My sister flirted with a man in my mums tiny village 250 miles away from where she lives with her children. She left her husband and now has the kids week on week off. On her weeks off she drives a 500mile round trip to see this man. This is a tiny village and my mum knows everyone. There is one pub. My sister has lied about when the relashionship started.
my mum had recently been diagnosed and was having treatment for breast cancer at the time and was obviously feeling vulnerable. She felt deeply uncomfortable about the whole thing, she feels uncomfortable going in the tiny local village pub as my sister turns up whenever she wants with this new man. This man also knew she was married with two children which also adds to my mother’s uncomfortable feeling.
my sister has fallen out with my mum and myself because we think the whole thing is just odd.
this man also never visits my sisters place because of his job so it is her who drives the 500 mile round trip to see him every other week.
she has told everyone in the village who will listen that my mum is judgemental and unreasonable. She can be very charming and manipulative and so now my mum is also paranoid that everyone in her tiny village is against her.
i feel like i’m slightly losing my grip on sanity.
Is my sister being selfish or is my mum over sensitive?
help!
