My Sister Again!

Still staying with sister. I just started a new job yesterday and I will be moving out as soon as I am financially able to do so. I love my sister, but not her behavior.

A few weeks ago she was going through her garage where my boxes are. All my boxes were sealed with packing tape. I leave the house and some of my boxes were unsealed up to and including my old journals. She later told me she was putting things away (yeah, right, in my boxes).

I asked her to move some stuff that didn't belong to me out of the room I am staying in. She waits until I am not there and she packs up the stuff (including some of my things). I ask for them back and she gave some of it back, but not all of it. This includes the data stick I had one or 2 pages of my journal and my resume on. Thank the lord I found the thing.

It's like no space is private. This data stick was INSIDE my briefcase and she would have had to gone through my stuff to find it.

Is this a sign of a mentally unbalanced woman or what? I have been respectful of them and their rules, but it's like I don't have a right to privacy around here. I mean, it is their house and all, but to go through my stuff.

I'm good at hiding things but I think from now on, I will have to use those hiding places for stuff that really needs to be kept private.

When I first moved here, I was told my a family member that doesn't live with them and is VERY honest, not to talk on the house phone when they are home if I can help it as someone will pick up the other extension.

All this covert stuff is driving me nuts.

Feedback anyone?

Wow, her behaviour would drive me crazy! I'm sorry you have to deal with her right now. Is she the type of person who would respond well to a frank and open discussion about what she's doing? If so, then maybe a talk would be good. If not, maybe you'll just have to hang in there until you can move out. I hope that you can move out as soon as possible!

Hello, NuckingFutz. Hope you are able to get you own place soon.

How should I phrase this...?

The "norms" of the household where you are currently living do not quite conform to the norms of wider society. A person with a chronic mood disorder such as yourself may find prolonged residence in such an environment less-than-conducive to both her short- and long-term stability.

May a therapeutic distancing be in your immediate future, NF.

I sure hope so. Just to be sure I put a dialog box on the first page of my journal and erased the rest of my journal.

The dialog box states that proceeding to the next page will automatically upload a trojan horse virus which will slowly shutdown the network and put the stupid thing back where I found it.

I just can't wait to get out of here, if only I could remain civil with my sister... my t says my sister has munchausens syndrom from what I describe as she, I believe has learned to invoke a seisure at will.

She is going to a nice rich t, but I think he's clueless or doesn't really care to find out about this munchausens... he really believes she has all these seisures and migranes and needs lots of pain meds. I think she's faking for attention.

Hope she gets a kick out of the virus message I left on my USB mass storage device...sometimes she needs to get what she deserves.
