Hey guys, wanted to update on the shitshow that is my family right now. Thanks so much for all the replies on my other post, which is right here.
So if you read the last update, you’ll know that I spoke to my parents about my kid sister J (and my mother did sort of agree towards the end that J needed some limitations), and that J fucked up my car that same night. Not badly but still.
I texted my parents letting them know that she messed up my car. Thought she would at least get her car taken or sold or something, for being so reckless with mine. To my ENORMOUS surprise, they came over and took away both sets of her keys. I thought this would be a win for me but it’s a nightmare.
My entire life, sparing the past year or two, my sister has been very down to earth and laid back about most things. She almost never rose her voice and has ALWAYS had a good temperament. So I was totally unprepared for the full scale meltdown that happened after my parents 1. Took her car keys and 2. Told her they might not be getting her an apartment if she doesn’t do something productive for herself.
“You’re ruining my life, I can’t fucking stand you, it was an accident, just a car, I haven’t felt good lately why can’t you give me a break, you’re my brother you’re supposed to take care of me, blah blah” was what I dealt with that entire night after mom and dad left. She was in this dramatic little heap on my couch for a while, then decided to go out. I was kind of worried since she tends to self destruct and she wouldn’t answer any texts, but not much I can do.
She was mostly freaking out about the idea of going to live back at home, which is hilarious considering that my parents are NEVER home, and that even if they were she gets an entire floor of the house to herself (and it is not a small floor). I told her that if she does something like get a job or get back in school they will definitely help her, but she got tearful and said that felt really hard to do right now (depression, feeling anxious/hopeless). I told her that most people feel depressed or hopeless sometimes and they still get shit done, and she just started crying again.
Anyways, she came home the next morning and has been quiet, sweet, apologetic and extremely clingy ever since. Won’t leave me alone. Keeps offering to get me food and whatever. Saying I can have her car if I want. It’s the whole Bambi look thing. I know she’s doing this to try and get me to call my parents and tell them “it’s fine”, but it’s still making me feel guilty and shitty. I’m annoyed she’s trying that bullshit on me, so I keep telling her to cut she crap and then more tears from her.
I’m not going to call my parents, for the record, but it looks like SHE did. I stopped by my apartment today to grab something I forgot and heard her talking on the phone with either mom or dad about getting a new car. Because she doesn’t like the interior color on hers. And it sounded like a pleasant conversation.
If she gets a new car after fucking up mine I will be so done. She texted me saying that she knows she messed up, is so sorry for how she’s been acting and is going to change, can I just give her another chance...but after hearing some of that phone conversation (“I just really hate black, it’s so boring”), I’m pissed.
I’d like some insight on any next steps because the best I know how to handle this is to ignore it. I’m frustrated by the personality changes in my sister and don’t know what to do at this point.
TL;DR: my little sister wrecked my car, had a meltdown because my parents took her car keys away, and is now acting sugar sweet and apologetic to me. I’m still mad and the best way I know how to deal with this is to ignore it.
