My DSD and my half sister are both in the same year group. Both are being accused of bullying each other and my mum and DP have had to go into school several times.
A group of my sisters friends had been making fun of DSD on and off for months, my sister never joined in and occasionally asked them to stop but mostly did nothing or laughed while it was happening. DSD then told everybody something she really shouldn’t have about my sister, this gave DSD’s friends something to make fun of my sister for. This has continued everyday for weeks, I think it’s mostly encouraged by both of their friends but there has been lots of really nasty comments between both of them.
I think they are as bad as each other, I love them both and don’t want either of them to be upset. My mum thinks it’s mainly DSD’s fault and my DP thinks it’s mainly my sisters fault so I’m completely in the middle.
At them moment I have sort of been taking DSD’s side by focusing on supporting her and left my mum to deal with my sister. This has meant I’ve not been seeing my sister as much as I would before, I would normally often help my mum out by looking after my siblings and also take my sister out regularly just to spend time together. Obviously my mum and sister are both hurt by this.
Am I doing the right thing?
