[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you say something OP? I never get this on here. She's your sister. She's doing this nuttiness in your home. I have five siblings and we're straight up with each other, no walking on eggshells. This is ridiculous. [/quote] I have a brother like OP’s sister. Our mother has NPD. My brother has cut the family off many times but much like OP I occasionally entertain the fantasy that if I just am “straight up” with him and stop walking on eggshells, we’ll have a normal sibling relationship. Unfortunately that doesn’t work when people have mental illness and have been raised in complicated environments where they’re basically trained to believe that people should walk on eggshells around them. Sorry, OP. I did what you’re doing every 5 years or so until my husband finally said never again. It hurts when I see normal families enjoy time together but my brother and his family just can’t handle visits.[/quote]
