I'm heartbroken and scared. I have had a pretty difficult life and gone through multiple losses of family members. I moved countries last year to get a fresh start. My support system was happy for my achievements. I have some distant family here that welcomed me with open arms and I was finally finding my own feet again. I have just started therapy as well but my next session isn't for another few days.
My estranged sister was one of my main abusers when I was younger. She would listen to my conversations with friends on the landline, threw boiling tea on me when she was upset. Dragged me across a room and onto a metal bed because she didn't like my presence, tore all my favourite books into tiny pieces and a whole host of other incredibly toxic things.
Now that we're a little older I've been able to get away. I'm from a culture where family lives together so getting out was a huge decision that took a lot of work.
She has now started imitating my successes. She transitioned into the same career as mine. Is pursuing another degree in the same niche that I am now transitioning into. Is now moving into not only the same country but the same city and is suddenly pursuing the same hobbies that I have. I feel so threatened and scared. I have been no contact with her for years but this feels too close for comfort and I dont know how to navigate the situation when I have to see her at mutual gatherings.
Tl:dr; copycat, abusive sister moving countries to live 30 mins away from me.
