Confounded by my sister, cut and run? Kinda long, but please read?

Your absolutely right. I strongly suggest you do exactly as you stated "cut and run". Individuals that are toxic, slanderous, selfish, are the last kind of people you want to ociate with on a regular basis; regardless of who they are. This isn't about loving them, or wanting what is best for them. This is about surrounding yourself with up building, positive, encouraging individuals. It would be an interesting case study to try and yze why a person behaves the way your sister does (what happened to her????), but the bottom line is we are all responsible for what we do, and how we act; we are accountable for ourselves. Everything we do is a choice, and we can make BETTER ONES. So you try and be Healthy and limit your ociation with people (all people) the drag you down. You don't have to confront her or explain anything to her...just drift away. There is nothing to feel guilty about, because your not doing anything wrong, don't let her or anyone else try and put a guilt trip on you and manipulate you. ok
