Did that with my sister too, and I have been so much happier. She was born lazy and had a relapse, but always finds time to campaign for liberal politicians (lives in Toronto) to make sure she continues to get other people's money. Has not worked since she was ~40, back and pain issues ( except at election time, and Christians recital) , took morphine For Years, but last time we talked she said she was "down to 8 percocets a day.". She's 70 now, if she is still alive . Sure she's gotten every jab possible.
My sister & I actually share a pretty similar worldview, but her entitlement mentality (hard worker, thinking that she's entitled to all family property - has inherited quite a lot from my side of the family plus her husband's side) became impossible for me to deal with. I'm a home health aide, & took in a friend who had become homeless due to his health issues. She was furious that I hadn't obtained her permission as at that time we were joint property owners. A pastor friend who used to be a very successful realtor acted as a mediator, & as we were finalizing things, made the observation that it would be healthy for she & I to take a break from our relationship...maybe for several weeks, months, years, perhaps permanently. That was such a blessed relief for me to hear, & I've managed to avoid virtually all contact with her since then. Several months ago she did spot me in a retail location that we both frequent, & I was civil, but I also made it clear that I am no longer her sister. Forgiveness is not forgetting, & when someone thinks they have the right to dictate your life, it's time to leave them in their grand delusions.
another sad family saga, but I will bet they are far more common than "the Waltons" families. Entitlement has been bred into Western society, and is the main cause in its rot
I believe. Unfortunately , the only solution is what is right around the corner, hard times.
