Am I overreacting, or is this extremely negative behavior?
I am struggling with conflicting feelings over feeling disrespected by family members. I was not especially close to my sister, but we did see each other occasionally and text/talk on social media.
A few months ago, my sister misunderstood something her lawyer said and jumped to the conclusion that my husband and I would be splitting the money with my stepdaughter’s biological mother. I can understand the sensitivity of the subject, but I am extremely hurt that they stood by their assumptions and spread false things about my husband and me when I have never given them a reason to think such negative things about me. I had tried to talk to them, hoping for an apology, but like in the past, I was only given excuses. My father now wants my husband and me to reach out to my sister and mother to make amends. Part of me wants to sweep it under the rug, as I have always done.
