The Saddest Sibling Rivalry of All Time...

The Saddest Sibling Rivalry of All Time...

[thisguy]

The fact she was the last to know shows they knew it was wrong and wanted to “hide” it in some twisted sense

[janetteestevez]

Many don't cut their toxic family because "blood is thicker than water". The full quote is "The blood of the coven is thicker than the water of the womb". Meaning the relationships you create for yourself can be stronger than family relationships.

[chandeeharper]

This is pure evil with the sole intention of causing her sister pain. "Daphne just took her first steps! Daphne said mama! Daphne’s first day of school!" The fact that this is a nickname only and not the name that she gave her child coupled with the secretive way in which she pre planned to exclude the one person that would be most affected. Vile. I know they’d never see my face again.

The parents let this rivalry go on for years and never stopped it. Sometimes you have to be the bigger person and just cut it off. It is ok to cut family members off peace of mind is more important to me.

[fatearamines]

That's evil. And the parents are wrong, because they are also insensitive. And sided with the other daughter and are basically telling her to get over it. Just because her baby isn't here doesn't mean the name doesn't belong to her. That could cause pain. Memories of losing a baby. That's so mean. Backbiter.

Yes, I'll disown my family. Cause if they did this they'll do something else. So, I will cut you off. I too, am a cut off person. I've cut off some family.

The saying is “The blood of the Covenant is thicker than the water of the womb!” Meaning the bonds you make with people (or the family you make) is stronger than the family you are born in! When a family shows you a constant and consistent pattern of toxicity, believe their character and cut them off and don’t entertain them

[brendaolds]

I have cute my three older siblings out of my life . It wasn't over sibling rivalry or anything like that. It's a long story that I won't go into but it was something I had to do for my own piece of mind . It's not something that anyone really wants to do but sometimes you have to find some peace & happiness in your own life. I feel so bad for her having to go through that toxic situation for so long.

She could have told her that she was calling her Daphne as a honor to her dead niece

[anetrabullard]

A. Sis would have been uninvited to my wedding if she acted like w that jealous crap.
B. Her being happy after I lost one of my twins, I'd kick her ass and she wouldn't be welcome.
C. It's going to be confusing for the child that survived as to why his cousin has the same name as his deceased sister. Hell naw!

[michelleosborne]

My younger sister is THAT toxic. Our entire 50+ years. Every breath I have ever had in my body, she is jealous of. She got pregnant... and started in with "Oh good.. now everybody will treat me like they always have Michelle! At the time.. I was married and living 2000 miles away and had been for years. They came to visit once ( and she HATED my husband).. and she started bawling her eyes out in Kmart because "why can't I have a husband and a new car?" The car was 2 years old. When our mom died I mentioned how earlier in the summer Mom and I had been in the hospital at the same time in different states and she blurts out oral diarrhea... " Ya... too bad you both couldn't have died at the same time. It drove her absolutely livid that Mom chose me to be executor. Me. The oldest child. The person who made sure mom did her final wishes trying to avoid the hell I was going to have to deal with coming from my sister. I sought therapy- because all I have ever done is try to do right, and I feel horrid guilt that I need to cut her off. Therapist' reaction? If you have an infection....and its gonna kill you... are you going to take the Meds and get it out of your body? are you going to feel guilty for not letting it kill you? As much as I love her, as my sister, she is poison to me. I always said I was gonna write a book about this....

[yuraraina]

Cut off toxic people even if it's family. Less stress on you.

[GreenGeeky]

Oh we all gotta throw hands. Period
You're not honoring my dead child by giving your kid the nickname of my dead kid

[madelinex]

I’d of been pissed lol. Of all the names out there, you going to pick my babies name that passed away? Nope. I’d be gone.

[awandalewis]

This is so sad her sister did this to make her mad so disrespectful I had a daughter who passed in 1988 her name was Ashley so when my oldest daughter had her baby she ask could she name her daughter after her sister Ashley I agreed praying for this family 🙏🏽❤️

[anetrabullard]

And some point in Time we all have to realize who's toxic in our lives and we get to a point of cutting people, even blood, out of our lives.

[loki]

The actual quote is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" by the way.
It means that the exact opposite of the way people use it.

[pammeeker]

Sometimes a sibling is pure evil and toxic and after it years, you know it’s time to save yourself and your own little family! My experience with my toxic narcissistic sister! It hurts but for me it was survival!

[devodootie]

Yes. I’ve been at that particular point w/family. I had to decide to step away from them permanently to insulate myself & protect my own family. Cut your losses, build your own family.

[kristenkeitzer]

There are lines that shouldn't be crossed. I think you have to protect yourself from some people, I think this was so hurtful. Blood doesn't matter too much to me. My mother climbed out a window and abandoned me as an infant...my grandma stepped right in and raised me. Love is what matters...the people who love you are the ones that count. This family didn't care at all about how much emotional damage this caused and basically were telling her to get over herself. Her grief for her dead child wasn't important to them. I really appreciate you guys and how you look at tough issues and approach them with honesty and humor...keeps me coming back! =)

[kristinemcummins]

I woulda said good bye and end of story. That "sister" crossed the line.
