Well this is it really. I spent the first 25 years of my life thinking it was me that was the problem and having such huge self esteem issues because my sister was always putting me down - she told me I was lazy and not clever. Her views were endorsed by my parents who find her really funny. I have always said abuse is a big word but I realise it is definitely close. The thing that made me realise it was today - DH came away from Christmas dinner saying she is a narcissist and he definitely wouldn't say it lightly. I just feel that at last someone has seen her in her entirety. I think I just really needed to get this out. She has been such a negative influence in my life.
