I concur with the others; blood ties don’t mean you need to forgive them. Family, ideally, should have your back, not be trying to score points off of you or make you feel bad about yourself.
Think about what you’d like to do for yourself here? If they don’t have your best interests at heart, you need to look after yourself first.

Thank you for your wise advice!

My closest age sister sometimes behaves like she's around 12 yrs. old still. I feel like her big sister most of the time we're together, not her little sister! Her competitiveness drives me up a wall! I guess I shouldn't worry too much about forgiving them for now. Later, maybe, but now I'll just concentrate on putting myself and my needs first !
