I come from a culture where the family pecking order is set in stone. Both parents are younger siblings as I am too.
My older sister and I fell out a few years ago after I finally said “no” to yet another unreasonable request. This time it was about a job we were both interested in and she ordered me to step aside and not apply because she said that the company would feel like it was too much trouble choosing between sisters. Well I did apply and neither of us got it, and she has blamed me ever since.
She has managed to get pretty much all of the family on her side and against me. Only our parents sympathise with me but they are powerless in the family as elders agree with my sister and have effectively disowned me.
I recently discovered I haven’t been invited to a family member’s birthday party and I was really upset. It’s really shit and I know that it’s cruel and unkind behaviour on their part but they are still my family and I feel so rejected.
