable thing......she stole my mothers identity and racked up 11,000.00 on a credit card. All this came to light sometime after the car incident and her surgery. After all this......I being who I am....made the attempt in reaching my sister via e-mail. She responded and we then struck up a relationship and she even came to the notion of visiting us in Texas. She lives in Idaho and this would be the first time of seeing each other for quite some time.....maybe 7 years or so, since her son's graduation. She came to visit at the end of April and stayed a couple weeks, during this time, she apologized to my mother, she assured everyone that she had changed and all was well. She left and went home and all was as well as it is with my sister and I....we continued to email and stay up with our new developed relationship and her son became her problem. She had a confrontation with him at a Christmas visit with his future bride with him and from that point on, they have continued to decline to the point of her not even being invited to her only childs wedding.
We have since been growing apart once again and it has all started with her son and his decisions in life that involve her. I will let this sink in and marinate before I go on and really to see if anyone would want to help me or be of any interest in helping me through this. I am coming to a point of this all affecting my health as I do not know how to cope with all that is dealt me. Being the oldest sibling, both my parents and my sister have ALWAYS made me the go between in every incident that involves family. Here I am once more in that position. PLEASE , SOME HELP ME by taking an interest and listening adn helping me come to some answers on how to either resolve it or live with it and/or the concequences.....PLEASE.
