Ah, siblings. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. As a kid, I loved having brothers when it came to playing games or celebrating holidays together, but riding in the car together, with the three of us crammed into the backseat, was like being in a war zone. We could enjoy peace for about 5 minutes of the ride, but inevitably, someone’s joking or playing around would cross a line and suddenly at least one of us was screaming or crying. Now, I was never a perfect sibling myself, as I vividly remember slamming my younger brother’s fingers in a door once out of rage. (I still feel bad about that one...) But we’re adults now! We’ve learned how to set our differences aside, and oddly enough, we actually love spending time with one another now.
Unfortunately, however, not all siblings mature at the same pace, and sometimes conflicts between brothers and sisters persist into adulthood. In fact, new conflicts can even arise, due to siblings acting extremely entitled. Below, we’ve gathered some of the most appalling screenshots of conversations between siblings that have been shared on the Choosing Beggars subreddit that might make you even more thankful for your own brothers and sisters. Try not to become too furious while scrolling through this list, and don't forget to upvote the conversations that would make you consider blocking a relative!

My Dad Is Going On 2 Months In The Hospital With Covid. This Is His Sister
The parable of the drowning man I feel like really matched religious viewpoints during the pandemic. I am religious myself, and I find it utterly sad and stupid that people are so ignorant. Also, weren't people expecting a war king in the bible instead of Jesus? Their savior was not what they expected. Hypocrites, the lot. (from Wikipedia: The parable of the drowning man, also known as Two Boats and a Helicopter, is a short story, often told as a joke, most often about a devoutly Christian man, frequently a minister, who refuses several rescue attempts in the face of approaching floodwaters, each time telling the would-be rescuers that God will save him. After turning down the last, he drowns in the flood. After his death, the man meets God and asks why he did not intervene. God responds that he sent all the would-be rescuers to the man's aid on the expectation he would accept the help.)
I'm Christian and I struggle to say that because of the antivax, anti-mask idiots that came crawling out of the woodwork during the pandemic.
Load More Replies...What? Gods all about plagues and killing off people, don't trust that fella
I am not religious, but for those who are, maybe your god gave you the medical and scientific staff to help you when new viruses come along.
I'm sure I've heard about a book with something about plagues, and God and whatnot.
Sure, that's why you need all those guns too, right, because of your faith in God?
I'm not religious. I've never read one sentence in the bible or any other religious book. I can say that some religious people are plain idiots like the example above, but some of them are cool. I only like the ones who don't make their religion their whole personality.
Serious question: What is this nutjob’s purpose/reason for self-censoring the word “virus” in her own post? Is it a “bad word” to her?
Because of FB policy regarding Covid 19 and vaccines. It has taken down many posts, pages and groups spreading misinformations. So if they want to beat FB's algorithm, they choose to self censor themselves or change a word like vaccine in vaxxine.

