In dealing with a toxic family member, it is crucial to prioritize the relationship with one's spouse. The issue arose after a parentâs death, where a sister exhibited selfish behavior regarding inheritance. The spouse and their siblings seem intimidated by her, complicating family dynamics. The advice is to let go of personal disappointment and to follow the spouse's lead by perhaps avoiding direct interaction with the sister, thus maintaining marital harmony instead of confronting familial issues head-on.
Sometimes we just have to let other people's toxic families be toxic. There is an unhealthy dynamic between your spouse, your spouse's siblings, and their sister.
Attempting to rearrange these relationships is just going to cause marital strife for you. The relationship you can and should focus on is the one between you and your spouse.
You might choose to be out of town when the sister visits. But I implore you to make peace with your disappointment in your spouse.
You donât have to acquiesce to the sister's future demands or even be friendly.
