This is causing anxiety?

[Anonymous]

My sister is telling everyone around town bad things about everyone in my family including me.

I’m worried it’s going to effect finding a job, or a partner in life. She’s very unstable. I don’t talk to her anymore.

I’m just not getting involved in the drama anymore.


Will this get better with time?

I’m 26, and I have no time for this BS. I am never talking to her again, and I never want to see her. I’m going to ignore her, she’s said a bunch of shit to everyone in the family. Telling lies.

I don't know what she’s saying about me, but I just hope she doesn’t try to jeopardize my job by calling them.


She’s not in the house anymore, she’s 44. Living out of her car, jobless, and sends vile messages. Even to my brother who does nothing but help her.

Sad to hear her life is like this. How come its ended up to this life for her? And as a family you can't do anything that may get her help or maybe professional help?

As for yourself, don't let it affect you. People who know you, knows you and wouldn't care. And as for the job, they usually go after resumes and references. If it has come to their attention somethings about you, well, you should be able to respond to those allegations. You haven't done anything wrong and if the employer or people in general, ignores you and mistreats you, ignore them. They are not worth your time and presence.

I think she’s using drugs, and my mom has and my sister has. She has to make the decision to get help but she thinks she’s fine. She has a son 15 years old and he’s been staying with us while he’s in her custody. And she’s been using him as a manipulation tactic and she’s said awful things to him in via messages. We could have her committed but it takes two signatures.

It’s a big mess.
