My sister says my mom is ‘toxic’
Q. I have two sisters. One sister and I get along very well with our mother. Our dad died a long time ago, and our other sister — all of a sudden — has said my mom is toxic, and I’m not sure why. My other sister and I don’t know how we can make her fix this relationship with our mom. My mom is now 81 years old. She’ll be 82 soon. I feel like if my sister doesn’t fix this relationship with her, she’s going to regret it. I mean, we’ve already lost one parent. We need (in my opinion) to just keep up with our other parent because this is the last one we have left. I guess my name is “sister wondering about fixing mom’s relationship.” SISTER WONDERING ABOUT FIXING MOM’S RELATIONSHIP A. Please let your sister make her own choices. If she has figured out that her relationship with your mom is toxic, she’s allowed to stay away. She can opt not to show up. You can also support her in this…
