[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another quick OP update: via my mother, I heard today that sister is being urged by a therapist to “reach out to your sister so you can vent your problems and make her understand.” I don’t have a background in psychology but it sounds like my sister may have borderline personality disorder and the therapist’s advice seems really counterproductive. My mom is urging me to go along with this to repair relations and saying that since she’s in therapy she’s trying so we should ignore her mistakes. I don’t think the therapist understands that on the same day as the appointment, sister was bombing us with spam emails, texts, and calls. I feel like she’s baiting us to try to create a blowup so she can say to therapist that we are had people.

Stay no contact, right?[/quote]

Have you shown your mother what you are actually dealing with?  I mean have you physically shown her these hundreds of spam emails that you're getting?  Your mom seems to think that all you have to do is "talk this out" with your sister.  It makes me think that your mom doesn't quite understand exactly what you're dealing with.[/quote]
