Re: My sister... again... trapped: If only we could choose some of our family members.
BUt , alas, we cant. :-\
Just gotta keep doing the best you can with her. Sounds like a handful, thats for sure!
Grrrrr. Argh.
Re: My sister... again... yella: I said that one thing because she needed to hear it. And besides, she's the first one to step in and try to "punish" my kids when I'm standing right there. Someone had to stand up for this girl, and everyone is afraid to do it.
The poor girl was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe or talk. Someone had to say something.
I'm sorry to say it, but she's not the good mom she thinks she is. She favors her other 2 kids because they are the kids of her playa boyfriend. So, instantly C gets pushed off to the side. It's sick, really.
My hands are tied with this whole thing, and I'm losing patience.
There are even times where my sister will start fights with the people in her apartment complex, and even a time when she was taken to court, but she always finds a way to make herself a victim. I just don't get it, and it pisses me off!
I think there is something seriously wrong with her, and I know she's bipolar, but she'll never admit it, and never get help. Makes me sick.
Thanks for letting me get this out. Better here than at the house. One of these days though, I'm not going to have that self control.

Believe me I can relate. I have some pretty serious issues with how my ex handles our children. I've just learned that me voicing those concerns is akin to setting off the apocalypse. I try to apply pressure indirectly by getting her mother or father to voice these concerns.
Re: My sister... again... yella: Ah! I tried to go down that road, but my parents are scared to death to confront her. I don't know why other than the fact that my sister can manipulate them like a chess game. She's got them right where she wants them.
I mean, my sister can rip my mother from top to bottom, and somehow, my mother is the one who calls her to apologize! WTF?!
Me... I won't apologize to her for anything... EVER! I'm the only person on this planet who can see past her and isn't afraid to confront her. I have nothing to lose for pissing her off because I simply don't care anymore.
Never talking to her is no skin off my back. I think a whole lot clearer now. I don't need her, so I don't care if she gets pissed. Someone has got to stand up to her.
Re: My sister... again... alonewith2: My brother has a daughter with his first wife. They divorced and he married his current wife. They have two children together, and the situation is the same. My brother and his wife favor their two children over my brother's daughter from his first marriage. It's not pretty to watch and we've done what we could. We had her come stay with us one summer and we tried to get my brother to let her come back every summer since then, but he caught on to what we were doing or at least WHY we were doing it...
I have no advice how to handle that situation. I just wanted to say that I know how it feels to sit and watch and not be able to do anything about it.
