pls I need advice

What does it mean when all you ever did was help your sister who is a single mom and all she doesn't is belittle you and tell your other family members that you're a bad person and bad aunty and I should watch her child For free if I was a good sister ? I don't get it I have been caring for her daughter for 3 years and she will Alwyas have this hate towards me for no reason cos we don't get along

It sounds like you need to set some boundaries for both your sister and your mother. Neither apparently has any clue what boundaries are. You will continue to get this treatment until you set your own boundaries. Change won't happen overnight but it won't change at all if you don't start.
You can't change what they do but you can choose what you do which will also affect them. You take care of yourself FIRST.
Don't watch her kid, it's her kid, her responsibility.. she has a lot of nerve treating you like that 😤 childcare is expensive and she is not only taking advantage of you she is being a hateful B to boot too. The nerve
@Sadgirl101 yeah kids can be adorable.. I'm glad she has someone nice to take care of her.. but your sister needs a lecture on how to treat you better for all you do for her..

@SStarfish I wish in another universe she was probably a great sister …
@Sadgirl101 maybe she was a walrus 😅

It's called gaslighting, to make you feel worthless, so you will remain her slave babysitter. You will see more of her true colours once the child becomes independent. She may treat you worst than a maid.

Her child is her problem.. not yours. Are you financially dependent on her ?

Well it sounds like you should find something better to do seeing that you are a bad person. You are being used so stop being used .

Sounds like your sister is being immature and ungrateful to you for your support of her
it means u have to stop being her doormat and watching her kid..

@deathfairy I understand that but she is tormenting me and telling my mom all these things about me to get my mom to hate me .. I have never felt like this before especially when all I did was help and I get this in return it doesn’t make sense
Sadgirl101 · 26-30, FNew
@deathfairy and my mom being the toxic women she is, believes her and then starts talking bad about me and then starts talking bad about my sister to me so it all just doesn’t make sense and it’s killing me

Can you take a break away from her? process your hurt and let her appreciate all you do for her when she can’t take it for granted anymore?

@Sadgirl101 just continue being a good person and have faith, but try to protect yourself emotionally as much as possible while doing right by your niece. This is a crappy crappy situation. Sending big hugs.

Is your sister telling lies? If she is, call her on that, if she isn't then own up to it and make changes.
Sounds like your mom has the same DNA as your sister.
Move.

For your own sanity you need to distance yourself from your toxic family.

She does or doesn’t belittle you.
Sadgirl101 · 26-30, FNew
@RedBaron sorry she DOES all the time belittle me and says I’m not a good person when I’m literally hand feeding her kid while she sits on her phone it’s driving me nuts
Alyosha · 31-35, M

Your comment doesn't have much detail but she sounds selfish.
This is common from toxic people.
Who knows what her problem really is. You know her upbringing. Was she spoiled as a child?
Did your family show favoritism towards you or her?
You aren't responsible for her child and you have to be strong and not let lies bother you.
Does your family actually believe what she says? Is so why??
You may need to distance yourself a bit more from her.

@REMsleep my mom is very 2 faced and I love her very much but she is super 2 faced and willl talk bad about my sister to me and if whenever I’m upset about how my sister isn’t treating me fairly because everytime I say I help alot with ur daughter she just says she basically raised me but she didn’t ? She’s never actually been there for me realistically never actually took care of me. My sister has givin me rides when I couldn’t drive yes. But that’s all she says everytime I try to say anything she says she’s done so much for me ? But she really hasn’t which I can’t comprehend!!
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@Sadgirl101 You definitely need distance to heal and be at peace. Set some boundaries.
Only answer her calls when you have time such as don't answer her calls while you work or anything.
Don't waffle on doing things for her. Let your yes be yes and no be no.
Don't interact with her so much.
That's my advice. She probably won't change.
Typical selfish gaslighting behavior.
Sorry for your niece.

@Casheyane thank you so much but what if I already went through it and no matter what I think my sister will always be toxic even when I help and I feel like no matter what I love my niece so much I have to tolerate her nasty attitude but the only thing that wrecks me is that she manipulates my family n friends and it makes them question me…it’s all so exhausting
Casheyane · 31-35, F
@Sadgirl101 If they are really true family and friends, they should know both of you better and scold her for it.
If they see it as bad and they let it pass, then that is called enabling.

You can do the hard choice and save yourself. Be there for your niece on occasions. But for now, it might be better if you step away for a bit.

Reality is you have your life and it's your choice whether to stay or go. You cannot change people, but you can choose which people surrounds you. You can choose to change your environment and yourself.

Make the choice and follow through. Whatever you choose, you should know that no one deserves to be a doormat. You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate. You might as well set boundaries and limit their access to you. It would be good for your mental health in the long term.

But again, only you would know what would help you breathe easier. Do what is best for you.
