She is a spoiled, greedy, ungrateful, bitchy, drama queen. She's two years older than I am. -Our dad paid half her rent for the last year. I paid her electric for the past two months since she was "so broke" since my dad is laying in a hospital bed unable to work or pay her bills let alone his. -She is playing the martyr roll very well. She ran out of dad's hospital room sobbing one day then came back just to sob at the foot of his bed, spiking his blood pressure to 170/80. -I found a receipt with her name on it from an expensive clothing store for 495 dollars from just a few months ago. -She asked my uncle for his debit card to buy dress pants for an interview. She bought a whole outfit for 150 dollars. -She goes tanning and gets her nails done. Yet asks our parents to pay her bills. And now me. -She's insulting and belittles you. She insluted me and then said it was so i could work on my personality. - I taught her how to use a coffee pot yesterday. A fucking coffee pot. She's 24. -I also taught her what a budget looks like because she found our dad's and didn't know what it was.
She wonders why I don't talk to her or want a relationship with her. Oh and she's bipolar and refuses to take any meds but anti anxiety.

Sorry hon, it's a huge pain in the ass to watch a sibling create all that kind of problems for your family, especially if they just keep letting her do it.

Honestly, and as much as I know you don't want to hear this, stop. Stop paying her bills, stop bailing her out. Everyone in this situation is enabling her and its only going to continue to get worse if you keep helping her.
Yes, I don't even have the money to pay my dog's vet bills but either I pay it or my mom would have. My mom's house is about to get foreclosed on since my dad can't pay half the mortgage and they haven't been able to sell it.
I need to really sit my mom down and we need to stop enabling. I know. It's hard to do it. And Im still in my home state because of my dad and dealing with his shit so I've been with her almost every waking hour. So to deal with her and my dad makes me want to claw my eyes out.

Oh L. Its all going to be okay, I just know it. But I'm glad you know that the enabling needs to stop. Its just going to end up with you being in more of a jam if you keep helping her.
