Dear New Member~
A warm welcome to the Forum. I'm sorry your sisters are taking it out of you over money. As you could not go to the bank there is no reason to blame yourself and they are simply being unpleasant for the sake of it.
While you did not say why your sister wanted to borrow the money I'm assuming it was not something that was absolutely essential for her, such as an operation.
So you really were under no obligation anyway. Only treated well when they want something is not a reflection on you, it is a reflection on them, and does not show any trace of the love one would hope for.
You called yourself the black sheep, which sort of implied that you have not got on well with your family in the past. I would suspect this may be due to their having similar attitudes in the past, sometimes being regarded as a black sheep is a compliment though it is a sad feeling.
Nevertheless dealing with this by yourself is hard, is there anyone in your life, family member or friend perhaps, who is on your side and listens and cares?
