[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I absolutely did not do anything inappropriate to my sister to cause her to stop talking to me. She didn’t stop talking to me because I said something she didn’t like. She stopped talking to me because I took space after she said mean things about my boyfriend.

When she is unmedicated she is extremely crass and has no filter. She thinks it’s ok to say anything and the other person should just take it. I know better after years of this than to try and argue with her. But the situation is still hurtful when she says negative things so I needed a breather. When she is in these places any indication that another is bothered by her behavior sends her off the deep end. I’m just not sure how to manage this. Taki my a brief step back was the most peaceful thing I could think of.

I will continue to try and reach out to my nephews and hope they will take my calls.[/quote]

It sounds like you did nothing wrong. I’ve been accused of stealing by my sister so I can empathize.

My advice is not to talk to your sister about any of your problems. If she starts talking to you again one day, grey rock her.

With my sister, I learned I can’t rely on her for help or advice and can’t tell her any problems. She will use what I say against me at some point.

I’d also stop trying to call. She probably loves the drama and attention. She will probably reach out sooner if you ignore her.

My sister lied about me to her family and said her family didn’t like me. I had to ignore all that and keep being who I am because she was feeding them lies. And I assume she is lying to me about them too, so I never believe what she says about them.
