[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t help a full grown adult who has told you to back off. Op has no entitlement to be anywhere near her sister’s baby. She gets no input into the decisions. Op has already shared her feelings with the sister. The sister knows how her family feels. She doesn’t care. This should be the end of the discussions.

But that doesn't mean you give up.  Maybe that might mean supporting sister' DH to visit his family. Mayve that means giving the sister a name of a good therapist. Maybe that means a family meeting to discuss what the problem is, similar to intervention with somebody suffering from substance abuse problems.  What you don't do is let somebody suffering from impairing mental illness go untreated. [b]This isn't about OPs sense of entitlement to hold her sister's baby,[/b] this about untreated anxiety that is impairing sister's ability to function, which includes parenting her child. [/quote]

OP is sure making it seem that way. [/quote]

I see very little in OPs posts, especially since she got the same advice in her first thread, by way of concern for her sister. I see a lot of shaming and manipulation, and that’s even in her own posts. She is only committed to doubling down on feeding the validation that her sister is some horrible, psychopathic monster mother. [/quote]

I'd consider cutting someone like that off. A person who has no clue about boundaries and is as judgemental as that doesn't need to be anywhere near a new mom. [/quote]
