She obviously has some kind of undiagnosed and untreated mental illness. Okay, so here’s the deal. I live next door to my oldest sister.
Long story short, she has pretty much wreaked havoc in my life over the years, and I will admit that I have allowed it. I allowed it because I felt guilty, because I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, I want to have a relationship with her, I don’t want any confrontation (and believe me, trying to resolve anything with her has caused some serious confrontations), etc. It got to the point where I cannot even go over there-to her house-anymore. I can barely even be around her. But now it’s gotten to the point where she is actually harassing my grown son and grown daughter—but especially my daughter. I’ve wanted to step in but, they have both asked me to let them handle it, I guess because they’ve seen me and my sis get into some pretty heated “discussions.” Sis is constantly texting my daughter wanting to know where she is, calling her in the middle of the night because she wants to be coddled, even told her once that God said that my daughter needed to tell her (my sis) who all her friends are. This stuff isn’t even the half of it. I have also allowed my sister to hold me under her thumb, and I’ve made a lot of decisions based on what she thought I should do, and I’ve suffered greatly. I need to get away from her. I think it’s time.

it certainly sounds like it, the kids too. she is trying to control your lives. I cut my family off because they were so dysfunctional. I had to get away from all that craziness. it was the best thing I ever did.

Your daughter isn't handling it, however. Your sister is overstepping serious boundaries.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
