My mother is spreading malicious lies about my aunt (her sister) to anyone who is connected to my aunt. She is sending pages and pages of letters on a weekly basis, recording messages on WhatsApp to send as voice messages, sending long emails etc. These are going to people all over the world. She is getting hold of details of anyone who might know my aunt (eg her husband’s relatives) and sending these to them, as well as family on our side eg to me, my aunt’s children etc.
My mother does not have a job, hobbies or friends and seems to have dedicated the last few years of her life to this.
As an example, my mother is accusing my aunt of stealing money from an ill relative by charging them 3x as much for their shopping as it actually costs. My aunt has receipts and my mother is accusing her of faking them. My mother won’t help the ill relative herself either as they have fallen out.
Given that my aunt is being harassed by someone who lives in a different country to her, is there any way to make this stop?
My aunt is the kindest person I know and it upsets me to see her being treated like this, so I want to help. Me talking to my mother won’t help as in her eyes I am also a bad person. Anyone who disagrees with her gets cut off.
For background I am NC with my mother. My choice.
