I was thinking that too. She's definitely unhinged enough to have done it on purpose.

Parvo is brutal, I hope your puppy was ok. (Edit) i just saw your other comment! So glad she's ok

Actually, Parvo would have prevented me from going. Your dog doesn't eat, doesn't drink, and you have no idea if she's going to be dead when you get home from the wedding. It was the most heartbreaking and nervewracking experience if my life. Watching her condition deteriorate and not knowing if she was going to still be alive when you woke up the next morning. I lost so much sleep. Luckily she made a full recovery. She required around the clock care. I had to force feed her water every hour.

But thats still the job of 1 person and maybe 2. If the dog was really that sick and she needed help, why did BOTH parents have to abandon one child for the next. This was an issue with a simple solution, but they didnt care.

Stop acting like you have any idea what's happening, you don't. Again, take your own advise

It's not a support animal, she's nowhere on the spectrum, and this dog has never had to save her life - this dog just saved her from having to spend one day actually admitting that she's NOT an only child (even though she basically is considering the parents won't treat their son as one of their children). The OP clearly states she has no developmental issues, she's just a spoiled entitled b***h who's parents can't even briefly stop enabling her even if it means telling their son he might as well have been adopted - or rather he should have been adopted. Any couple that adopted him would've cared far more about him than his biological parents ever have - or ever will as long as she's alive, and if she dies they'll probably be too devastated to deal with the fact that they actually do have another child or they'll end up expecting the support from him that he never got from them once and will be nothing to him but a burden.

These are very old tricks, she taught them all her life, to perfection.

She's a sociopath and just all around bad person. She likes to manipulate everything bc she can and she's proved it over and over and over! This was the ultimate one. There is no bigger day that is just about you than your wedding. I'm sure she got her dog sick on purpose. She every well could have other mental issues but she'd definitely a pyschopath. She seems to enjoy making her brother feel like s**t. Now the 3 are crushed bc the cat's out of the bag. Karma is a b***h

Yes, I had a parent who hated me and loved her three other kids. No, I don't visit any of them.

That's exactly how my step grandma was with me up until she died. Yes, she went to some events throughout school for me, but she talked up my cousins and talked me down and went as far as to take my summer homework away because she didnt think I had any, then acted like it was my fault for starting highschool with a failing grade in my best subject. Not to mention she tried getting my dad to enforce me asking for food at his house like I had to at my mom's since we lived with her. I'm the only one out of my cousins with an eating disorder, and she caused it. People are like this a lot more often then you think. Just because you haven't experienced it doesnt mean it hasn't happened.

Lilly Francis You're AMAZING! Too many people bow down to the word "family". Just because you're related by blood or even adoption, doesn't mean there should be a relationship of any kind. Family is only meaningful if respect is shown and actions back up the "love" and "respect". We are meant to live in peace. Anyone who screws with our peace should be out of our lives. We should not be captives just because we are "family". No guilt trips!!!!!

My eldest sister is a megasized narcissist!!! She accused me of a bunch of BS...this was the night before Daddy's funeral. She told everyone that I forbade her to attend the service. I did no such thing...only mom had the word on who could/couldn't attend. Some of the family believed her, others didn't. I went through years of gossip & whispers. And she never even apologized. I haven't dealt with her nor our alcoholic drama queen middle sis since then. Washed my hands of them.

You're funny! My family tried to guilt me all the time but that didn't mean I was going to put with it! I loved my family deeply but there's only so much you can take and then you say that's enough! It's not healthy for anyone to let that go on but you have to be big enough and strong enough to back it up and I hit that at 17 and then I was done and I told my parents they needed help and they were going to get it one way or another because I was tired of being a punching bag and kickball both physically and verbally and I wasn't going to allow that to happen to my baby brother and I sacrificed a lot because of their BS. I walked away from a double major full scholarship because I couldn't leave my brother alone with my dad but that was my choice because his safety was more important. Guilt isn't the issue, it's about right and wrong and I'll do the right thing every time and never regret it.

BTW, I believe everyone is family I just haven't met yet. We're all brothers and sisters on this earth and we need to watch out for each other.

Good for you Lilly Francis. You out up healthy boundaries. That is very difficult for a or of people to do!

Thank you but I'm not like most people besides I'd already tolerated enough throughout my life, I decided I was done taking it and it was time for them to start being reasonable. And no one hurts my sister! And my grandparents were hurting her.

They just gotta try and control us, don't they!

Curious are y'all still together?

Religion was forbidden in my dad's castle! I brought it into our home but I'm not really religious I'm spiritual and there is a difference. I don't follow any one religion, I follow the teachings of Jesus and try and follow the path He would walk. The WWJD is what I live by and I told my dad he needed to take some lessons because he was extremely abusive. He took the church away from my mom and all of us but we didn't know about it. I learned on my own. I think my would have destroyed me if I didn't have my Faith to lean on because he was so brutal in every way, emotionally, mentally and physically. And he was emotionally and mentally abusive to my mom. He was a narcissistic sociopath with a rage disorder but I refused to let him destroy my family.

I reside at least 3,000km away from my family, leapt at the chance, when told my job was going to get relocated. Have been back for my 50th, but was more about things happening with my stepmothers family , rather than me on my 50th. I did get to go out with my dad, until a do called unforeseen emergency came up, that could've waited a day or two. I relocated on 2002, and only went back twice. Once in 2004, and again in 2017.2017i was planning on going for 2 weeks, but cut it back to 1.Suster made excuses not to catch up, plus I'm estranged from my brother (Yes it's spelt correctly aka d'head, by my dad and myself) Dad was apologetic on my day, I just put on a brave face and told him that it was fine, tough he knows otherwise ( He worked it out himself). I speak to him about once a fortnight. I've learnt to survive by myself, it's easier. Plus I have an ABI (sub arachnid aneurysm clipped 1991). Families can suck at times.