Sister Asks Me If I Can Watch Her Kid, Then Asks If I Can Come Get Her And Comes Up With Lame Excuse As To Why She Can't Drop Her Off
Optimistic scenario: Good parent doesn't risk driving kid without snow tires, goes to work on combination of walking and public transport/other person's picking up. Realistic: the usual assholery.
I mean maybe she just doesn't want to endanger her kid. She doesn't have snow tires and she doesn't want to risk her child getting hurt. It's understandable.
And why is she driving her child around without snow tires the other days of the week? Money's tight, I understand, but some things you can't scrimp on.
I’m sorry, but if someone’s doing you a favor they have the upper hand , whatever the scenario is
she doesn't want to risk driving with her kid, or any more driving than necessary
Remember seeing this before and the one with the kid then ask if she also could drive her to work while she picked up the kid…..
I Hadn't Been Able To Locate My Pokémon Cards For 15+ Years Which Had Over 10 Pages Of Rare/Holographic Cards (Which I Spent Many Years Collecting As A Kid)
I found out today that my older brother sold literally every single rare/holo/valuable card I owned as soon as I left for college.
What a douche... My brother did that with my LEGO, just tore it all down, stuffed it into crates and sold it by the crate. Still livid when I think back to it...
No wonder you're mildly annoyed! In all seriousness though, that's just despicable I am so sorry he did that to you
Load More Replies...No problem, figure out how much they are worth today and sue the mf.
This reminds me of the day I went to the bank to make a withdrawal from my college fund. Surprise! It was empty because my mother "needed" the money. First and last time I ever had a joint account.
Why do people think that this is ok to do? I had a massive collection teen magazines from the 70s (think Donny Osmond, Tony DeFranco, David Cassidy, etc ). I had them boxed up & stored away & wrote Please Save on the box. Went into the Navy & guess what? Spoiled little sister threw them away because she thought it was stupid to keep it.
I had a massive comic book collection stored in our huge attic (with things like the first issue of the X-Men, worth a lot of money). My alcoholic stepfather threw all of them out when I went to college.
Load More Replies...My cousin tore down some of my crafts and statues of characters from Shakespeare plays and sold the most of them for a heck lot of money, which he kept for himself. Just the day I left for college
Do you have any siblings, pandas? Apparently, about 82% of us do, which means you likely know the experience of having to share everything while growing up. You might remember getting picked on by an older brother or sister, or perhaps doing the "picking" yourself, if you happen to be the oldest. Sibling relationships are often rocky while we’re young and growing up, as we can be competitive with one another or frustrated when it feels like we don't all receive the same treatment. But especially by the time we reach adulthood, our siblings can become our best friends. They were our first friends anyway, so why not nurture that relationship for the rest of our lives?
Your brothers and sisters can understand you in a way that even your closest friends may not, as they grew up in the same household and shared similar experiences. But unfortunately, the sibling to best friend pipeline doesn’t work for everyone. And sometimes becoming adults leads to an even greater wedge forming between brothers and sisters. This list features some shockingly egregious examples of sibling behavior that might inspire you to send a quick text to your brothers or sisters letting you know that you love them. And you appreciate them for never demanding money from you…
Parents With Children Should Skip All The Lines

Load More Replies...So, if they ban childless visitors, there will only be parents with children left, right? So they ALL get to skip the line? That woman didn't really think about what she's saying.
It's an endless leapfrog with no one actually getting ON the ride ever!! They cut in front and then the mother behind them cuts in front and then the mother behind THEM cuts in front and... kind of like when we were kids and played the "hand stacking game" when you'd put your hands on top of each other's hands, alternating, palm-down, and whoever's hand was on the very bottom slid it out and slapped it on the top, repeat ad infinitum XD

Even if you were that utilitarian a dog costs much more than a shoe, not to mention all the care and food that went into raising it. You just lost a shoe, which isn't a big deal, your sister might lose a dog that she is emotionally attatched to, which is horrible.
Oh I'd lose a sister over that!! Disowning is an option but bad "accident" is better!

I'll go my entire life without weed if someone will hook me up with a trust fund
I already go my entire life without weed, so just give me the money.
Load More Replies...Where does it say he wants to use this money to buy more drugs? I think his dad threatening to take away his future because he smoked some weed (while probably claiming he's throwing away his future) is a very toxic thing to do.
OP: "I really can't take the drug test." Coming from a former addict, that is NOT a phrase you say if all you have in your system is weed (which wouldn't surprise the dad as he already caught OP smoking it.) OP has other drugs in his system, I guarantee that. OP would spend his trust fund money on more drugs. Addicts literally cannot help it. You don't want to know how much of my savings I burned through during my (thankfully brief) dance with cocaine. (Hint: all of it.) OP wants to use this money to buy more drugs. Absolutely.
Load More Replies...I've been smoking cannabis daily for decades, and now use it as a medicinal aid, yet I'd find a way to stay off it for a trust fund.
If you and your siblings can’t seem to be in the same room together for more than an hour without getting under one another’s skin, know that you’re not alone. Sadly, it’s quite common to have to deal with conflicts between siblings, even as adults, so Kristin McCarthy wrote a piece for Love to Know discussing this topic. Kristin notes that it can first be helpful to get to the bottom of where this conflict is stemming from.
It might be because you and your sibling have different relationships with your fellow family members, such as being much closer to your parents or another sibling. Or perhaps the conflict is rooted in competition between the two of you or an ongoing sibling rivalry that never seems to end. Whatever the cause may be, it’s best to identify it to work on resolving it.
Kristin goes on to write that, if you and your sibling are able to sit down and attempt to work through your issues, try to confront the conflict head-on. “While you may have stress and anxiety over sitting down with them, it is important that this initial step be made so you can move towards a place where you are comfortable in close proximity, despite differences. If you decide to meet up, pick a location that is comfortable for everyone, yet also neutral. You'll want to be on as even ground as possible for this.”
My Brother Demanding Money From My 65-Year-Old Mother
There is absolutely no way on this earth that I would of given him anything,ever again. If either of my sons (who are adults) spoke this way to my face,they would be picking themselves up off the floor not l9ng after. Absolutely disgusting. To speak to anybody this way,let alone your mother

The Reason I Associate As Little As Possible With My Half Brother
could be a New Zealand insult (means dumb*ss), but looking at the Reddit comments it seems "egg" was supposed to instead say the f-slur for gay people (the last gray message corrects it), and "carrot" the longer form of that same slur.

