A reader shares a hardship that's put strain in her family relationships.
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.
