Prepared to be told I am being irrational. Regular poster but NC for obvious reasons, as not to connect to any other posts.
I am apprehensive of/fear my own sister. She’s bullied me in the past and continues to be derisive and passive aggressive at any opportunity. She is the sort who has an issue with everyone else; does not take accountability for her own behaviour and feels like the victim very easily. I don’t know if it’s mental health issues or what- I suppose that’s irrelevant in the main.
We are planning our wedding and I am anxious that she will make things uncomfortable. She has always been very skilled and clever socially, and can read people very well. This can be a great intuitive trait but she unfortunately uses it to manipulative and confuse.
I have a couple of relatives who see through it but I am a bit on edge to be honest… she also makes it OVERLY clear that she hates DP & has never let him hold/near my niece who we’ve only met a few times in a couple of years. It’s not personal to him and she’s the same with SIL and my cousin, and sometimes me depending on what mood takes her!
I do have to have her there, it will look bizarre to family if not and I wish it was just as easy to not but it would cause more problems. I just need some tactics to implement if things do go south.
