Title: Guess who's terminating her relationship with her family? Post by: ropend on October 01, 2014, 12:52:29 AM That's right it's my sibling.
She lost her cell phone and has demanded my parents replace it even though she's almost 40 and lives over 200 miles away. This is her preferred method of communication (I doubt she'll ever contact them by e-mail) and she refuses to undertake the "labor" needed to get an "Obama phone". My parents aren't replacing her phone or going through the effort to get her an "Obama phone". In effect she's removing herself from our lives. I don't think I've ever experienced such joy and sadness at the same time. Any advice? Title: Re: Guess who's terminating her relationship with her family?

Not sure if it's diagnosed but I'm fairly sure it has been. Title: Re: Guess who's terminating her relationship with her family?

But if she loses that she'll be back looking for your attention. Probably with a good long sulk/silent treatment in between. Always with a sence of entitlement. Your sis must be important if your President is willing to give her his phone lol.

Ps loved your joke :) Title: Re: Guess who's terminating her relationship with her family?

Enjoy the break. Mind you, it's good your parents have set a reasonable boundary. They do say you should never do anything for a BPD they can't do themselves. So I'm guessing your sis knows how to apply for an Obama phone, if needs be.

She bought herself a phone and got someone she knows to add her to their friends and family plan. I'm guessing in two months her find will boot her from the plan. Thanks for the praise Chappy my parents need to hear that from someone outside the family. |iiii |
