When I got married, she was horrible. They felt sorry for her, because I was getting married and she wasn't, so they excused her constant sniping at me.
I asked her what the heck was going on, why she was always so mad at me, and she said, quite snippy, "I...just...don't....like...you."
Yet, my family says we don't get along. Go figure. I just avoid her now. There is no pleasing her, and anything I do is wrong.
You just described the woman fomerly known as my other sister. They're either afraid of conflict, ignore it, want to keep the peace or dismiss it as a personality clash. This just emboldens her to continue causing trouble; she doesn't know consequence. I've cut her out completely.

Sorry you have such a strained relationship with your sister.
We have never been strained before. She really was my best friend all my life. I think she is the most amazing human being, pure of heart. I know why she does this, she has just never doubted me before. I was floored. I'm sure we'll get past it, she's already apologized. I told her she needs to examine why she does this and fix it so she doesn't alienate anyone else. I trust that she will do it. She's a good girl.
There are people that play so many psychological games. They don't do straight forward, so they automatically assume no one else does either.
It's a shame when their family though. Don't get sucked into the drama, to much stress.

Yes, you get tired of being the brunt of their abuse.
