Sounds silly but.....
Always had what I thought was a close family. 2 sisters and a brother. All different but thatโ€™s what made us tick. Mum and Dad always loving and supportive no matter what we threw at them. And believe me..over the years they had lots to deal with.
Iโ€™m the eldest and my brother is the youngest. Heโ€™s just got married. She seems ok and weโ€™ve all gone out to try and make her as welcome as possible. Since the wedding, SIL has decided we are all awful people. Negative, horrible people. She openly slagged my mum off to me and said how โ€˜everyoneโ€™ thought she was negative. Obviously I was devastated. Iโ€™m
Close to my mum and this cut through me!! I asked sil why she suddenly thought this. Turns out my youngest sister has turned everyone away from my mum!! Sheโ€™s slowly been dissecting her personality and allowing others to believe that my mum is nothing but an awful person!!!!! Yet continuing to pretend all is fine!! In 4 months my family has been torn apart!! Not only did my sil tell me this.....she faced my mum and told her!!!!!!!! Iโ€™ve now got my mum in a terrible state. Sheโ€™s the kindest person you could meet. Would help anyone. And is in a mess!!
How do I deal with thiS?

Contact your sister and ask her why she's said such things?

Go from there.

Why donโ€™t you speak to your sister? Ask her why she feels this way

You obviously need to find out why its being done/said. Do bear in mind though that in lots of cases mothers are absolutely the kindest sweetest person to one person and nasty vile people to others. You may not be aware of any behaviour other than that which you personally see.

In my own family to everyone (including my siblings) my mother is kind, caring, loving and would do anything for anyone and not hurt a fly. Yet I stumbled across her with her 'toy-boy' she had been having an affair with. She then treated me appallingly from then on, threatening me that there would be consequences if I told anyone what Id seen and I would be responsible for tearing the family apart if I mentioned it. To this day my siblings are unaware of anything. To me my mother is nasty and selfish. To everyone else shes such a kind caring and loving person.

Are you sure that your sister said this - do you have proof. It could be your SIL
