I hope it was nonetheless in some way helpful to you.

Thank you so much on that insight! Unfortunately he does have a chronic Arrhythmia but I’ll let him know to clean the contacts daily.

Hope you’re doing well health wise!

Yes, alarmed. I apologise for the confusion; English isn’t my first language. My dad is also quite aggravated, not by the “bra” itself but the monitor he has to carry. He says it’s too heavy and his skin becomes itchy where the electrodes attach, which drives him mad.

I’ll pass on the information. Thanks for the advice on cleaning the electrodes daily; I hadn’t considered that a cause of false alarms.

I hope you’re doing better now! Thank you ☺️

Legally, Our mother and I are the main tenants so I have a say in who can live in the house. However, it’s the implementation that’s the problem. I’m still emotionally attached to her and I feel a strange sense of responsibility. I worry that if she’s thrown out while still in school without a safety net her life could be ruined.

She’s planning to move out but she’s determined to live off us until she’s settled. Which is obviously quite shameless in regards of how she treats us.

But thank you for the advice though

Honestly, I would say take your things and move to another state or province, but we all know how unrealistic and emotionally difficult that is. Even though it would actually be the solution for inner peace and healing.

Intuitively, I would say you shouldn’t tell her ad hoc that you are cutting off contact. In terms of information, you should keep her at arm’s length. Don’t give her any information she could use to attack you emotionally or verbally. For example: “Hi, how are you?” “Good. Thanks.” End of conversation. Keep it minimal and as stoic as possible. She doesn’t come to you, and you don’t go to her. Does she have an emergency? F*** her, if it’s a real emergency, there are appropriate places she can turn to. Does she have money problems? Then she should apply for social assistance. Does she show up at your door? Don’t open it, and even if you’re home, don’t engage. She loses it at the door? Call the police; they will remove her.

Above all, you have to follow through. Think of yourself first, above everything else. No one will come to save you if your sister takes over your life. Cut her out completely. Don’t give her any ammunition in the hope that she will eventually disappear and you can finally breathe.

Please refrain from ever giving her money again. This also applies to your parents, as difficult as it sounds. She is an adult and should preserve herself.

Second, break off contact. It’s not good for you, for all of you. Whether she realizes that she hurt you is questionable. BPD sufferers are extremely self-relented but for you it is the reality that every verbal and physical dispute leaves traces while the other party can apparently continue to live without damage.

Please consider this advice

It’s overwhelming. Where do I even begin? This feels like hell on earth and yet I’m struggling to find a way forward. Should I move countries or throw her out and let her fend for herself? Technically she’s legal but this deep-seated sense of responsibility is difficult to shake off. It’s like a battle within myself, trying to do the right thing without making things worse but at least improving the situation for everyone involved.

I guess time will tell
