There’s been lots of drama in my family between my oldest sister whose mentally ill and especially my mom.
They never got along but my oldest sister has a 15 year old son he got sick of it and their relationship has been rocky.
She’s got no job, has no home. She stays at friends places.
Anyways she sends vile messages, she was telling my nephew how my mom never graduated high school or got a GED.
My mom was about to graduate but decided to go into work instead. She was about to get her GED.
Anyways, she’s telling lies about everyone in the family. And it’s bothering me. I don’t talk to her nor have been close to her, I don’t associate myself with her anymore. She’s such a shitty person.
A lot of people know she’s mentally ill, she’s got 3 degrees and can’t use any of it due to stealing charges and now has a criminal mischief charge.
Do I just ignore her? I don't know what she’s saying about me, she can only say so much cause I wasn’t really close to her.
Who treats their mom this way? Has anyone gone through something similar?

Ugh girl, I'm so sorry you're dealing with all that drama from your sister. Family is supposed to have your back, not put you through hell like that.
From what you've said, it really seems like ignoring her toxic behavior is the healthiest thing for you. There's no reasoning with someone who's that unstable and determined to cause trouble.
The best thing to do is live your life as far from her chaos as possible. Don't give her the attention or reaction she craves by getting sucked into arguments. Keep your distance both physically and on social media.
If she sends you nasty messages, just delete them without responding. Don't give her the power to upset you - rise above and stay focused on your own happiness.
She's probably just jealous that you're doing better than her mess of a life. Some people will always try bringing others down to their level when they're unhappy. Sad as it is, you can't help someone who doesn't want help.
Stay strong sis - you've got this! She can talk all she wants, her words can't hurt you unless you let them. You go live your best life without that toxic energy dragging you down.
