  • My Little Sister

    I've been living with my grandmother over the summer.
    During this time, I had to get two root canals. My grandmother paid for it for me, because, while I could receive free native american care, I would have to wait well over a month for it to be taken care of.

    Considering I couldn't eat due to the pain chewing soft bread, waiting that long was not an option, and I was was under the (false, as I've now learned) impression that going to the native americans as a walk in would still have a fair amount of cost.

    So, I let my grandmother pay for my teeth. Not proud of it, but it needed to be done.

    I tried looking for a job, but the few places that even called me back never called me again after they learned I was going back to school in the fall.

    Now. Regularly, my sister has been throwing in my face all of the above.

    Telling me what a leach I am

    Telling me I'm taking advantage of my grandmothers sweet demeanor (When my sister has lived here since she was 16, and has never paid rent in that time...)

    Telling me I'm lazy

    Asking me how I'll pay back my student loans wen I can't get a quicktrip job now (She really doesn't seem to understand the concept of "pay now for better job later...")

    And just. Going. On. And. Fucking. On. Mean. Spiteful. Thing. After. Thing.

    Feeding the insidious little voice that already tells me all this shit, feeding my self doubt, my self hate, my depression.

    And I cant say shit back to her. I suck at fights. I suck at debates face to face. I get worked up and can't articulate myself. All I want to do is smash her gods damned face in, but I don't. I hold it in.

    I want to hurt her so damn badly. I fucking fantasize about strangling her, or getting even more violent.

    She just finished one of her little...rant sessions, the third or fourth, even bringing our mother into it (LONG story), and I spent the last ten minutes just imagining beating her to a pulp.

    I really REALLY don't like feeling like this. It disturbs me.

    I just wanted to vent.

    Your sister is a toxic cancer to your wellbeing. It is perfectly natural that you would want to remove such a thing from your space.

    The fact that you don't do so proves that you're a decent human being.

    The fact that she keeps doing this also proves that she knows that she's a shitty example of humanity and the only way she can keep herself going is by making you out to be somehow less.

    Take comfort (as that's all you can for the moment) in the fact that you are working towards being more than she can ever hope to be and once you've reached that goal, you can aim for a higher one. One that will carry you out of her orbit entirely.
    Faith is about what you do. It's about aspiring to be better and nobler and kinder than you are. It's about making sacrifices for the good of others. - Dresden

      Can you walk away -- or better yet go somewhere, like to your room, and lock her out -- when she gets started?

      Sorry you have to put up with this, especially since you haven't been feeling well. My sister might think similar thoughts of me, but at least she doesn't say them (and if she does, well, she lives on the other side of the continent, so I don't have to listen ....)

        I don't have a room. Just couch surfing for the summer, unfortunately.

        My grandmothers awesome for letting me stay here and feeding me, but she can't make a new room appear. *shrugs* And theres not much to walk to. Heh.

        Thank you.

          Wow, I want to smack your sister just reading this. It's bad enough having that voice in your head telling you you're worthless, but other people feed into that... that's just low.

            My sister is the same fucking way, I just wanna push her in front of a bus sometimes too. The downside is she uses my niece like a tool, basically " be nice to me or else I'll move away and you'll never be allowed to see her again".

                On todays episode of "Bitch Theatre":

                The sister arrives home carrying a familiar bow.

                The brother, played by myself, asks where she got it, since it looks familiar.

                She informs the brother that their father sold it to her.

                The brother confirms which bow it is--it is, indeed, the bow which his father gave to him when he was 14. Indeed, the very bow he learned the basics of archery with, which he was forced to leave in the old home, due to his current housing situation.

                The sisters tone turns mildly hostile.

                The brother says "It wasn't his to sell." clarifying that he doesn't intend on taking it back, since she did pay for it.

                The sister says, as though this excuses it, "You left it there, along with all your books", in an incredibly bitchy tone of voice. As though the brother were leaving it there in a trash heap.

                The brother just sighs, and reiterates his previous words.

                The sister walks off, saying, "If you want it, buy it from me. Oh wait, you already owe me money." Still in the bitchy tone of voice.


                The brother simply goes back to watching Castle, a formerly decent day soured.


                BONUS EPISoDE: This is actually a recycled plot! Indeed, the brother had once before gifted father, for his birthday, with a wooden mug with a triquatra pattern on it, from the local renfaire.

                Later, he found that his father had given it to his sister.

                The brother, of course, realizes that since it is his fathers, it's his to give away.

                But that doesn't make him feel any less shitty with either situation. Especially as the bow was NOT, in fact, his fathers to sell.

                Ah, the joys of a completely lack of respect for sentimental value.

                Thus ends this weeks episode of "Bitch Theatre".

                  Seeing as how it's only Tuesday, I strongly suspect that this isn't the end of this week's drama.

                  But, at least you've got Castle.

                    For about three more episodes. Then I pick a new show to marathon.

                      I recommend Grimm, if you haven't seen it yet.

                        I've been recommending Grimm (including to him) since about the 5th episode. Surprisingly good.

                          Grimm's definately on the list. Might hit it, then Supernatural, or break things up with Adventure Time
