Older sister-younger brother... Ugh

Ever since I was little my older sister has been the only bully in my life. She calls me a brat, jerk, and an idiot which are names that should be applied to describe her. Sometimes when she makes me mad my sister even makes obnoxious sounds or whispers mean names in my ear to provoke me. My sister chases me and beats me up when I try to prove a point while she fights. My sister has no respect for my mom or me the only time she can be controlled is when my dad is around. My younger brother tries to fly under the radar

and does well doing it.

 

When my brother becomes a problem is when my sister bribes him onto her side in fights or games using candy when we were little and now money that she has a job. It makes me so mad because I feel like my brother has betrayed me for money or candy because he knows how my sister treats me.

 

I'm 100% sure my sister and I don't have that love hate sister relationship I'm sure it's worse. She can bring my whole family to tears or rage with her hateful words and she is always pointing out the faults in everyone in my family and I am her favorite victim. I am never mean any harm to her and try to avoid her when she is mad but my sister just loves to annoy me. Although my sister makes great friends and is only mean when she is around one. Everyone sees to love her including her boyfriend.

 

What I would like to know is how to avoid hating my sister for the rest of my life like some other people on this site. Also is there anyway to stop the fighting because I can't avoid it and my sister has never ever said sorry to me or anyone else or admitted she was wrong that I know of.

Giving us the ages of all involved would help.

 

"Avoiding your sister your whole life?" May not be necessary...

 

I was also bullied by older sisters and can attest that - in my case - they grew out of it.

 

Again, tell us how old all of the principals involved are; if you are in your 40s, there probably isn't anything that can be done now.

My brothers and I are all irish twins (meaning one year apart), and I'm the oldest, my sister is 8 years younger than me and is the baby. She can be that way towards my brothers. She used to be that way towards me but I ignored it, mostly because I'm a grown adult and she is a teenager, but also because I don't like getting in the mud with pigs. However, I do have to hold my tongue sometimes because when she insults me weight or the fact that I've been in college for 7 years, I generally used to make a remarks about her dressing, looking and acting like a lesbian. I'm older now and don't even respond... if I do it's something like "some one's being crabby" or "got their panties in a bunch"... I would say confront her, and if she continues just ignore it. You can't hit women, and skinking to her level will only make you look bad. My brother, who is emotionally troubled, gets in to verbal fights with my sister all the time and he is always the instigator and bad guy in my father's eyes...
