I wonder (because I'm a bit prone to enabling myself) if it's not so much wanting to give her everything she wants as being afraid of the repercussions if NOT doing so. IOW, afraid to stand up to. Not judging, I've very much been there myself.
I have to admit I do rather look forward to her eventual comeuppance. 
I also worry how this effects YOU. Sending good vibes.
It's hard to believe you guys grew up in the same house!
Good luck with your car! |
Hey Blue! I have told you of some of the reality with my sister.
I have a very difficult sister, too. It's very hard on everyone. My mother does indulge her and it looks like simply enabling. It is, however, more complicated. My sister's wrath can be frightening, especially to an 80 y.o. mother. It's always been this way. People who stood up to her had hell to pay! She never forgets/forgives; she goes for the throat.
I am all for setting boundaries with her, etc. Yet, I am alone in this most of the time.
Much Love and Happiness!
