    RRRAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTT!

    Sorry just need to get a rant out as my other half is not responding to my requests for a cuddle. (Even more grrrrrrr)

    I was supposed to be meeting up with my sister this weekend but she wanted to meet up tonight instead as she said she felt a bit down after being ill all week - so I said OK. She was down the pub. On her own. She does not have a drinking problem, although I think she probably drinks too much.

    Our history is that often in the past we would have fallings out. I always got the blame because I was a drunk - which is a fair point, but I knew it wasn't just me causing it as I don't have that problem with anyone else.

    So I went and met her (I have no probs with pubs) - I kind of knew it might be a bad idea as when I got there she kept on going on about how beautiful I looked (er ok I haven't seen her since March but I just brushed my hair and came straight out).

    Then she proceeded to yo-yo between telling me that she loved me more than our own parents and cuddling me and then the next minute shouting at me and then denying she had shouted. I had to walk out twice. The first time I relented and went back but the second time no way. She had brought up all this weird stuff about when we were children and how I should remember how good she was to me, like some kind of martyr, and then she went on about how pretty she thought she was. Then she told me I was selfish for never wanting to spend xmas with the family (I volunteer at a homeless project over xmas!)

    Frigging hell, it was totally nuts - but I got so angry at being shouted at that I had to leave. I was really patient, but it was too much in the end as she wasn't even making sense and then got angry when I said I didn't understand what she meant. She was soooo wasted. I know I never got like that - at least not outside of my own front door.

    Sorry I just really needed to let that out. Thank GOD I am on antabuse - that is just the sort of thing that would tip me right over.

    Anyway the rest of the weekend should be better - have lots of other lovely things planned - just hope I can sleep tonight after all that weirdness/abuse.

    Thanks for letting me rant! I needed that.

    Rough night!!! Glad you were on Antabuse though and able to just sit back and watch it.
    Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy being sober. :l:h I think this might be my third one now. I am not counting but it might be.

      Kim :l so sorry you had to endure this - bloody families!! You were quite right to walk out and probably the 1st time would have been enough. Hard as it is, remember that all this that you Sister was spouting has nothing to do with you or reality, it's her view of the world, that's all. She obviously has a lot of issues going on in her life and by drinking it all gets jumbled up and comes out like it did. I actually feel sorry for her as she sounds very unhappy. It's a great reminder why we don't want to drink, whatever problems we have are much more manageable AF.

      Does she know your exact situation? I wondered if there was some jealousy going on because you are handling it? Jealously can be such a strong emotion between siblings.
      I hope you feel better this morning Kim, please remember that what she thinks is her business, you are doing great and I hope you know it.

        I hope you feel better this morning kimberly and as chill has said its probably down to jealously and/plus denial of her own drinking problems,when were drinking it is always everybody else's fault,maybe send her an email/letter explaining your thoughts ,maybe not.

            Kimb, that's sad. You know she is probably trying to sort out in her head what whe did and said. Sometimes, when others are drinking, they are angry at us b/c we're not. I'm sure there are childhood issues, but let them go. I know it happens in my family, and I have some bad memories around them, but it's the past. It may make you feel better to just be there for her, in the future, but only in a non-drinking situation. You have nothing to be angry about, only understanding for her right now, because you are in a better place of understanding. Take care of YOURSELF, and maybe that will influence her to follow your example. :huggy for you, and I know you know how she feels right now after her transgression.
            On the bright side, you were able to walk (or drive) out of it, and that is a very large thing. I'm proud of you, and you will feel better if you can find understanding and forgiveness in your heart for her.

              Thanks everyone for a ll your replies and support. Yeah she's always been a bit emotionally unstable - I mean so have I but I always made sense when I was cussing at people!! (I have been told after the fact ). It's very hard to be there for people when they want to shout at you and disagree with everything you say, even if you don't really say anything!

              I don't want to make her feel worse, so last night after I left I just sent her a text and said 'Hope you got home safe.' No reply so I have left it.

              Had a lovely day today to make up for it. Met up with some old schoolfriends for a long lunch - 2 of whom are now preggers (gosh I'm getting to that age where all my old mates are having babies!). It was really nice and took my mind off the incident last night.

              Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and support - you're a great bunch!

                  Hi Kimbers, only saw this thread now. As they say 'you can pick your friends, you can't pick your family' - my sisters made the last 3-4 years of my life hell and my Mums last years as well. Because I was drinking I blamed myself. Now I'm sober, I know they were just cows, to me and my Mum. Not saying your sister's a cow but don't let anyone drag you down

                    isn't it amazing when we have an AHA moment and can take the time to be thankful we are sober....
                    I am proud of you...AUnty Buse is a great thing isn;t it?? I take it...
                    give your sis some time and see what happens. If it is toxic...let it go. I had to do that with my sister....VERY long story
                    I love my family more than alcohol.:h
