Ever since childhood, my sister, who is 2 1/2 years older than me, has been bossy, condescending, always saying I am wrong, and the other person is right, irregardless of the truth. She is one of the most ungrateful people I know toward me, but nice to other people. I do SO MUCH to help her, but she NEVER says thank you. I even help her financially if she needs it, but stilll no thank you. We are not kids anymore, she is 57 and I am 54. I was a well-respected school teacher, and am very financial secure compared to her. I know she resents my retirement with a full pension. But why has she been this way for her ENTIRE life? Does she have some deeply rooted psychological problem, or am I the problem? I try my best to treat her with love and respect, but it's getting hard to do so. She keeps telling me that I'm the problem, not her. What is going on? Will she ever stop acting like a 15 year old brat? Any suggestions on what I should/could do? Why do you think she acts this way?
