I am desperate for help. My sister has been behaving strangely since the birth of her son last year. It all started with my dad and how she cut him off over a silly argument they had because he didn't call her to congratulate her on the pregnancy. I now feel sorry for him as she has now been treating the rest of our family the same. Twisting things that have been said and saying some really nasty and cruel things to me and my mum. My mum is heartbroken as she now can't see her grandson. My sister has always been quite a volatile character but this pregnancy seems to have turned her into a monster. We have not been nasty to her but she takes tiny things we say the wrong way and sees things that aren;t there. I tried to gently broach the topic of her emotions and possible pnd but she flew at me and has now blocked be and my mum on Facebook. She returns my mum's presents saying they aren't to her taste and not what she asked for. My Aunt sent her a card but my sister told her she is a great Aunt not just aunt, really petty things. My mum has tried to get in touch with her husband and in-laws but they ignore her messages and then go straight to my sister which then makes things worse as she attacks my mum for going behind her back.
I was just reading another post from a concerned sister and she described her behaviour the same. If my sister won't seek help or admit there is anything wrong with her what can be done? I have told my mum to give her space and maybe she will calm down? It has been 10 months since my sister gave birth. I have tried every approach possible with my sister but you'd be shocked at some of the things she has said. It feels like she is deliberately pushing us away and she always likes to play the victim.
My mum is going to cut her out of her will if things don't improve by the end of the year. i'd also be fine not having anything to do with my sister but it's the thought of never seeing my nephew that breaks my heart. I worry about him as she has become very controlling, she even admitted to me that her friends think she has a problem with control. Just wondering if anyone has any experience that is similar or knows how to deal with this personality type? I am starting to think she has a personality disorder.
