Now, this sounds like a typical younger sister thing to say, I know, but I swear it's true. (Note, this is kind of a long story, but it's all necessary, also I'm 17 and my sister is almost 19) Today (and this is but one of many examples of when she's been more than I can handle), we're sitting at the dinner table after dinner. I've just sat down with my cup of tea, and we're looking at ideas for Christmas baking we can do, everything's fine. I make this popping noise with my mouth, just a couple of times. I don't really have a good reason for it, I just do. I'm bored, I guess.
To anybody else, it wouldn't be a big deal, but my sister all but tells me to shut up, as she often does if I'm doing anything to annoy her (singing, making noise, etc.). If she'd asked me nicely, I would have stopped but since she's so rude, I keep doing it. This is where she usually punches me, and this time was no exception. She hits me in the shoulder. Hard. I tell her not to hit me, it's not ok, etc.
Normally, this is when she usually stops, usually because my parents are there and they make her stop, but this time she keeps hitting me. I hit her back, lightly, across the chest. I must have clipped her chin as I did, because all of a sudden she's going off about how I hit her in the face and b*tching about what a terrible person I am, all the while still hitting me.
I get up. I don't want to stay there, so I start to walk away. She follows me, bumping and spilling my tea as she does. I'm in the living room now and she's coming after me, grabbing at me and hitting me. I'm telling her to stop, and she won't. I hit her again., this time in the stomach, which she's left exposed. I hit a little harder this time, though still not that hard.
She's flipping out now. My mom's coming in and she's going to my her about how I hit her in the face and in the stomach and how terrible I am, etc. Meanwhile I go back to the dining table and sit down to drink what's left of my tea. Once my sister has realised that my mom is not listening to her story, my sister shifts her attention back to me.
Now, this is where it starts to get weird, not that it wasn't strange before. I sit and start drinking my tea, and my sister comes and just stands next to my chair. Staring at me. Every once in a while she pulls out her phone, but mostly she's just looking at me. I don't look at her. I only know she's there because I can see her out of the corner of my eye and in the reflection in the window.
After a while, I get up and go into the kitchen. She follows me. Still watching me. I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable now so I go and sit down with my dog, my back to my sister. She's still in the kitchen and I can see her reflection in my phone. She's still watching me from where she's standing.
Eventually I get up and go into the living room where my mom is sitting and about to watch some TV. My sister follows me, still staring at me. I ask her to stop staring at me. She doesn't answer. My mom asks her why she's staring at me. She answers saying that I hit her and she won't stop until I apologise to her (I mean really, does she not realise what a hypocrite she is???)
Now, maybe this is the time when I should apologise, but I don't. I tell her that I'm not sorry, that she was hitting me and I only hit her to get her to stop. I won't apologise because I don't feel sorry at all. She says "Fine, this is more fun for me anyways." I really don't see how staring at me creepily is more fun, but ok. I turn and start talking to my mother, who is annoyed with us because of our 'stupid argument'.
Eventually my sister apologises. After a minute I also apologise. She asks why I'm sorry. I ask why she's sorry, since she never said either. She - very snottily - says she's sorry for making me upset. I'm really not that upset, but ok. I say that I'm sorry for hitting her. Oddly enough she doesn't seem to believe that I mean it. I wonder why.
She leaves, still glaring at me, but not following me anymore thankfully. I tell my mom I'm going to walk the dog but I have to go to the bathroom first. On my way to the bathroom I go to walk past my sister who's now just standing in the hall. As soon as she sees me coming she turns and locks herself in the bathroom, glaring at me the entire time.
So, yeah, that's what happened tonight, although that's only tonight. I have way more stories about my sister, but based on that example alone, would you say there's something wrong with her? She's really made me feel unsafe in my own home. I really want to leave because of her, but I don't know how, especially not without hurting my parents' feelings and I'm leaving in the summer anyways to go on an exchange for a year in Croatia. I'd really like to know what other people think because I seriously think there's something wrong with my sister and I don't want to be around her if she's going to treat me like this.
