Don't feel guilty or take the blame here. Keep the problem where it belongs - with your sister and now your mother. Their decision and their choices. They are deciding to be petty about the situation. Stick to your plan no matter what. You have the opportunity to make this about you and your children as the #1 priority. Where is your Dad in all of this pettiness coming from your mom and sister? Thanks!! I am determined to stick with it and make this a better situation for everyone. In short, my dad has virtually no say or control in his life. My parents do not have a healthy relationship. My dad is legally blind and has bipolar and so between the two (and my mom) things have always been complicated and often unpleasant. |

I just wanted to say "yay!" for getting the acceptance into the pot program! And, that I was thinking about ya!
I cut off my birth mom and half-sister(s) fifteen years ago. (I didn't really cut off the younger one, she just hasn't ever really contacted me)...because my birth mom let middle sister continue illegal and unhealthy behavior to be in her life and the life of her grandchildren after the court ordered loss of custody. I just couldn't have either of them in my life and visiting my hometown, where they live, if she was going to allow a drug using prostitute to be around her home and possibly my children. Granted kinda different situation, but not...just a grown-up kid not being held accountable for her actions.
Wow, that sounds like I have a crazy life, but really I don't....my adoptive parents were God's gift to me, as well as my DH and three girls.

ashley How are things with your mom and sister? Have there been any changes?? Hi! So... no changes. My mom hasn’t brought it up. We haven’t had family dinner since I brought up the issue. We did not celebrate my nephew’s birthday, and my mom asked if we could celebrate mine while my sister was away on vacation. My sister hasn’t spoken to me at all — other than to wish me a happy birthday. She does not reply to texts (my mom and I group text with my sister all day still). I did end up making an appointment with my therapist to discuss this, and she was supportive and gave me some ideas to try. I’ve followed through with some of them (like sharing positive parenting resources my therapist recommended, suggesting we attend a parenting class together, free webinars) and she has not replied. |

I'm sorry, Ashley. It sounds as if you're best off not bringing it up to your sister at all.
