Didn't think I'd be adding to this sorry tale. Maybe should have started a separate post regarding my mother, but the new problems relate to this topic. Perhaps I will, as there are other issues emanating from this.

Twice over the past week, my mother has accused me of having no compassion for her because I won't resolve the "family rift". Twice I have reminded her that I did not do the lashing out, so I have nothing to apologise for. When I ask if she's had the same conversation with my brother, she says yes. It's awful I know, but I just don't believe her.

Today has ended as Saturday did because she cannot see any wrong. She is trying to manipulate me into apologising for something I didn't do because it's the easy way out. Sister-in-law is the type of person who is manipulative, full of bull***t and thinks she's convinced everyone how good she is. As I've reminded my mother today, if I apologised it sends out the wrong message and it's a great pity but don't think it's the last time sister-on-law will behave in this way.
