I left room for imperfections. I did not expect perfect as I know people have flaws. Now with all I have learned I can better see red flags I missed. I try to remind myself that I did not have the information that is so much better identified and understood now.

That being said I honestly did not see just how dark and cruel my sister could be. Some people are good at hiding a very dark part of themselves.

One thing I noticed is how my sister tried to project her own deceptions onto me. It got to a point where I figured out what she did because she would blame me. And she baited constantly, and she would get so angry when I did not take the bait. It was so horrible when I went to my parents home. Thank god my older brother was there and heard her cruelty towards me from the basement.

As I have mentioned, my older brother had to go outside and ask the police officer to tell my sister to leave me alone. She was a real monster.

I listen very differently now.
