[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to say something that you probably don't want to hear but how did you fail your sister then and now?  I'm asking because at times I consider whether to cut off my sister who is still speaking to our shitty mother even though my mother is ignoring me and her only grandchild.  It feels like my sister has chosen sides and I wasn't it.  I'm sure your sister feels some of that pain.  If you had said mom I'm not talking to your either until you and your fake preaching self apologize then your sister would be talking to you now IMO.   [/quote]

OP here.  I've already agreed with my sister that my mom is a narcissist and was a crappy mom.  The difference between me and my sister is that my sister seems to think my mom is pure evil and I see her as a really flawed human with a painful childhood of her own.  I do NOT have a close relationship with my mom at all but I don't see a need to stop talking to her.  And I've already yelled at my mom multiple times about apologizing to my sister.  My mom will either do that genuinely or not.  My threatening to stop talking to her is not going to make her apologize.

If my mother was actively doing something like your situation PP -- ignoring you and your child -- I might consider taking a more categorical stance.  But my sister is pissed about the past and my mom has said she's sorry, just not in a truly self-aware way that shows she really gets what she did wrong.  I don't think my piling on my mom would be constructive.

Also, as an aside, if the issue really is that she's pissed I still talk to my mom (though rarely) then why does my sis speak to my father???  He's still married to my crazy mom...[/quote]
