My sister-in-law and her family had been living with us for 3 months when it was supposed to be 2 weeks. Tensions grew and grew about various things. They helped out with food with their food stamps but that was it. About 3 weeks ago she stoped contributing to the household. (cleaning and buying food) I went home to make a sandwhich one day and she ripped the meat out of my hand and said i couldnt use it because it was for her husbands lunches. I told her that she couldnt live there for free and we had to eat to. We called eachother names and pushed eachother. I found out that the reason she was so angry was because she found my planner that I keep my bills in that had a day marked "kick them out" I am considering writing her a letter telling her all the reasons I was mad and apologizing for the "kick them out" thing but she shouldnt have been snooping in the first place. She is family we have to resolve this somehow. (I kicked her out during that argument they are now gone)

Since you are family & will be around each other at times, no doubt, it would be nice to write her a letter to explain things & apologize about the "kick them out" thing. She probably feels bad about things too. It's hard to have other people living in your home, especially for 3 months, the best of friends would end up fighting. If you could work it out now, before too much time passes, you could probably put it all behind you & be on good terms again. Just don't bring up what they did wrong, or try to make see that you were right about things, just go with you both did & said things that you wished you hadn't & blame it on, too many people in one house, for too long. I hope you work it out! Good Luck!!!

She was definitely wrong and they behaved badly while you were trying to be supportive. However, you are family and the best thing to do is to be the bigger person and write her a letter. It is always better to work through a family issue. I bet she will apologize also when she gets your letter. I think you are on the right track. Good luck and I hope everything gets resolved.

i know this may sound incredibly cliche, but u need to both talk bout it! a letter is a good idea! just to say what u need to say without u holdin back! apoligise for hurting her, but thats it, u havent done anything else wrong! she pushed her luck , and she probably knew it!
