HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Amy you are too funny!

I too have a horrible sister n law....our last "thing" happened on Holloween. I have spoken to her very little since then, and have not gone to her house since. I will wait a couple more weeks and then she will then be ready to enjoy my company.

Maybe that will work for you too. But do tell her your feelings were hurt, after all you are a person too.

I would like to be a friend to my sister n law...but she is too busy telling how wrong I am in EVERYTHING I do. She hurts my feelings all the time.

If you ever want to compare note email me at sussiesutton@yahoo.com

Don't even get me started on my sil. I can't even talk about it......gggrrrrr

Be the bigger person and keep in touch with your niece as much as you can. The sil can say what she wants, but your niece will see the cards you send, the calls you make, etc and know the truth. Actions speak louder than some nutcase's words.

Let us know how it goes.

Kerstin, I'm glad you are trying to work things out with your SIL. My SIL is a psycho, and because of her no one in my family has seen or spoken to my brother in 14 years. Now I don't even know where he lives (I have an idea, but I don't know for sure). The worst part is that I have a niece I haven't seen since she was 4 months old, and now she's 15. I often think about her and what she's like, how she's doing. I hope my SIL didn't screw her up too badly. Because of her, my brother didn't even show up at our father's funeral. Now, if you knew my brother, that's something he NEVER would have done. I can't be sure, but I have the feeling that she has threatened to leave him and take his daughter with her and disappear. I wouldn't put it past her. Because he never would have done half the things he has done otherwise. So as hard as it is, I hope you can at least work things out to the point where you don't lose your brother or your niece. I know from first-hand experience how difficult that is. Good luck!

"but my brother and I have a great relationship and I don't want him to have to make a choice"

Has it occured to anyone that this woman is jealous of the close relationship you have with your brother, and she views you as competition? She has horrible self esteem from the sounds of it. Tread lightly, but firmly.

Then kill her and eat her.
