[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD suffers from anxiety. It's pretty severe. My sister concocted a plan for DD to move in with her a few thousand miles away, thinking that she'd be a better role model and provide a more stable environment. She wanted DD to live with her throughout high school. I'm happily married to my children's father, DD is in therapy and on medication, and we're seeing progress. Not exactly an unstable environment. 
My sister continues making bad choices with men, has been in an abusive relationship, has bipolar disorder and a dui. It's not her fault that she has bipolar disorder or that her ex bf was a dick, but I would never dream of putting anxiety ridden DD in that kind of environment. When I told her no thanks, she flipped out and called DD disturbed and said that no one takes her opinions seriously as the aunt. Wtf. We've barely spoken since then. [/quote]

This episode sounds like a symptom of your sister's mental illness.  I don't think she deliberately set out to hurt you.  While I'm sure it was upsetting to you and possibly frightening to your daughter, I don't know why you would personalize it rather than look at it as a bipolar episode.  People with bipolar often think they have a godlike ability to "save" others.[/quote]
