Do I know you?  LOL

I also have a sibling that's [BLEEP] up my family so much that I haven't seen most of them for 10+ years.  I just decided many years ago that I was going to worry about my own family (wife and kids) and if my siblings need to get in touch with me they know where to find me.  There are times when I feel bad about it, especially seeing how close-knit my wife's family is.  But it just became too much of a stress/hassle to be around them and involved in the family politics.

I'm so over her crap I don't feel bad. Her behavior is on her, just as yours is on them, and plenty of chances were given to set things right and she didn't want any part of it. My husband's family is close too and they don't understand my family having to take a stand and not let her ruin us all but that's not our problem either. Sounds harsh but it is what it is. Lying, stealing, emotional abuse, etc., will not be tolerated.