Of course, this is the same brother when I bought plane tickets to Hawaii to go visit our oldest brother when he was stationed there, he basically said he was going and I wasn't.

Best part of this convo are the ridiculous insults. If someone called me a carrot froot loop, I'd be laughing too hard to reply.
Cb Bargains Their Way Out Of 6 Months Free Rent, No Utilities…because They Wouldn’t Be Paid Extra Cash For Dog Sitting
The original offer was brilliant and fair, why would you even want to negotiate?
i know right! you get a house, no rent AND you get to look after two dogs!?
Load More Replies...good. OP was kind of a jerk for trying to negotiate that
Load More Replies...At the start of the article, I was with OP. Yes, you should get paid for 6 months of dog sitting. Then I got to the rest. Kid, you ARE getting paid in free living, utilities, etc.
I feel like this person isn't aware of how much it costs to live on your own.
In the update to the posting, the OP said that they demanded to be paid in addition to the free housing. OP asked 'What other option does my sister have?' Well, it turned out the sister did have another option. A friend is going to take the free housing for dogcare offer and OP is back at square one, unpaid, living far from uni at Mom and Dad's house.
I like how OP says they "can't afford to live on her own.... " Then complains about getting to live on her own in exchange for simply taking care of 2 dogs. Also having the ability to get a part time job to cover any additional expenses considering all the bills are being paid for. That's 6 months they could save up money so when the time comes they can afford to try to live in their own.
Honestly, I would be afraid to leave my dogs with such a stupid person. I doubt she has the ability to commit to the care of the dogs if something unexpected turned up like the need for a vet. She'd probably let the dog die and tell the owners that she was too busy to attend to the dog's needs cause she had to go to class!!
Load More Replies...When it comes to resolving conflicts with a sibling, Kristin recommends following a few basic guidelines: present your problems, use “I” statements to avoid playing the blame game, remain calm, practice active listening, offer possible solutions, and check back in later. Issues don’t usually disappear overnight, but with some effort on both sides, wounds can be healed.
Then it’s best to work on preventing any future conflicts. To do so, Kristin notes that it can be helpful to focus on preparing yourself before the next interaction you have with this sibling. “Consider all the possibilities surrounding the meeting. This mental preparation will help you calm your anxiety beforehand,” she writes. Then, remember to avoid confrontational conversation. If certain topics always lead to an argument, just skip them altogether. If a situation becomes uncomfortable, try to shut it down before it escalates, and if it comes down to it, simply limit your interactions with one another altogether.
When Your Younger Sister Who Lives Rent And Bill Free, With A Job, Wants You To Pay To See Her
My younger brother still leaches off my Ma even though he’s 44 years old. It’s pathetic.

