Shortly after moving, my sisters first husband cheated and divorced her, leaving her and her two sons with nothing. My sister got a job that had working nights, and asked me to watch her sons from 2 PM-12 AM, with pay. I agreed. Well, as soon as I started watching her kids, she wasn't coming home until 2-3 AM, and "couldn't afford" to pay me.

    Font - I watched her kids for as long as I could without complaint because I loved the boys and wanted to be the only stable adult in their life, as their father became an alcoholic, and their mom was never home (or was bringing different men around them every week) eventually, after 11 months of this, she ended up moving an hour away for a job with better hours. Finally, my sister meets her now-fiancé last summer, and they quickly got engaged, I was happy for her! My sisters fiancé will often a

    Font - Now to the bridesmaid debacle; When my sister got engaged, I had asked her if she was going to have bridesmaids, she said no and I was fine with it. Well, come to find out, she IS going to have bridesmaids, and one of them is her fiancés sister (someone she has known for less than a year) and had planned to keep this a secret and only have me find out the day of her wedding. I was upset because she lied about it & it is upsetting knowing that for 3 years I have been breaking my back to ta

    Font - Her reasons were 1.) because of my toxic relationship, that ended 4 months ago, she "didn't want the drama of it" & 2. "(fiancé's) sister and him are so close and I wanted to incorporate her in our wedding to show appreciation!" I find her first reason to be the most malicious, as me and my ex have not spoken since the breakup. To use that as an excuse is unforgivable imo, as I supported her and never judged her during her first marriage and divorce. I was clearly upset, and I got out of

    Font - Edit I want to add, that I do not care about being a bridesmaid, I am upset that she picked his sister in general, and lied about it. She didn't pick any of our other sisters, who she also lied to about it. She picked his sister, because she has this weird thing about wanting to be her friend. She has always pandered to her partners family because she wants them to accept her. And I'm upset that her exact words were "I would have picked you, but because of (ex- bf) I don't want you to be.

Forget her stated reasons for slighting you; they're bs, covering an uglier truth you don't need to defend against. Regarding the kids - please find some way to remain connected, short of allowing your sister to use them as a weapon to manipulate you. She's a train wreck, and they may need you in the near future.

Of course they love you, you have been looking after them for months. Don't go to her wedding unless you can have a serious conversation about boundaries and your relationship
