Sister is jealous of me

    I am having a terrible time dealing with my sister who made it painfully clear she's seething in resentment over my achievements.

    Ever since I lost weight two years ago, my sister has been jealous of me. Its not just losing weight. I make things happen for myself. If I am not happy with an aspect of my life, i change it. She has also been jealous of me passing my driving test too and just getting on with my life. I don't dwell on the negatives in my life. My sister does.

    The jealousy has always been there but it has gotten worse since I lost weight two years ago. I mean she will turn on me and use any excuse at all to call me evil and vile. If she fails, its my fault. If I can't help out, its my fault. If she's late, its my fault. She thinks if I can't do something for her, I'm not doing it because I don't want her to, i want her to fail. Everything seems to be my fault.

    She seems to fly of the wall at the slighest little thing every 3/4 weeks (is this pms?) and blames me. She says I am just out to get her down. This is not the case. I want to be happy for her but it is so hard when you are being called spiteful and vile whenever she does something.

    Why can't she realise its her life and just get on with it instead of blaming me for everything that goes wrong in her life?

    She always thought she could do or say anything, no matter how hurtful. Please help me, she knows how i feel about it all. I haven't spoken to her since may and she hasn't even apologised for her behaviour. She just always expected me to be at the receiving end. I gave up in may. I don't think she wants anything to do with me. What should i do? Is there anything I can do?

    I walk away and leave her to it. I guess that's a problem in itself. Am I giving her a reason to keep at it by not standing up for myself?
