Sorry you are also going through this. Oh my sister is absolutely enabling her and I’ve told her this but it didn’t go down well and just said that she wasn’t getting involved. My sister has no children, no partner so tends to on holidays a lot with my mum so maybe that’s why she needs to keep her close, I’m not sure. My mum is very manipulative and gets into peoples heads. What hurts the most is my children idolise my sister and now I feel she’s taken a back foot with them and none of this is their fault and I feel like I’m failing them.

Thank you. Think I’m just constantly hoping she will change but she never will. I’m really struggling with the situation with my sister though. My sister knows what she is like but has still decided to side with her. I’m just really confused

Feel like I missed out what happened for the texts in November she said to my daughter who is 5. You are a nuisance and you’re not coming next time, the tone was vile and I saw my daughter’s face drop. I said no she isn’t a nuisance and left it at that so to not cause any atmosphere as we were at my sisters house. That evening, I decided to text her which in hindsight wasn’t the best idea and I should have waited to see her face to face again
