This is a reply from the OP

miss_crayon - thank you for your input, it sounds like you can really relate to my situation. I'm finding it hard to deal with because she is family... but I think at this point I'm not sure if it salvagable. She acts very selfish and i dont think she understands her actions can affect other people. I guess my parents never taught her about shame, and face... she does what she wants, when she wants without really considering anyone else...

SumAznGuy - Well when she was younger she would look up to me, and want my advice, but as soon as she went out with one guy its like she did a 180 and did whatever she wanted. Since then i have taken a step back, but i speak up when her and her partner start to disrespect or negatively affect my family. this has only caused more distance.

Overall, she probably does see me more as a parent now, and why should she listen to me right? But ever since i was younger i was always willing to listen to her and not judge or criticize, but when she started to be disrespectful and selfish, i wouldn't just sit back and let her act like that
