I'm so sorry to hear that! I was in a similar situation last year with my younger sister. I said a few things that she didn't like, so she attacked me from behind and she hit me with her cell phone and took a video of me trying to protect myself to make it look like I was attacking her! She scratched me up so badly that part of my skin was hanging off from my upper lip.

It took months for the scars to heal. My parents and my husband were there at the time, but they didn't see her attack me. They came a couple of minutes later and stopped us. She is bipolar but unmedicated. They blamed everything on me of course telling me that I provoked her! I wasn't allowed to call the cops!

Here is what you should do, stay AWAY from your toxic sister! Unless she SINCERELY apologizes to you and offers to get help, stay away from her! Don't let your kids anywhere near her as she's a very toxic person! Kids are very immpressionable. You're an adult, yet you can barely manage to deal with her toxic nature. Think of what it's like for your kids!

You need to have a serious talk with your parents and tell them that until they can stop taking sides and making excuses for her, you won't be able to talk to them or see them again. Also, tell them that you can't let your kids be around her anymore until she changes. Make things very clear and be like a broken record if they don't listen. Stand your ground and don't ever let anyone persuade you that it's you who is the problem. It's not.

You were merely sticking up for yourself. Get some books or do some research on here on how to deal with bullies and toxic people. Your sister is a mean bully. Once you stand up to people who treat you badly, they might be shocked at first, but in time they'll start to respect you. Trust me, it usually works with most people. Keep on being consistent. It might take some people more time than others to get used to you being assertive, but once they do, it's great!

Remember, make it clear that you WILL call the cops on her if she dares to ever lay a finger on you again! Always have your cell phone ready to record what she says via video or record in stealth mode by placing it in your pocket or purse. Don't take her calls, texts, or emails until she apologizes to you. Same with your parents. If you allow people to treat you like crap, they'll continue doing so. Good luck!
