[quote=Anonymous]I have a love/hate relationship with my sister. She was mean-spirited, selfish, and vindicative when we were kids, and 30+ years later, not much has changed. I cut her off months ago because I got fed up with her toxicity and didn't want it arouind my two DDs. She is not allowed around my kids at all, and I don't miss her.

Here's the problem... our parents. Despite repeated warnings from me, they've been inserting themselves into our fights for years -- since we've become adults. They refuse to acknowledge that sister has deep-seated issues, for which she needs serious help. They are completely oblivious to her nastiness, even though she's instigated a ton of conflict in our family and have bled them dry for what little money they had. My parents have been incredibly short-sighted about the long-standing issues between my sister and me. They want us to get along, regardless of the cost to my sanity. I think it's sad that they allow her to use them too, but I don't involve myself in that. I just want to have a relationship with my parents separate from sister. Unfortunately, my parents are now angry at me for my decision. I'm not sure what to do. Any advice, DCUM?[/quote]
