Lisa I am happy for you. I have a sister who is so very rude, condesending, overpowering, etc. Thankfully I live about 1700 miles away from her. When I called to wish her a happy birhtday all she did was complain about how busy she is and how frustrated she is with her children and that she hs LOTS of paperwork. First of all she does not work, second of all she should be happy she has children as I can not have any. Also she always says to me"must be nice to go biking and hiking, I have to ...." insert what ever she thinks she needs to do. I guess a few weeks ago there was a big wind storm near her and my parents house so she had to help do a little clean up, it actually was probably her husband that did the work and her bossing him around. She always tries to make me feel guilty. When I was back visiting them she introduced me to one of her friends and her friend said " I didn't know you had a sister". Same thing happed when I visited my "snow bird" parents in Florida. The introduced me to some of their friends and they said " we thought you only had 1 daughter and a son" My moms response to that was "this is our best kept secret" Best kept secret my Butt...... So Lisa, I hope I can find the strenght that you have..
