Help Cheer Up a Middle Child

I’ve had a horrible day due to a sibling, one that really gets under my skin.
She bullied me from a young age until I was physically stronger than her and finally smacked the sh*t out of her.

She has always been a vindictive jerk that had jealousy issues, but now has done something so despicable, that I question how I can even be related to this person. I’ve been able to ignore her for many years, but this takes the cake.

I’ve been steaming all day and need a good laugh, so c’mon ATS, what do you have. A good meme, a funny joke?
A sibling worse than mine that you have a story for? C’mon have at it.

Just content yourself in the knowledge that as bad as she makes you feel, her life is probably worse. If you wanted to, you could cut her out of your life, but she has to live with herself. She probably deserves your pity more than your scorn.

Both my sister and brother were really good people. We all were mellow and disliked arguing unless pushed to excess which hardly ever happened. neither my brother or I liked to fight unless we had too, we would try to talk our way out of fights...but if we had no choice, we never lost and the person was taken down within a minute.

I had some big friends, they knew I did not like to fight but they did and one guy Marv, he would tell people picking on me that I did not like to fight but he did....they backed off quickly, he was a construction worker that weighed over three hundred pounds and was all muscle.. Sach was bouncing big john on his shoulders at a party, big john weighed over three hundred pounds too. They were nice guys, not really smart, but I liked them.

No problems with my siblings, in fact, I get along with almost all of my relatives....life is too short to be arguing with others.

I want a peaceful life devoid of drama. My brother and I are like twins, never fight and get along perfectly.
My sister had issues with my parents which bled over into her relationship with my brother and myself even though it has very little to do with us. She was estranged from the family for decades, and would change her number so we couldn’t even call. Then accused us of not treating her like family, and also telling lies that everyone laughed at they were so ludicrous.

Here is an interesting article that can be sort of applied to this thread. Remember, loving your siblings and kids does release the love hormone.

Thinking about this and knowing people who have had alzheimer disease, there may be something to what this article says.

She has a miserable life, but I wonder if it is because she is a miserable person. I think about when we were little kids and the horrible things she would do.
She has been given every advantage in life and has squandered it, with nobody to blame but herself I feel like she wants to blame the world.


BTW there was no helping her, when we tried to help her with money it was “looking down at her” when we didn’t then we were not acting like family. There was no winning.

Do you mind if I ask what the age gap is between you all? I have a friend who is the youngest of 3 brothers, I also knew the middle brother.
There was about 2 years between each of them, and my god did they fight till they were way into there late 20's. Now they're alot older, if you saw them, you wouldn't believe they used to beat each other black and blue. They do loads of things together and really look out for each other.

8 years older than brother, 3 years younger than sister

I had a grandmother like that. It was exhausting! My poor mother was always trying to be the dutiful daughter! Mom’s sister moved halfway across the country, so that she didn’t have to deal with her! And leaving poor Mom to look out for her.

We have five grown kids. Little stinkers growing up. Nothing bad, just mischievous. But all thankfully, turned out to be special human beings. Our middle child, a boy, has the biggest heart! When they were little, his siblings told him that he was adopted. I don’t remember how it even started anymore. They all look like exactly alike, so there should have been no question.

He was so crushed! I told him that it wasn’t true. The other kids said, of course Mom would tell you that! Aaagh!
I sat them all down & got out their birth certificates. They all had embossed seals on them. Except HIS! That one had an embossed gold starburst sticker! The kids said, see! That means that you were adopted! Aaagh!
They still bring it up every so often! Lol!

WOQ

Keep in mind it is all relative.

That is so weird, my family told me that too growing up as a joke. My brother and sister look very similar and more like my mom, I'm the odd one out. I have weird curly hair and white skin, they were both very tan and stick straight hair.
I almost believed it until one day I saw a photo of my maternal grandmother when she was young and it could have been a photo of me, we looked exactly alike! The weird thing is I got my curly hair from my grandmother! Her hair even had the same curl pattern, it is not very common for Asians.
