I took the survey offered on this site about emotional abuse and answered positive to all the questions. The thing is that the person is my sister. How do I know if she is abusive or just being a sibling?

Or...is she is an abusive sibling?! There is always some sibling dynamics that can explain some behaviors.
But if it is hurtful, demeaning, degrading...meh, it's abusive. I know a lot about this. Too much probably. I have had to deal with just plain meanness a lot and that isn't fun. I can tell you one thing that has helped me more than anything. I Don't Engage. Whatever you say can be used as a weapon later, so don't arm anyone with anything. Change the subject or excuse yourself. You do not have to be anyone's punching bag. Ever. Best to you, ![]()

Shezbut? Your take on it? I think you wrote about sibling abuse on the survivors of abuse forum. If I remember correctly, the point was that sibling abuse is especially pernicious andd even worse than other forms of abuse.
