My sister’s behaviour has got so toxic (and to some degree disturbing) that I have begun to feel that cutting her out of our lives is the only option. I don’t want to go too much into what she’s been doing, as she stalks me online among other things (I’ve set up a new username here for this post). I have of course talked to her, but she will turn it round on me, say I’m imagining things, she’s done nothing wrong etc.. and she won’t accept any responsibility for her behaviour.
My main issue is my children. They are 6 and 9 and my sister’s children are 2 and 5. Obviously if I cut her out, I also cut her children out and I don’t feel like I can take my children’s cousins away from them. My 9 year old especially, would be absolutely devastated. I can’t see a solution to this. She’s never without the children – she wouldn’t for example leave them at my mother’s house, so seeing them there may not be an option and I’m not sure I want my kids alone around her after her latest stunt. I’m wondering if anyone’s gone through similar and how they handled it?
