I think my oldest sister E. might be a psychopath. Psychotic was how I would describe her when discussing her with other people but I never thought seriously that she could be a psychopath until I took a psychology 101 class and read about anti-social personality disorders.
She is like a spider. Waiting in the coner of the room for the right moment to attack. Spinning a sticky web around herself-getting "friends" and family caught into it and then sucking the life out of them to get bigger.
She always showed a lack of empathy. Never apologetic. Never remorseful or showed guilt. Never accepts blame. Coldly uses people for her own advantage. A social climber. She climbed her way into a sucessful career as an illustrator and art professor. Growing up we saw her true dark side at home. But when ever she was around friends etc. She was a "goodie two shoes". She seem overly fake to me but her friends always bought into it. People who know E. only know of her fake side. As a "little Miss perfect" or "goodie two shoes". I told one of her friends once about something she did to me and he said "I just can't picture E. doing something like that." This is what really scares me-how people can't see through the front she puts on. And it's only that-just a front. If I told her friends she was a fraud I doubt they would believe me. Her friends seem to be very devoted,blind and loyal. Which is also pretty scary.In a way, I guess you could say she is like a cult leader. She is charming and controls people around her. They see,hear and believe what she wants them to see. I used to sarcastically call our family the cult of E. because everyone in our family is controlled by her, even I was and it took me a long time to break away.
In the past few years she seems to be getting creepier. I think she feels invincible now.
A couple of years ago. She suggested/volunteered to help our grandfather out when our granmother was dying. We are not close to the grandparents on our father's side which makes it kind of strange that she would take 2 weeks off fly to texas from new york to help our distant grandparents, just like that. She was there for 1 or 2 weeks, by our grandmothers bed side as she slowly passed away. Afterwards, she stopped by our brother's house. My brother said that when she stopped by afterwards and was making fun of our grandmother urinating on herself while she was slowly dying.
This is an example of what I mean by she doesn't show empathy (unless it's fake) and how she is two-faced. From an outsider she probably looks like such a goodie two shoes.
I have to go right now. I will put up more reasons why I think she could be a Psycho.

Dear Treesia,
I am sorry you have to come to the conclusion your sister might be a P. It is painful to see someone who you are related to in that light. It is not like they will not be in your life anymore. I have a son who is a P. and it causes me to feel a lot of shame. I have even sought professional help to determine if I am a P. I was told no. I would definitely guard yourself against your sister injuring you. That is the only good thing about knowing, you can at least have your eyes open to the damage that could be done. Take care and I will look forward to seeing more posts from you.

Thanks for your reply. I think she may have been planning to hurt me the very last time I visited her 2 years ago. Since I stopped talking to her and avoid being anywhere around her because I don't want to put myself at risk. She is really slick and wicked. I don't think there is anything I can do except stay away from her. If she goes to a family event, I don't go. It's like that. Everyone in my family has distance themselves from her because of her ways.
