Dear Alexandra:

Yes, it does make sense that you stop trying “to make her know she is being listened to etc.”- she doesn’t need more attention from her submissive sister. She had that for many years. She doesn’t lack your listening ear.

In context of the relationship with you, she has the need, I suppose, to continue to dominate you, to look down at you, to pronounce you wrong. Time for you to no longer satisfy this need of hers. It doesn’t do good for her either, by the way.

Time to not submit. This does make a lot of sense to me.
