I have been stuggling with a sister who is 6.5 yrs. my junior. She has patterns of severe attention getting and is promiscuous with anyone who compliments her, including married men, (while she is in exclusive relationships), and men who pay attention to me are the target of her interest even if I have none.. She asks me to console her when she gets paranoid, but I can't anymore. She also bites my head off when I point out logical ways to look at life.
Now I am 35, trying to get pregnant. I confronted my resent for her, and I overreacted when she denied everything and blamed me. I wonder if she is histrionic. Her infrequent therapist sees histrionic tendencies. I hurt her in my effort to create boundaries and now she refuses to talk to me. How can I cope and move on without her? I can't put her feelings before mine anymore.

My sister is exactly the same. SHE NEEDS THE ATTENTION!
I guess it's hard to accept them because it's hard to see it as a problem...sometimes you have a tendency to believe that their actions are all intentional. But they aren't. I actually pity her all I see is an insecure little girl (she's 7 years younger than me). I love her but , like your sister will also go for the men that seem to show some interest in me. I just let it slide now. Trust me people see the
abnormality in their behavior.
As a result of that (we are 3 sisters) my youngest sister (9 year diff w/me) doesn't trust her around her boyfriend. I just let it go now. She needs help... she also sees infrequently a therapist...
Don't stress yourself, think about yourself and your value as a human being i total control of your own mind.
Hopes this helps
