[quote=Anonymous]IMO you have to set boundaries of what is acceptable behavior, and when they are crossed there will be consequences. SM seems to be a raging narcissist and drama queen. Dad has some weird stuff going on too. Youngest sister gets most of my sympathy. As for SM &c., I think you have to set boundaries and let them know "when you do x, it makes me feel like y" and that certain behaviors are unacceptable, and that you will voluntary absent yourself & your family if and when they occur. If they don't, fine. If they do, just say "I'm sorry, I've made it clear that this isn't acceptable so we are (leaving/ not coming/ etc.)" This sucks, I am sure but you have to protect yourself and your family from SM and Dad, and see if you can help your sister who is stuck in a hellish situation.[/quote]
