Sibling bullying

Postby ButterflyCoaster » Fri Aug 04, 2023 3:11 pm

I am being harassed by a sibling. I wrote this in March. It was a request for help but I got no replies.

ButterflyCoaster wrote:I was experiencing harassment since 2015. It came from the fallout of a sibling. I had a row with her in 2014 but it wasn't planned. It was just something that happened from a period of work related stress. She was passive aggressive after that. She was ignorant and intimating. I did try and open a dialogue with her but she ignored me. A few weeks after that there was a time when she came to me and said - 'this is stupid' and I agreed with her but it wasn't a good time at that time because it was late at night and I was tired after my day. She took that as me dismissing her. I wasn't dismissing her. I was generally tired. She's been nuclear since then.

There has been many acts of revenge and hate in her harassment. I haven't seen her since 2016 but she won't leave me alone. One of her many thousands of messages was 'YOU ARE DEAD TO ME'. Many of her messages are sprinkled with hate and abuse and demands and unwritten threats.
She wants me to focus on all of the old rows and not only that explain myself. I went into that place before but she greeted it with vulgar messages and then that was it from me. No more. She reminds me of shylock from the merchant of Venice who's looking for a pound of flesh. That's what she is. She's not in control of her own emotions and she's lashing out and she wants me to pay, over and over.

She managed to twist so many things too. She carried out a horrible revenge campaign and any sort of response or retaliation is twisted and used against you. Although it's been years since I contacted her.

There was a family funeral in 2016 and she came home for that and we were on good terms together during that time but within a matter of weeks she snapped and started all the old trash again. Her messages are abusive and filled with hate and anger and hostility.

The police won't help me because she's family and she's not threatening violence. They say its civil. Civil law is falling short and the only option open to me is an injunction and I was quoted thousands of money and I don't have the means for an injunction.

So she continues to this day. She is on and off. About every 2 or 3 months.
I took steps in blocking her by changing numbers but she still continues by other means - fake profiles and the smear campaign. She loves the smearing.

The harassment has been going on since 2015 and she's still the same. Ignoring her hasn't worked. If anything, it angers her and fuels her but engaging with her is impossible. I remember another time engaging with her and she twisted everything and turned everything around into circles and vulgar talk and I had to pull away and stop. I realised that I can't fix this.

I realise now, after all the intense hate she's evil.


It's clear to me that she doesn't want a friendship. She has no respect for me. All she wants is for me to engage with her in the hope it fixes her feelings and she becomes happy. She wants to humiliate me. It's bullying. I could easily turn around and be the same and demand her to give me answers but I never did that.

I need to get help because she continues to this day.

I am sorry to hear about the bullying. Your sibling harassment is mean. It sounds like you did try to stop the bullying. Is there family members you can contact for help?

Perhaps you didn't get any replies the first time because it's quite difficult to figure out what's happened between you. The original post contains a lot of vague descriptors, like harassment and bullying, without specifics. However, that may be because you don't want to reveal that information, which is perfectly okay.

I will focus on a few things that stand out. You say she's evil, she twists and manipulates the narrative to suit her, she smears you, humilaiting you is a means of obtaining a state of happiness for her, and that ignoring her makes her angry. This description could fit a narcissist if you are one of the people giving her narcissistic supply?

If so, the only way to deal with a narcissist is to go "no contact", which you're already doing. Unfortunately, you'll have to take the smear campaigns on the chin and not let them get you. If this is all happening on social media, perhaps consider deleting your account(s)? It's better for your mental health to step away and remove her from your life.

Sorry I can't offer more in terms of practical advice, but good luck.
