Could be, she seems to think that I get everything I want and she doesn't which isn't true.

Could she be jealous of extra attention you might get because of your disability? I have a middle sister that was kind of like yours. I’m the oldest. I get along with the middle one sort of now but it’s taken 30 years. I’ve always gotten along with my baby sister. I’m the only blind one in the family. Just a thought.
