I couldn't agree more. Jp1, do not fret about venting your frustrations. These are honest to goodness problems that you are experiencing and sometimes it definitely helps to get some input from a wide variety of people.TSTR wrote:Real talk: just because someone is family doesn't mean you have to treat them as such.
I myself have had to cut ties with family members and they were people that I honestly cared for and loved and may be one of the most difficult things I could have ever had to go through. I agree that you can definitely let your wife know your intentions about cutting off her sister. As long as you talk calmly, rationally and be prepared with a plan on of action, your wife should be able to understand. It is hard to say goodbye to a family member, but sometimes you need to do that in order for her to get her life straightened out. No one should be responsible for her, but her.
Take a lot of time to think it through and come prepared when the time comes and good luck.
