she is an older adult, (late 40's). I am the younger sister by 7 years. We are all sure she is mentally ill. She inflates things, (really inflates), to have a reason to blow up, and yell. Then, when she has that going, she tells her kids, and family bad things about me, (and my immediate family). Okay, so that already happened 6 months ago. He daughter had a meltdown because I included her in our family tree, (she didn't like her information posted all over the internet,_it wasn't_, and threatened to sue me). I then refused to have contact with the crazies. So two days before Thanksgiving, My husband gets a call from my Nieces husband saying that (My mother told my sister, who told her daughter, who told her husband, and then called my husband), my husband told me, and I told my mother that my niece needed anger management class. My mother said it, not me. My sister then used this as a reason to skip out on Thanksgiving. She said it was because of me. How do I get her to keep away?

Change your phone number and have no more contact. You have control over that much. If you feel threatened, contact authorities. If you give in once, you have given them the message that you don't mean what you say. Either do it and stick to it, or continue to be miserable. I know..been there. Dr Phil: "You teach people how to treat you." I struggle with that comment sometimes, but I think he might be right. It is tough, but you will save yourself alot of heartache as well as headaches.

MOVE
No really family squabbles and personality clashes are something we all have to deal with, and "they" are not easily resolved. If talking to your sister doesn't help the situation, you'll just have to "grin and bear it" Don't be the one everyone is blaming. Smile, be gracious, and know you've tried your best. Don't talk about her behind her back. Bite your tongue. Eventually your family will see your sister and her family as the trouble makers, especially if they haven't had any negativeness from you and yours.

Move!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remove yourself from the position of being the scape goat. Unfortunately we can not choose our family as we can our friends. Sometimes we have to either walk away or accept that which we cannot control.

Other than a restraining order, the only thing you can do is
to avoid her...
