How do I begin this? My sister has moved in with my mom. In fact my sister's family has moved in. My mother has begun to tell my nephew that the reason I institutionalzed when I was a teen was because I didn't do well in school. This a lie. I was put away because of suicide attempts. I don't think it was right of her to say such things about me just to threaten a little seven year old boy. I am so highly upset about this. I don't want my nephew thinking that such a thing could happen to him just because he isn't doing well in school. My nephwe does have alot of problems. My sis jumped into this marriage after two months of knowing the boy father. I realize it must be hard on him. He dislikes my sis as his stepmom. I don't want him to think that he has to be good or he will be put away. I am at a loss. I want to confront my mother about this and I feel as though I have every right to do so. My mom has also made my son the target of the same abuse by saying to my nephew that he has to be better than my son. She doesn't want my son to be the only smart one in the family. This so wrong! She has other grandchildren in her so called family also, but does she ever think about them? In fact she didn't want my son over at her house to spend the night with his cousin. What in the world did I ever do to make this woman so angry at me? I have been staying away from her so I don't have to listen to what all she has to say about me or others in my life. And I am fixing to stop talking to her at all.
