Hi jasmnsjns, it can be horrid when siblings are mean especially when they're part of your inner family circle, both of my older siblings were always digging at me and it wasn't until I got older and grew a voice that I was able to realise two major things, the first was how to tell them straight exactly how their constant jibbing made me feel and one of them was genuinely upset as had not realised that what they saw as teasing was being so hurtful and the second is that people words in general can only hurt you if you allow them to, what I mean is only if you give them your energy and power can they hurt you! If you choose to not accept their attitude then you along control your emotions not them. Hopefully given time you relationships will improve. 🌻

I understand your struggle. My older sister (2 years older) is very toxic and degrading towards me. My therapist has described her as emotionally abusive towards me. Some things she says I can get over easily—for example, she recently told me to “go to hell”. Other things, like her telling me that she “hates me” or “wants me to die” are harder to let go, because they target my insecurities of feeling like everyone hates me and that I should kill myself. What helps me the most is talking about it—with my therapist, best friend, or on this forum. Keeping your emotions pent up will only worsen the situation. Sometimes you can confront the sibling and ask them to stop, but in my case, that only encourages her.

Stop having any communication with them until they learn some RESPECT. I’m Lucky I have 9 siblings we are never disrespectful to each other like that. We have disagreements with each other, it never gets out of Control.
