My sister always seems so much in control. Always arguing with me and winning every argument against me simply because I don't like confrontations. I even attribute my passive, shy and low self-esteem to my sister's (and my mother's) manipulative, controlling and argumentitive personalities. My mother and my sister are extremely bright people, they can tell you are lying long before you finish speaking.
I just got a phone call from my sister's school today. The school councillor wanted to talk to my parents but unfortunately both were at work so he talked to me instead. He told me that there is strong evidence (reports from teachers and classmates) showing that my sister wishes to hurt herself. He has talked to her himself about this issue and of course she denied it completely. He even showed me a letter in my sister's handwriting asking her friends for permission to "let her go".
I can't believe it. I don't know how to raise this issue with my parents. They have enough stress in their lives, particularly my mother because of her diabetes (and old age). It's almost like my sister has multiple personalities. Almost like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She always seems so sure of herself, so quick to point out how wrong you are, unafraid of confrontation, yet I am being told that she wants to hurt herself (and has hurt herself in the past, for example, banging her head hard against a brick wall).
