I'm expecting my first baby, and really want them to be born into a loving family. However, I am very worried about my relationship with my mother and younger sister. My sister lives 8 hours away and whenever she comes to visit she and my mother constantly get into heated arguments, and she calls me hysterical asking to pick her up. This got so bad that one day 2 years ago during an argument my mother slapped my sister while she was holding her newborn baby. My sister forgave her and now my mom acts like it never happened and they continue to always argue when they see each other. My mother has a history of severe verbal abuse against my sister and I growing up. My sister was also molested by a family member growing up and told my mom about it and she did nothing. My mom now denies my sister ever said anything, or that she was ever verbally abusive. My sister admitted to me that she hates my mother and carries around intense rage/anger. My sister is very emotionally unstable and calls me when she is feeling suicidal at times. I would like protect my child from this situation and don't know what to do. Please help. Is there anyway this family dynamic can be healed? Or do I just need to walk away?[/quote]
