Rang my sister today to let her know that something which could have been a big problem for us had all been sorted out (in our favour) and that everything was looking good (for a change - we have had a run of bad luck). She suddenly turned into my mother and began to criticise decisions we have made, the way we raise our children, etc. I bit my tongue and kept to myself the criticisms I have of her life choices. Should I have told her what I really think or was it better to keep it to my self?
Hi Society - I won't be telling her anything again. My husband and friends are great (even if they have a negative opinion they are always supportive). To be fair, the things that have happened have been quite outrageous as individual events but they are quite something when all put together but sh!te happens!
Getting back to your thread.As someone said before,I was in the same position as them in as much I could tell my youngest sister anything(still can in fact) but the next youngest was a condesending bitch who critised every thing I did or said or bought.In the end I cut her out of my life and the relief has been enormous.You can't choose family but you don't have to put up with sh!t from them any more than you would do from anyone else.
I have just the one family member now - my big sis. If we had a bad falling out and then she died I don't think I could live the guilt of having fallen out in the first place. Fortunately, on current health records, I think the guilt would be hers not mine, but one never knows.

My sister has always been selfish.Mum was at deaths door in hospital and never visited.Always put any cards(when she could be bothered)through the letterbox.We all pussy footed around her because she was "always right" according to her.Well not any more.The whole family is fed up of her.There's lots more I could say but can't be bothered to use the energy.
