It's no secret and I've posted before I've had some issues with my own family. Most of them seem to be hell bent on doing things that make them unwelcome.
Earlier this year I ran afoul of one of sisters, I have two, one I haven't seen or spoken to in at least 20 years except for one funeral, and the other I wish would go away. She's been in trouble with the law off and on for the last 30 years, and my mother feels to need to bail her out or disbelieve anything the courts have ever said about her since she was arrested at 15 for forging checks, with my mother's signature on them. That was back when the Berlin Wall was still standing.
This one sister and I have never gotten along, and that continues. Back this year in the winter she called, something she never does, because someone called the locals on her. She lives about 3,000 miles away so I have no idea, but she accused me, and mostly because she's wanted back here for running from a grand jury indictment and skipped before trial. She's been picked up down there but the locals here don't want to go all that way for her.
It got real bad and her son, who seems destined on the same road, got the cops called on him because he thinks he's a YouTube star and does gun videos in his yard with neighbors. Well, about 6 months back she threatened to call CPS on me and my wife, for what who knows, mostly to start trouble. My mother intervened apparently, but she and her son are banned in my house. She's blocked on everything we can think of and has been told if she calls, I will have her charged for it.
Things were settled down until last month when my mother came up for my son's birthday party. My wife and I had even picked the date so it worked with her schedule. My wife's nephew and sister in law were there was well. Within 5 minutes of her getting there, my mother is on her cellphone trying to have my son talk to my sister. My wife and I put an instant halt to that and then an argument erupted over it, and my mother threatened to leave and threw for all intent and purpose a tantrum. We got through the day but things have been tense since.
Well today, someone showed me a post my sister made where she's threatening to call CPS again, and apparently this time my mother isn't saying anything either. So now with the holidays coming up, I have to find a way to handle it. Of course, the one who will be most affected is my son, we've been civil until now. But I intend to have a talk soon with my mother over this, and I imagine things will progress downhill from there.
It's getting so I talk to less and less of my family, and my wife's family has shown our son and me more kindness than most of mine ever did.
