Help! I've Kept My Distance From My Melodramatic Sister-in-Law. But She Just Sucked Me Back in With a Wild Accusation.
"The highlights include her throwing a crying fit over not being invited to my college graduation (they were just dating); my refusal to be in the bridal party (I lived across the country then and couldn't afford to fly to her many activities); my gifts always being "wrong" (I finally just got her gift cards and she claimed I hated her); and not inviting her on girl trips I took with my cousins (I never invited any of my other sisters-in-law either)."
"A deer hit my car on the way to dinner with her. I texted her what happened and she flipped out and accused me of lying. In fact, I was always trying to lie and dump on her. I sent her a picture of my car and she accused me of using a Google image! I texted she was a crazy bitch and needed serious psychiatric help. She told me that she was going to ruin my life like I "ruined" hers"
Judy displays persistent insecurity, pettiness, and competitiveness toward her sister-in-law, reacting strongly to perceived slights. Examples include crying over not being invited to a college graduation while just dating, resenting the sister-in-law's refusal to join a distant bridal party, criticizing gifts, and excluding her from cousin trips. The sister-in-law attempted friendly gestures like spa days and brunches, but Judy's behavior remained duplicitous. After a deer hit the sister-in-law's car, Judy accused her of lying and of using a Google image, then threatened to ruin her life. The parents saw the texts and finally understood the situation.
