[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not see her OP.  And that would just sort of happen "Oh Sara, I'm so sorry - I was really looking forward to seeing you but X came up and I'm going to have to take a raincheck.  Wishing you and little Sara a fantastic holiday season.  All the best, Jane."

There is a ton of drama here that you know about, so almost certainly a whole glacier's worth of additional nightmare you don't know.   So just take the path of least resistance and engagement.  You can always re-establish a stronger connection w/ her in the future, when there isn't as much drama - and that will be much more possible if you're not in the mix now during the ugliness.

Yeah, I agree.  There is waaaay too much drama here. Even if your DB didn't send his edict at (which I would not feel I needed to follow), your XSIL is best avoided until this blows over. [/quote]

WHY?  Just because there is a tumultuous relationship with one person doesn't mean that she needs to be avoided.  Sounds like her brother had just as big of a role in creating drama and OP is not avoiding him.  [/quote]

OP's brother certainly had a role in how the marriage ended but the current actions of the XSIL are taking it to a whole different level.  I understand being angry and holding on to it. but the threats to take legal action to prevent new SIL from attending school events and preventing DB from attending them is over the top.  She's allowing her unresolved anger to spill over and out.  Personally, I strive to avoid subject myself to someone else's drama unless it's unavoidable.  I don't have the energy to policy my words and thoughts when I'm with such an emotionally unstable person.  YMMV.   [/quote]
