Not allowed to set boundaries
My sister became involved with a foul individual about 7 years ago. In the two years between 2017-2019, she left him twice. I was closest to the situation, and the abusive texts and other fall out spilled over into my life. She is with him again, and pregnant. Her own behaviour when she goes back is exploitative, she deflects any responsibility, and she accuses me of victimising her because I am still angry and keep my distance. Rather than respect my boundaries, she uses her relationship as assumed privilege to come here, see my son and persist with unwanted contact. The extended family are more interested in finding excuses for her partner's behaviour than supporting my position. If I hear 'He had a terrible childhood' one more time....They've continually enabled her to place him at the centre of family life, until my partner and I dug our heels in and refused. Now we're being blamed, especially me.
