I feel for you I really do. Family is a hard one to deal with. I had a problem with my two half sisters. No matter what I did they would keep pulling their same shit with me. So I finally dropped them out of my life. I have not spoke with them for over 7 years. The best revenge is to not care, or something like that. If they are going to be at my parents house I won't go. They are 12 and 13 years older than me, and right now they are hating that I am ignoring them. But you know, this is my life and I am not going to put myself around people who hurt me and bring me down and that is what bully's do. It's not worth it to me. So I cut them out. I am sure your situation is different than this one. But sometimes just hearing other people are dealing with it helps.
The one I am currently in is not a family member and is a person I HAVE to deal with everyday, which is so damn frustrating. In all honesty, I like the person and it really just hurts me terribly to be treated this way, but I see no answer to making it better.
