''I have not spoken to my older sister in 5 years and I do not plan to make amends anytime soon''

Loading player...
It is ironic that I would share this with a radio station but not with the person this is about. I have been holding onto resentment and anger for my sister whom I have not spoken to in 5 years. She is 41 years old and has 4 kids. She has never worked a proper job her whole life. We have tried everything for her, and I mean everything. My mother and father still keep welcoming her back to the family home where she is treated like a teenager, breakfast in bed and her kids are taken care of by them emotionally and financially. She infuriates me and I hate that my parents baby her and have enabled this behavior. She is fully capable of working, she is intelligent and able, but is so lazy. She has left 3 jobs in the past that could pay off 2 of her kids school fees for a year in one month for no reason. I do not know what else to do, I cant go back home to even visit my parents because I do not want to be around her
