my only sibling has emotionally abused me for as long as I can remember

[bcbutterfly2]

and it has gotten worse in the last several years. She hasn't been officially diagnosed with BPD, but I suspect that this is what she's afflicted with.

I've had to break from contact with her in order to take care of myself. I'm going through a very difficult time with a parent who has dementia, and am the sole family member dealing with it directly.

I'm reaching out in an attempt to gain support.

 How was she abusing you emotionally and what precipitated the no contact?

Hi bcbutterfly2

Being emotionally abused is very unpleasant. I am sorry you have experienced this. In what ways is she emotionally abusive?

You have quite a lot on your plate right now. Caring for a parent with dementia is already quite challenging enough.

Why do you think your sister's behavior has gotten worse these last few years? Does this negative change in her behavior perhaps coincide with your parent's dementia?

Hi Bcbutterfly2,

I had the same, in that if your sibling is BPD they get very jealous and competitive, and if you're their only sibling, then you are going to be their main target. Giving yourself a break sounds like a good idea, how is that working out ? What has been the most hurtful behaviour you had to endure ?

Hello,

Thanks for reading and responding.
I don't even know where to begin. I'll have to write later, as I got home from work just a while ago, and I need to eat dinner as it's already 9pm.
