I hate when people use others' misfortunes to gain attention and sympathy. It's annoying.
But, now that I think of it... maybe your mom has been the problem all along, not your sister? I mean, yeah... your sister copies you and stuff, but she does it because she knows your mom will yell at you if you don't let her do it. I bet she would stop copying you if she knew your mom wouldn't do anything about it.
Maybe you need to somehow have a discussion with your mom. I'm not sure what you need to say, but I think something needs to be done about your mom.

I've actually tried talking to my mom. It was a disaster. All our lives I've been considered the 'strong one' and my sister has always been the 'victim' every time something bad happens to her and has just in general needed more coddling.
Sometimes I can start to get my mom to see that the majority of the time my sister is just being an attention wh*re (perfect description btw) but then a few weeks later its like we never even had that conversation. I know my mom is in a tough place but it feels like she thinks I'm just trying to tear my sister down when I'm just trying to get her to see some truths about her.
The best example I have is when my sister got divorced she got caught cheating on her husband. Instead of just owning up to what she did she accused her ex of physically and emotionally abusing her and physically and sexually abusing her children. None of which was true. To this day my mom still believes her even though she saw proof of the cheating. My sisters ex sent me all of the emails and inappropriate photos he found on my sisters computer and I shared them with my mom because I didn't want to testify in court during her custody hearing. It still blows my mind she still believes her.
I have a really good relationship with my mom except for this thing with my sister so that makes things even harder.
