I was out with a friend yesterday and asked for her thoughts on my experience with my sister. She sis she has a brother who acts the same way. Drama queen city. They are stuck in their drama. But actually they are addicted to the drama. If there is no drama in their world they create it. This provides them the attention they are seeking and craving for. It works the same as a drug, except it is a emotional high the get from creating chaos.
I was going to send the letter I wrote her, but then I realized that I don't have to justify my life to her or anybody else for that matter. I am thinking of sending this card I did find yesterday that really suits her behavior. The picture on the cover is a dog drinking out of a toilet and it says" What to feel better soon?" open the card and it says " Drink plenty of fluids.
Inside I wrote," Is this where you get you potty mouth from? I thought I was the drama queen in the family, Not anymore...You win. " I'm tempted to send it. But I will see what my family says first. My little brother texted me yesterday to tell me that he also got a rip ravin mad phone call from her too. Because she knows I speak to my little brother and probably thought I was for sure going to call him and tell him everything that happened. The joke is on her this time. I use to do that before, but now I know that reacting to an experience like this is not constructive.
So yes I do love my sister, because she is teaching me to be kinder and more loving. Also how to set boundaries with verbally abusing drama creating people. I will ask my family to not respond to her phone calls for awhile until the dust settles. If she does call, respond with a thank you card and in it just put, thanks for the call, have a great day. I will wait a few weeks before I send my card to her, no use sending it now, because it will just add fuel to the fire. Then she will call someone in the family, to which no one will respond to her call, eventually it will come to a point where she will figure out that it is no use calling anybody over a card, and shift her perception.