It’s Everyday
It's not just the stepfather. It can also be the biological father.
2 sides to every story, sometimes the parents are wrong, sometimes it’s the kids.
If the issue at hand does happen to be a sibling rivalry, Dr. Elizabeth Scott wrote an article discussing how to handle the accompanying stress of sibling rivalries for VeryWell Mind. She first notes that instead of immediately jumping to frustration with your sibling, it might be helpful to understand where the rivalry started. They often come from parental favoritism, which can cause lasting impacts on children. If the rivalry began in adulthood, however, it might have been caused by geographical proximity, shared personality features, or other factors such as personal views.
Wherever the rivalry stems from, however, Dr. Scott urges readers to try not to take it personally. “Understand that your parent may not ‘love’ the other sibling more, they just feel closer or more invested in their lives, for whatever reason,” she writes. “They may not even be aware of it, and most likely are not doing it to hurt your feelings.”
My Brother Was Mad Cause I Wouldn’t Let Him Have Anymore Candy After He Had Almost A Whole Bag. This Is What He Did. This Is My 1,000 Dollar iPad That I Earned
Don’t know why she wouldn’t just use pliers to take the port out of the iPad, then spend $5 on a new cord. (Edit: Yeah, the brother is a little shît, but I just mean it was weird how she commented on the cost of the iPad as thought it’s ruined forever, when it’s an easy fix.)
Not the point, but then she's the one that lead us over there. A cord is not an iPad.
Load More Replies...The price of the iPad is irrelevant. It's only a cheap cord which was damaged
Apple's EULA says you have to state the price of your iDevice every time you're talking about it.
Load More Replies...Every one is making this WAY more difficult than it needs to be but either way, yes, pliers. Use the plyers in one smooth gentle pulling motion to remove the broken piece from your computer. Use a second, faster and swifter, stabbing motion to put those plyers into your brother's neck. Then take your computer and your newly won candy back to your room and enjoy. Told you it was simple.
Be certain that the broken end of the charging cable is deeply embedded in his neck, this will ensure maximum retention rate on the punishment.
Load More Replies...Get a pair of pliers, and carefully pull it out. Since there's still a part sticking out, it can be removed (once happened to me because it fell to the floor). New cable and you should be good.
I try not to advocate violence but in this case, someone deserves a good smack upside his head. Smh...
...that's just the charging cable though. Sure, it's annoying, but a new one is like 20 bucks. Make him pay for it of course.
Thats f*cked up, he destroyed ur property. Have him find a way 2 pay you back for that. money or chore wise.

Once again, from Brother to No Relation in 3... 2... 1... DONE!!!
But if you’re having trouble coping with an adult sibling rivalry, Dr. Scott recommends finding support elsewhere in your life, such as among friends or other family members who make you feel loved unconditionally. And resist the urge to perpetuate your sibling rivalry. Don’t go out of your way to compete or blame them for being favored. “You’ll also feel better if you accept that you may not get as much support and approval from parents as you want, and that’s okay,” Dr. Scott notes. “If you don’t come at them from a place of need, you will actually have more personal power.” Finally, remember to focus on what’s most important: your own family and nurturing the relationships that are most meaningful to you.
When Asked If He Could Bring The Console To Our Dad’s House, Mom Gave My Little Brother A Definitive No. After They Left, I Walked Back To My Room And Found It Missing
Little brother is 10 according to OP. WAY old enough to know he is in the wrong. OP also stated, "Joke’s on him though ‘cause mom used the Xbox family app to block his account, and mine too in case he thinks he can outsmart us."
He took it. U got a phone right there, txt ur mum and show her the photo.
Might be helpful to know how old "little" brother is. Maybe he's 11 and has rarely been told know or had to reap any consequences. I am sure there are better options for disciplining a child (if they happen to be one) than to call police and report a theft.

Load More Replies...The examples on this list are mainly siblings who have exhibited extremely entitled behavior, but all sorts of issues can cause rifts in sibling relationships. If you need some advice for how to get along well with your adult siblings, here are some tips from Laurie Kramer, a professor of applied psychology at Northeastern University in Boston. She first recommends making time to see one another outside of your familial obligations, like going to mom and dad’s for holidays. She also recommends resisting the urge to assume you know things about your sibling just because you grew up together. Allow them to tell and show you who they are now and have honest conversations about how you remember growing up and how things have changed.

My Brother Always Makes My Poor Mom Clean His After Him

There Was No Warning, She Didn't Ask. She Took Money To Go On Vacation
The hair on the top left had me blowing on my screen.
I dunno how they managed to come up with a plan to make this happen, much less potentially calling to book reservations, reading a map or programming a GPS. Actually, I'm baffled they were able to even write anything at all considering their note makes zero sense. I know what each word means individually, but when they are thrown together as OP has so eloquently done here, any understanding eludes me.
I remember the days when my mom and sister forced me to make my bank accounts joint with them. They never stole my money, but they watched MY spending like a hawk and would question every withdrawal/purchase. Joint finances with family members is usually a nasty thing once you're an adult, unless you have a good family. I don't XD
I would have done the joint thing just to shut them up, but never use the account and get your own elsewhere.
Load More Replies...At least she will pay you back w/ intrest. BESIDES she is ur mom. I wouldnt care unless we were poor tbh
Kramer also reminds that siblings must remember to stop comparing themselves to one another. “Just as when your younger brother got a bigger slice of cake, it might not seem fair that, as an adult, they end up with a better job or bigger house,” Katie Hunt writes for CNN Health. “But these are old feelings that don’t stand up to honest scrutiny. We all make different choices, and there’s no innate reason your path should be similar to your sibling’s.”
My Brother Likes To Make Large Sum Bets And Thinks I'll Just Pull Out Of My Savings To Help Pay His Dues
I gotta rephrase that for you. Never give ANYONE money. It's a quick way for the lender to grow resentful and bonds are all to often broken when the lendee doesn't/can't repay in a timely fashion.

