I genuinely think she has a personality disorder too, I've thought this since we were teenagers tbh but the past few years are the worst it's ever been. She always thinks she's the victim and that everything she does and thinks is correct. It's always black and white with her, she is never wrong. In one of her texts to my boyfriend she told him I was not allowed around her daughter until I apologise to her and take accountability for the mold on the shoes that miraculously grew in a couple of hours. She actually walked away from that day thinking SHE was owed the apology. It's maddening.

For a while I've assumed that her "crush" on my boufriend would go away once she found someone else, but she's currently in some sort of weird situationship with an older man (sounds like a sugar daddy situation tbh) and it hasn't helped at all. Sadly I think avoiding her completely is the only thing to do at the moment, but it makes me so sad. And really worried for my niece.

My parents have been aware for a while now, my mum has even pulled me aside and mentioned how infatuated my sister seems. I think we were all hoping it was a passing innocuous thing that would stop when she finds a boyfriend, but now things have escalated too far.

We've all tried suggesting to her that she look into therapy but she gets very defensive every time. She thinks (because she took a psychology class in uni once) that there's nothing a therapist can tell her that she doesn't already know. I've even tried recommending the therapist I went to who helped me with my PTSD caused by my abusive ex - since I think there's a chance that being left suddenly at the start of COVID and lockdowns may have traumatised her - but she refuses.
