My sister is domineering like my mom

My sister lives in Brazil- I don't get to see her that much. As we've grown older, our relationship has improved despite the distance. Sometimes we talk on the phone like best friends- in our 'special code'; an outside listener would probably make us for crazy.

However, like my mom, my sister has a habit of lecturing, giving unasked-for advice, making truth-statements, and you-statements--- etc.

It is really unfortunate because I've come to the conclusion, the only way to deal with people who try to get you to see things their way or to do things their way- is to set limits to the interaction.

I've tried talking to her about it in the past- but domineering people simply do not understand that there is an empathic way to relate and communicate with others.

What do you guys think?

 

Are you talking about my mom and sister HAHAHA
