Madisgram, I really suck at taking just action for my own self. I'd rather move on than cause trouble or stand up for myself. This being the case I have a hard time telling you that I think that is exactly what you should do. I don't know that I could find the strength to do so myself but I am disgusted that your sister would do that. I have felt indebted to my sister when I've owed her $100 and it burned in my mind until I payed her back. That's how sisters--no, that's how decent individuals--should feel and act on. You can't change her hard heart and you may never completely stop feeling the pain of what she did but I think legal action is the right way to do what you still can with the situation. It would break my heart to do so if I were in your shoes but if someone could stand with me to make sure I followed through, I know I would thank them for it. You are not asking for anything out of greed--she's the greedy one. You are merely asking for what is yours in order to take better care of you, the kind of care you deserve just for being human. I know that many people here value you as much more than "just" human, though.
