[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need to make an official declaration? Why do you need to get your mother involved? You're better off keeping her at a distance and giving generic non-committal responses to her attempts to contact you. Don't engage.[/quote]
Unless you want the drama and want to make absolutely clear to your sister you are cutting off your relationship with her, I think holding her at arms length, and see and communicate with her only when you are seeing your mother, especially since you say you don't want to damage your relationship with Mom. By making a clear, unequivocal statement that you are cutting off your sister, you are forcing your Mom to make a choice between her children. It is up to you if that is what you want to do, and only you know the level of toxicity in your relationship with sister. I'm a firm believer in clear statements and non engagement with toxic people. Tell her next time she calls that what she is doing is unacceptable, you are not going to engage with her on it, and leave it at that.[/quote]
