You don't deserve to be treated this badly. I'm so sorry your sister is being so mean to you. Unfortunately the people that are closer to us are also the ones that could hurt us the most. I'd suggest to just cut her out of your life. I know it's hard, but you need to take care of yourself and your daughter. You don't need toxic people in your life. I find it weird that your family is so afraid of her - what can she actually do outside of getting angry? Do you have any idea of why she has so much power? I'm so sorry, please don't give up. Try to avoid her as much as you can. Don't feel guilty about it, it's just self-preservation after all. Have you tried to explain to your family and your daughter what Bipolar actually is? Maybe you could show them some articles or videos that explain what it is. Stay safe and take care of yourself. Try to hang on. You can do this! You're strong, I know that. I believe in you. Remember that we're here for you. We all love you here. I'm here for you as well. Feel free to PM me anytime. Let me know if I can do something to help you. Wish you good luck! Let us know how it goes. Sending many hugs to you

My sister has been out of my life for about 3 years now but what she has said to me has such a powerful grip on me that it's still affecting me to this day. The anger that overcomes me is unreal when I think about how she has treated me all these years and those horrible things she has said to me. She even told me that her life is 1000% better than mine and that I wished I had her life. Nobody in my family knows I suffer from Bipolar Depression, because I was just newly diagnosed but I always knew I suffered from major depression and she just took every fault that I had and taunted me and hurt my feelings with it. I have to learn to let go of the power she has over me because she is still controlling my life. One time my brother got on her bad side while we were out in public at a bar and my sister actually slapped my brother right in the face in front of everyone. That's what I mean that people are intimidated by her and don't want to get on her bad side.
