Thanks for the confirmation

[philstar22]

My sister basically confirmed today that I was right to cut her off from knowing about my life and me. I can't trust her, and I should have trusted my instincts.

Anyway, she had called yesterday to talk to my mother, and my mother was busy with something, so we were talking while waiting. I had started talking with her more the past couple of months since she's had some rough personal stuff and I've been trying to be a caring sister.

Sister asked about my job interview, so clearly parents had told her about that. I said that I had been told to call Tuesday if the attorney hadn't called to let me know whether I got the job or not. The attorney had told me during the interview that she gets busy and forgets things so that I should call to remind her Tuesday. So I called Tuesday afternoon around 2:30. No one answered the phone, so I called an hour later. My sister tells me that I need to be careful not to call too much because she likes to lecture people, especially me, and always thinks she knows better. I say that thank you, I know that, but I was told to call and she currently is understaffed and is answering the phone herself sometimes and I don't think two calls an hour apart is too much.

I thought that was the end of it, but my sister clearly didn't like my answer. She goes behind my back today and calls and talks to both of my parents, telling them (yes telling, not asking) that they need to talk to me and tell me to not call the office again.

She wants to control my life. She thinks she knows better. And I'm really done this time with sharing any of me with her because she clearly isn't trustworthy.

Anyway, I called the office again today and was able to leave a message. Turns out the attorney is out of the office with something unexpected. I also talked to my current "boss" who hadn't actually returned the call requesting a reference, so that's another rant. He did say he'll give me a positive reference, but I don't know when he'll actually call.

That is fucking nuts. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Like...wow.

Honestly, maybe she's jealous because you have a career people respect, and like, if she can insert herself into your life and feel like she's giving you advice, then she can tell herself that she's even more capable and life-savvy than you are, and not have to face the fact that she's way behind you in that regard.

That's just my thought, as someone who has a shitty job and feels inferior about it.

She's a church organist. Pretty sure that's a respected job (at least here in Texas). She's just controlling and feels like she knows better than everyone else.

Edit: She goes up and down with being happy in her job. SHe's told me she wishes she went to law school. Of course, she took that opportunity to denigrade my choices in specific legal fields because she says she would have choosen the most high powered legal job possible to make the most money possible and that I should have too.

Oof, yeah. Information diet, stat.

Ugh, I'm sorry. I don't have a relationship with my brother because he's a major asshole (he once declared that we needed to "sit down and have a talk about something important", and I thought it was you know, actually important...turned out to be a lecture from him about how I needed to find a boyfriend because it "wasn't normal" that I didn't have one, ugh, just thinking about it pisses me off).

Anyway, yeah. Some siblings just really suck.

wtf!

Re: Thanks for the confirmation

[philstar22]

Wow. That's...I'm impressed you didn't scream at him honestly. Sorry you had to deal with that.

... that conversation would be cringey, invasive and unpleasant enough if coming from a parent but a brother? Yikes.