I’ve never understood this compulsion or the justifications that go along with it.

And what do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be my brother's enabler. Looks like you're on the right track.
Never let ur bro gamble, never help him gamble. he will be another person that has a bad addiction thet will ruin his life.

Load More Replies...Despite the fact that you share about 50% of your DNA with your siblings, you don’t always need to maintain relationships with them. If you’ve worked hard for years attempting to mend your relationship to no avail, it might be healthier for you to just stop trying. “When or how a person might know it’s time to cut ties completely depends on the individual situation and comfort level. If there’s persistent emotional manipulation, physical abuse, or other unhealthy or destructive behaviors that are causing harm, then it may be best to end the relationship,” says Kalley Hartman, clinical director at Ocean Recovery in Newport Beach, California. “If they’re not good for you emotionally, psychologically, or physically, it’s better to have a chosen family with friends, rather than sibling relationships chosen for us — especially if nothing’s going to change in that sibling dynamic.”

My Sister Asking For My Netflix When She Is 33 And Lives With My Mom And Dad
OP says they didn't mean to send "no" as an answer, but were stunned at the immediate and vitriolic response to the accidental "no".
My reply would have been a little longer with the second word being “off”.
Load More Replies...When she says “all the sacrifices we …” is she really counting herself in with her parents who might have actually made sacrifices? Does she consider herself to one of the homeowners? Was she referring to the sister staying? I know it’s not necessary to the story, but I’m dying to know lol
According to OP on Reddit (I did a little digging), OP struggled with addiction over 10 years ago. OP's sister still gives them s**t about it. Perhaps sister did provide help or support during OP's struggle with addiction, or maybe sister feels like OP's parents spent more time/money on OP trying to help them, and sister "made sacrifices" because she didn't get what she wanted during that time. OP doesn't really specify, so I'm speculating that last bit.
Load More Replies...that was purely uncalled for. shows how heartless + selfish some people are
I'm in shock. With all these post with a sibling incredibly entitle while the other is normal. There must have been alot of favortism growing up. Feel sad reading all this
I genuinely hope that you pandas cannot relate to the posts on this list, but if you can, remember that it’s totally fine to set boundaries with your brothers and sisters. Just because you grew up together doesn’t mean that they’re entitled to treat you however they like. Keep upvoting the pictures that you find most appalling, and then let us know in the comments below if you have any personal stories of sibling entitlement to share. Then, if you’re interested in reading another Bored Panda article featuring relatives who don’t understand boundaries or manners, you can find more “choosing beggars” right here!
My Brother Taking My Bluetooth Headset Without Permission And Returning It Like This
How do you know he did it on purpose? Wouldn't it make more sense to buy yourself some as now he can no longer borrow hers, and he still needs to purchase news ones for the ones he damaged.

Get yourself a new cable and every time he wants to play, give him this cable
I need to know if these charger destroyers are children or adult siblings! They say “his turn” so o hope that means a kid.
Even if it's a child, it's aggressive behavior that shouldn't be tolerated

or better yet, play it, and be the worst kind of a*****e possible just to get the account banned. :')
Load More Replies...I think I need more information as I'm currently unsure which we are meant to judge. Hmmm.
While you got downvoted for some reason, I tend to agree. Compared to some of the other things on here, "My brother paused my downloads to download something of his own!!!" is pretty tame and mild. Irritating? Yes. "So entitled it'll make your blood boil" as the article title states? lol no. How entitled do YOU have to be to feel like your brother pausing your GAME DOWNLOADS is something that wrecks your life enough that you have to post it on the internet looking for sympathy? likes? for the lols? I'm sure I'll get downvoted for my opinion as well, but OP is a bit whiny. It's a download, friend. He didn't destroy your console, or your games, or even delete your stuff, etc. Yes, I'd be pissed too if a sibling did this to me. Would I post it on the internet while declaring him entitled? Nah.

