We are at war. You can pretend we can be one country again, but we can't.

60. sadly, I have to agree

I've spent 2 years seeking common ground with my teaparty sister, who is 9 years older than me.

What I realized a few weeks ago, when she threatened me, was that while I've been seeking common ground, she's been seeking vulnerable moments to attack me.

3 times she has launched unprovoked attacks on me, always when she thought I was particularly vulnerable. The last attack was right after I told her my hours - already part time - had been cut at work, and this was just a few weeks after I'd told her she would never be homeless...that if they lost their home, they could come stay with me.

She has a fancy-schmancy lake front home within commuting distance of NYC. 2,000 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths for 2 childless people and 1 dog. And yet when her sil that she claims to love so much was losing her home, they didn't offer to take her in.

Selfish, greedy, self-important and entitled in the worst sense of the word. All of them.
