Autonomic Dysfunction

Just a vent:
Yesterday, my niece texted me and said they would try to come visit tomorrow. Within 45 minutes, my niece got a text from my sister ripping into them for planning to see me.
This morning my sister sent this to my mom.

I have been no contact with my sister for about five years. I have been in therapy for almost ten. I have no idea what my sister is on about, but this isn’t normal. I can’t be scapegoating my sister for anything- it doesn’t even make sense. Even if i was scapegoating her- she wouldn’t know because I don’t talk to my sister or almost anyone in my family.

I thought if I was out of her life, she would quit talking about me. Obviously not. She has no new information about me or what I am doing. She doesn’t know about any of my health conditions. Historically, my sister has told my family I am making it all up because I used to be a psychologist- idk what that has to do with my physical health conditions. She tells that to my extended family and I have had to go low contact with them because constantly defending myself got too hard.

I also don’t know what games she is talking about but I wish I had games to play!
