This has become my approach with my domineering sister. She demands to be the boss of every situation, and I have ceded her the stage. I have removed myself from her stage. When I see her, I'm polite, I smile, I respond to her with simple, limited responses and politely decline invitations. I no longer share details of my life and household. Her lectures, yelling and judgement have no place anymore in my life. She is no longer in my inner circle. The peace that has flowed from that quiet decision has been a great blessing. I feel like I reclaimed myself.
