(11,649 posts)it was a phone call and "the bachelorette" was more important than me. you don't treat a grieving sister like that.
i wouldn't call watching a stupid show being in the middle of something. i never would have done that to her. our problems go back a long time. this was the proverbial straw.
it's not like i called her at work.
i always listened to her problems over the years.
i was feeling better about the whole thing until i read your post. everyone else was supportive of me and thought my sister did a terrible thing. maybe being an only child has something to do with your reaction. i'm an empathetic person who feels other people's pain. my friend's father just passed on saturday and i cried like a baby. when ted kennedy died i cried for days. when my friend's aunt died i couldn't stop crying -- i knew how close they were.
obviously my sister doesn't have that empathy. she was spoiled rotten by our mom and is extremely self centered. she broke my mom's heart. my mom gave her everything -- raised her 2 kids -- then she practically threw my mom out because she found a new guy in another state. she had to get rid of our mom and her 2nd husband. BTW. she had 2 good husbands and cheated on both of them.
