And do you still talk to them?

He shaved my cat and took photos, then sent the nude pics to everyone in my contacts list titled "see Baldie's tits".

Why do you ask?

Pinched my boyfriend and married him, but I got the last laugh as he turned out to be a loser who began to knock her about a bit. Karma.

Ha! Take that, bitchy sis! Do you still talk to her? And him, the bastard?

SallyWD · 04/12/2023 14:42

I honestly can't think of anything. My brothers are lovely.

Stole £40k worth of jewellery from mum's estate.

Jumped in front of a train. My dad who could never get over it hung himself

Years ago we both used to love the white coloured bubble gum balls and fought over them
She offered me a white and brown one once

Asked me to return a pair of shoes to a shop. Unbeknown to me she had stolen them. I was taken to the upstairs office and the Police were called, luckily i was a 15 year old Punk and the shoes in question were tan wedge sandals that were too small for me the Police believed me when i said my sister had asked me to return them. Yes i spoke to her afterwards but never forgave her.

That's just awful, @Lourdes12 . Not to minimise your pain, but you have to look at the intent behind the action. Your sibling was in a desperate place and not thinking straight. They were not intending to cause your father's death. All they knew at the time was that they couldn't carry on living. That is a terrible place to be, and not a place where you do your best thinking.

@Sharontheodopolodous I'm so sorry that's absolutely horrible.

@Aposterhasnoname how horrible I hope you don't talk to her.

BucketofTeaMassiveCake · 04/12/2023 15:34

Oh yes Shewaswanton I still talk to her after a few ups and downs here and there which would take too long to mention. We live in a small town and our paths would cross. She knows she's isn't a nice person and has confessed as much. In some ways I feel sorry for her - it's my belief that if she has to behave badly in order to feel good about herself then she is to be pitied.

You start OP.

Are you going to share op?

heartbroken22 · 04/12/2023 23:36

I'm so sorry to everyone's that's dealt with abuse how horrible.

I've had sibling lie and say I stole money which was really hurtful as I was pregnant and felt ganged up on. Had same sibling convince parents that my PND meant that I needed to be sectioned after she saw Stacey on Eastenders. She still constantly boasts about things she's done better than me ... like get a degree grade higher than me...lies about other things in arguments to put me down... like I PAID for my own wedding (lie parents helped her out)...also tried to cause a wedge between me and other sibling by telling her something I had apparently said which was untrue. She's the sort that will be sweet to ur face but as soon as she gets home the bitching will start...she was also physically abusive even though she'd 3 years younger than me...parents never said anything to her...which makes me resent them...

The other sibling is manipulative but not so bad...

Told me I didn't deserve benefits after I left my violent and abusive ex and that I should be forced to sell my TV, kids toys etc to fund it.

I'd lost my cars, my businesses, my house, everything.

He also called me a liar when I said our step dad abused me.

Sigh.

It's been 12 years and I've just reached out to him. I hope I'm doing the right thing.

flowerchild2000 · 05/12/2023 00:48

My sister lied about me and the fact our father abused us, in court. She refused to swear in, just stood up and testified. The judge took it under consideration too. Never spoke to her again and honestly hadn't spoken to her for years before that happened for the same kind of reasons. It was especially hurtful because I was the only one there for her when she went through a major breakdown while we were teens, over said abuse!! She went on to abuse her husband and children. Haven't spoken to anyone I'm related to in many years.

WhatToDoAboutTheNosys · 05/12/2023 01:40

She wasn't happy for me at all when I got pregnant, the contrast could be seen in very clear excitement for our other sister who was pregnant at the same time.

She is doing up a big run down joie, encountered so many issues but said I have "stupid money house with too many problems" when I had.to.redo guttering on my lovely new build.

She is very close to our dad (her step dad), he virtually lives with her, but she's done nothing to try to get him to be closer to my and my son/his grandson. He doesn't know my birthday and the other day I found out he had no idea whaty middle name is.

I still talk to her on group family Whatsapp and when we all get together for the sake of my mum and other sister. I want my son to see her kids because they're cousins, but I'll never be ok with her again since she wasn't happy for my pregnancy.

ChanelNo19EDT · 05/12/2023 09:10

Awful stories of betrayal. People are so shit. It's like, Unless you collude with my false reality (that I didn't steal from you/that our father didn't abuse you/that I am better than you) then you are bad, mad, sad. All the classics. Mad bad sad I think it is.

TurtleCavalryIsSeriousShit · 05/12/2023 09:43

Invited my 16-year-old son for Christmas. She knew him well and had a great relationship with him. We flew him out there and on the first night there, her husband kicked him out of his house for the following crimes:

His ears were pierced.
His hair wasn't short enough.

That's it.

Apparently, he didn't want that kind of influence on his children.

His hair was pretty short, but a bit floppy on top. BIL wanted a buzz cut.

We found somewhere else for my son to stay for a few days (they live in a holiday town on the coast) but he flew home early. One ruined holiday for a kid who was so excited about going on holiday on his own for the very first time.

My sister just said that she had to stand by her husband. This happened 2 years ago and no, we don't speak anymore.

RudsyFarmer · 05/12/2023 09:46

Just hated me from the start and at no point in our relationship had my back. Only ever wanted the worse for me. Happily watched me getting beaten up by my bully as a kid. Just loads of loads of death by a million small cuts. Haven’t talked for years and years and years and couldn’t be happier about if.

AmazingDayz · 05/12/2023 09:51

Made a malicious report about me to social services, lied about it and blamed others, whole family has fallen out and no I don’t speak to them anymore this was 3 years ago that I found out it was them but happened a bit before that as took a while for it to come out who it was.

PsychoHotSauce · 05/12/2023 09:51

Sister - Spread lies about my DM, stole money, randomly disappears for years and pops up again for a day, nice as pie bearing gifts, then vanishes again. It really upsets DM because she doesn't know what she's done wrong. I have q bit of sympathy as I suspect she's PDA which wasn't a thing when we were kids, but it's still hurtful.

Brother - all money related. I lent him so much and he vanished off radar. Dm eventually made him pay me back. Also tricked me into giving him pocket money when I got my first job, saying he got none. He was getting it from DM already and basically doubled up.

Don't speak to either of them.

heartbroken22 · 05/12/2023 11:07

I remembers mine. She told me to have a termination if that's what I wanted because her life wasn't moving forward. She had no partner and wasn't meeting anyone whilst I was pregnant with third baby. I had had a termination a few months earlier due to a medical reason. She was happy then but when I got pregnant again she was so jealous it was like the ground was swallowing her up.

I was physically hurt as a teenager by my mother and stepfather (I'm no longer in contact with them, obviously). I had bruises on my arms, at one point, that I covered up.

My sister, who was never physically hurt, said she hoped I hadn't confided in my best friend about had happened as she was friends with their brother and that would be embarrassing for her. She couldn't have cared less about me. She was also odious, spiteful and lazy.

No, I'm no longer in contact with her.

Giggorata · 05/12/2023 17:42

Mine tied me up with a skipping rope and tried to feed me smashed up snails, chicken poo and mud.
Then she pretended to sleepwalk into my bedroom in the middle of the night and mumbled scary “psychic” messages.

(For those whose siblings were truly unpleasant, I am sorry)
