Would you stop talking to your sister just because another sister asked you to?  Any advice on my sister Cheryl?
 
 
I have an on going issue with my older sister.
 
A.-  Cheryl (oldest) and Sue do not speak to each other. A situation arose 3 years ago when Cheryl lived with Sue for 4 months while their home was being built. Cheryl did a lot of valid things to upset Sue and her dh plus invaded their privacy of their personal desk, private papers, etc.
 
B. I get along with all my sibblings.
 
C. Cheryl told me she is mad at me because I spent time with Sue in Arizona. I also spent time with Cheryl but separately since they don't like each other. (its childish)
 
D. Cheryl is jealous over what I have with Sue.
 
E. Cheryl asked me if I would stop speaking to Sue and my nieces since Sue is not nice to her. (in her eyes only)
 
My sister says I am not loyal to her. I told her I am her sisiter and treat her like a sister and visited with her as much as I could. I felt like a yoyo when I was in Arizona because of my older sister. I am so frustrated over this situation. It is so childish to me. I know Cheryl has a hard time since her dh had the heart attack and brain injury. He rarely speaks and is no companion to her for the most part. All the money in the world can't buy happiness and she has lots. I am done feeling sorry for her...its been 7 years.
 
I told her absolutely not! I have no issues with any of my sibblings and would not get in the middle of her situation.

This is certainly a prime example of the saying: No good deed goes unpunished.
Your sister let them live with her for four months!
You are wise to maintain a relationship with both sisters.
So unfair to put you in the middle.
How does your mother handle it?
Can she act as a liason or is she taking sides?

My Mom is sick of it and refuses to get in the middle of it also. We all went to dinner for my Moms birthday but we could feel the tension.

sounds like a Dr Phil episode to me... Cheryl is being beyond childish and entirely unreasonable... sorry you are stuck in the middle...

SIC EM,DR.PHIL!(lol)
Yes Wanda,this is childish.And it's VERY unfair for 1 sis to ask you to break off communications.I wonder what they'll do when your Dm passes away(don't mean to sound ghoulish).Family is precious & they need to realize this b4 it's too late.

Babs took the words right out of my keyboard -- Thanks Babs ...
 
Angelbear, We're always closer to one sibling over the other, but we never turn our backs or side with one over the other. It's just wrong ...

I cannot abide people who demand you feel the same way as they do- and think you are disloyal if you have your own mind.
 
A little sarcasm may work. Ask her for a list of all the people she wants you to stop speaking to- you don't want to risk being disloyal and you're not smart enough to make up your own mind.

Thanks everyone!   She hasn't called me since I left but I know she has upset Mom since then.  Mom hasn't told me yet what Cheryl said to upset her on the phone but she will soon, thats how she is sometimes. This entire ordeal is so childish and I am tired of dealing with it.

Being from a large family we always have some kind of drama going on.  I simply say "I am so sorry you aren't seeing eye to eye right now, but, I KNOW you love each other and you will work it out."  I get along with all of my siblings and refuse to take sides.
