Please help, I am looking for some advice on how to deal with my sister who is always very competitive and feels the need to always compare our children.
I recently feel that it has got to the point where relationships are strained.
I was a young mum and I feel that she expected me to fail. I feel she finds it hard to see that I have managed to get my degree, work and stay with my children's father. She has a very volatile relationship with her husband and choosing not to go back to work they struggle finically. She always feels the need to compare how much money I have compared to her and seems to like the sympathy vote. She always finds ways to put me down and compare what her children are doing developmentally compared to mine. It has got so bad recently I try to avoid family gatherings if she is going to be around, as I worry I am just going to explode one day.
Sorry for the long post I just felt like I needed to get it if my chest.
