I have a 46 year old sister who is very jealous and has a very strong and manipulative personality, affecting our entire family. She gets jealous when something good happens to others. She spreads lies and gossips about us to friends and relatives. But when she is in a good mood, she can be very nice and helpful too.
When she got divorced, she moved to my momīs home with her kids. Since then, my mom has devoted completely to them; but even though, my sister gets jealous when my mother spends time with other children or grandchildren. Mom is confronting health problems related to anxiety due to all of this. Our family used to be very closed-knit.
My husband and I are getting 50 in January and we are planning a family trip with our kids. But we have everything on hold because we donīt know how to make the announcement; we know for sure that she will start a new episode with any other excuse and it will affect my motherīs health. We even considered asking her to go with us but, last time she ruined our vacation.
I really appreciate any ideas on how to handle this situation and others to come.
