My Holier-Than-Thou Sister and Mother
On the verge of a breakdown, I cried out, "She almost killed me, Mom! She took all my money and ran off with the guy who sexually assaulted her! But even after all that, you still think I'm to blame for everything?"
Mom snapped back impatiently, "Don't make it sound so bad. It's not like you have that much money anyway. Besides, you're the older sister. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for you to give your younger sister some money?
"Since you're perfectly fine now, stop being so petty. Amy is so much more mature than you. She knows what she's doing, so stop talking about it in such a terrible way—all that nonsense about assault."
I lost all hope then. I no longer expected anything from Mom.
