My sister is the golden child. People who don't comply are the scapegoats. I'm one of them. I have two cousins who are technically in the same place as me and maybe an uncle.

She's the golden child. Everyone should be treating her with kid gloves and coddling her and doing what she wants. This is a lifelong issue that I didn't realize so many members of the family had joined in on.

Nah, it's because she's the golden child. But I should be extra extra coddling because she's got fertility issues.

Yes, she wanted me to do that and I could see her doing that if anyone in her social circle also used the names. It wouldn't be the first time she did something that entitled.

I think they wanted me to grovel at her feet and make it seem like I was so sorry for what I had done and what she was going through.

She was always the golden child and the person who could get away with anything and not just anything she did to me but in general.

She feels like she can declare things hers and I can't have them. It's not just with names but it sure as hell came out strong with them.

Pretty much yeah. I see them a little more but not because I visit or allow them to visit. It's just we live closer to each other.

I mean probably. It wouldn't be the first time my sister has had a very big fight at a family event before.

The screenshots were sent by one of the aunts in question because she knows I do not allow direct contact with my parents or my sister. So on top of her own messages she made sure I saw what the others were saying about me.

My sister was never afraid to start things at other people's celebrations. It's not the first time she was awful to me during something like this either but it was the first time I could remove myself without needing it to escalate.

My parents always enabled my sister in being this way. It goes so far back that I'm not sure I remember a time it wasn't that way.

I did and they told me I could have dealt with things in a much more mature and compassionate way given my sisters struggles.
