My skin crawl, I feel bad and want to have a good relationship with her. Do you think it might be I avoid her because she was extremely abusive physically and mentally to me? I am also diagnosed with ps, anxiety depression ptsd, adhd does anyone else feel this way. And seeing her is I don't have much of a choice because I live w mom and dad and my parents watch her daughter. After spending time with her I feel drained empty and used. I hate feeling this way but I do any advice?

Yes it probably is very much related to the fact that she was extremely abusive.

How does she treat you now?

She treats me like she is superior I guess. It's hard to have a meaningful and healthy relationship with someone when your not on the same level. I feel like the only time she contacts me is when she needs me to do something for her, which usually if I do I feel burnt out and used. So I just avoid her.

So I went out today with my mom and she invites my sister, at first I was mad, but then I decided I will take this opportunity to use my DBT skills, instead of ignoring her I decided to try to create positive emotions by conversation and keep healthy boundaries. It actually turned out better expected and I no longer have those feeling towards her, and what a relief because we are going on a family vacation at the end of the month and having a good relationship will be much more pleasant then having unnecessary tension. Thanks for listening

Yes for sure because the trauma you lived with her its still in your subconstient mind and subconstient wants to protect you ,thats way you feel bad when you are with her .In the past a girl hurt me a lot and after that i was not able to atrct girls in my life ,the problem was that subconstient was protect me from that.

I feel like I am that sister, I want my sister to talk to me. I don't know what I did. I get her stuff pay back for the things my small child.has broken.

I'm glad you talked to her. I try to make small talk, but I get ignored. I just want to say I'm proud of you even tho I don't know you I can relate
