[quote=Anonymous]Some posters to this thread need to practice their reading comprehension and re-read the OP’s posts.  She hasn’t contradicted herself and is not being a troll.

OP - I think the additional context you provided is helpful for some to give advice, but it doesn’t change mine.  I agree with those who said you need to decide what type of relationship YOU are comfortable with having with her/other cousins.  You can’t control your dad or step mom’s relationship with her/them.

If you do proceed, you might want to be forthright about some boundaries. For example, saying you will not discuss anything about your dad or step mom. There may be other boundaries you don’t have to address forthright but want to think about heading into a repair of the cousin relationship.  For me, I would be very cautious given her extreme behavior previously.  Making things up and trying to get your dad arrested is a huge concern, even if she provided a heartfelt apology later.  That is just beyond poor judgment and you need to think about the risks that she may pose by re-establishing a relationship.  This sounds like an awful situation all around, and I hope you find peace in whatever path you choose.[/quote]