A normal kid. Both are waiting to play, one starts TWO downloads, the other one is not going to wait.

I suspect option three was going to be: “Option three: I do nothing and you leave me alone because I’m not discussing this.” Seeing that this is most likely the case, good on OP for setting strong boundaries and sticking to them!

So. Difficult. To read. (Edit here: I mainly meant the length and vitriol content, but yes, Zooming in does the trick) :)
How is this even a thing? I don't drive but I've never asked for a lift to an airport, I've always used public transport. This in the UK, our airports are really well served by trains and buses.
Liz, if you live in or near to a big city I can see why you'd use public transport. However, imagine living in a small village. One bus an hour that only goes to the local town. Tons of people will have to drive/cab or get a lift to the airport.

My parents claim my phone makes me go crazy, but completely flip out if they see me checking what homework I have
That feels familiar. My mom was always telling me that I "spent too much time" playing video games and/or being on the computer when I was a kid, and once phones were a thing, she was always telling me I was going to strain my eyes staring at my phone all day. Now, she has like 3 iPads and her iPhone that she plays Candy Crush on ALL DAY, and she has TWO computers at home (a Mac and a PC) and she plays solitaire on the PC and makes virtual puzzles on the Mac. ALL. DAY. How the turns have tabled!

I bought it with my own money.
I need more info. What is a controller? Why would it be useful on vacation??
Why it would be useful on vacation isn't the point. It's hers and she can take it out for a drive or for a walk in the park if she wants to.

This post has been here on BP before, and it was NOT between 2 sisters. And it’s so obvious, with how formal the OP is in some phrasing.
Yeah bored panda reuses a lot of content and just tries to make it fit the current narrative

Sister could... just... wash the towels after OP uses them? Or OP could just... turn on the laundry machine and... WASH the towels in there, before they bathe?
And why should the sick person be forced to do laundry because the sister is insane?
Load More Replies...The sister sounds crazy. Hiding towels? Why not just ask the sick sister to keep the towels in her room/separate?
I see two Karen sisters here. Either of them can push the laundry button.
So the sick person should have to do laundry to take a bath or shower cause the sister is insane?

My parents were out of town for vacation over Thanksgiving. My sister (then 27 to my 40) was angry at me for not cooking dinner after I came over and saw our parents’ house completely thrashed. Like I’d have to spend 2 hours cleaning up the kitchen just to spend 6 hours making dinner. I turned around and walked out, and went home. She completely lost her s**t. She told me to never come to come near her nor her children again. Her rant continued to say she’s make sure my parents never spoke to me again. That her children would never be anywhere my son, and if I came over to the house while she was there, she would call the police and file an assault and stalking complaint against me. And that she hoped I’d die and go to hell. Hours later, she had the audacity to ask me to babysit so she could Black Friday shop.
She did it again a couple of years later when I was pregnant. This time my husband and parents were there. She flew into a fit calling me several unpleasant names, said to never come near her or her kids again and to never come to my parents’ house. My dad stepped in and told her she does not determine who is or is not welcome in HIS home. Yeah…she’s real freaking pleasant to be around when she doesn’t get her way.

After 5 years of staying up after midnight my time zone in Europe to call my family, I had enough of being the only one to keep in contact. I told my mom I was never going to call her again, and I'd prefer it if she left me alone, as she had been doing. She thought I was suicidal, and made my brother call the American embassy, who sent a medic team to visit me. I was fine. The embassy couldn't report to my family in the usa that I was OK and insisted I contact my family, which I refused to do. My family called the local police to do a wellness check on me, who urged me to contact my American family, which I refused to do. My mother, through my brother, then sent a letter to my ex-husband saying I was emotionally abusive and they had cut ties with me. When you're the lucid member of your family but they still drive you crazy---
I know I've said this before on here, but cut the toxic people out of your life, your mental health will thank you for it!!
My grandmother has Alzheimer's disease and my aunt makes the estate pay for her plane fair when she comes out to visit. Wild! And aunt's husband is a doctor. Not like she can't afford it.
If you have a friend or if your partner is toxic, you walk away. Do the same for family. Toxic is toxic regardless of whether it's family, friend or partner. Better be alone without family that with people who left you in a position where their toxic behavior is that bad that you have walked away from them. Don't allow them to be the victim cause of you walking away.
