the dreaded sister-in-law
My brother, his wife, and youngest daughter are supposed to show up at my parents house tomorrow. I doubt if his wife, P, will show. For whatever reason she just hates my mom and isn't shy about trying to keep my brother and the girls from the family. We can go years without seeing them. I have no idea what the woman's problem is, but I think my brother is not much of a man (he's my brother I can say that) for not putting his foot down years ago and keeping in better touch with the family. P didn't even go to her own mother's funeral, this is the type of person we are dealing with here. When her mom was dying she wouldn't go visit because she would have to clean her mom's house. The girl is crazy I tell you!!! I hope that my brother and niece show up and not P. I know that is mean, but we walk on egg shells around her. Do you have anyone in your family like that? I try very hard NOT to hate her. I dislike her, but I try not to hate.

Have you had a heart to heart talk to your brother abt this? Perhaps he's been with her so long and doesn't realize what she's doing and just becomes used to her. Tell him now before it will be too late. I hope your wishes come true!

This type of family dynamic is rough this time of year. True, for your own good, its better if you can avoid hating her. Hate what she does, but to hate her only eats at you! You can't allow someone to control you that way. I speak from experience. :) Happy Holiday tomorrow :)
I don't know how many responses you've had but I didn't know there was someone else in the same situation as I am in. I have a wonderful brother that the whole community seems to love but he has a wife, who will we call S, who seems to be born and reared by SATAN himself. She argues within the family, she argues with church members and before my mom died 2 years ago she argue with her.
She is not hated by me but she is always so smart mouth and each time she does this it makes me dislike her a little bit. Now the rope has about one inch left. My biggest issue I have with her now my mom is gone is this Hell Cat is in my church, working against me in everything I try to do. I just Pray long and often that I will find a way to push her out. Well thats what my mouth say but my heart would never let me be mean to her, not intentionally.
This sounds so familiar. My sister in law who we'll call C holds everyone in the family in contempt and lets everyone to know it though she is subtle about it. She trys to act like she is the good guy by allowing us to see my brother and the children on occasion. She is the most manipulative person I've ever met. They have been married for over 25 years and I'm sorry to say she has worked her brainwashing on my brother and even involves the kids. She trys to turn others in the family on occasion but we're not having it. She was so cruel to my father while he was alive and yet I watched her work his funeral like she was his best friend.
No one really knows why she hates everyone. She has also alienated her own siblings as well. Her mother too though she ran to her bedside as her mother lay dieing like she had actually been a caring person. She keeps my brother and the children close and is very loving to them yet alienates EVERYONE else eventually including friends. I'm thinking there may be a name for this. Some kind of medical disorder. What do you think?
Guess I needed a venting day when I wrote that. I would retract a few things if I could. C can be a beautiful person, I just wish she didn't hate us all so much. It hurts and that was what I was feeling.
