"(Name key: Little sister -Karen, Her ex husband -D, Her ex boyfriend A, My friend and her fling -B)
Okay, some context here. My little sister and I never really got along when we were little. By that I mean she would bite me till there was bl**d I would push her off of me, then she would run to my mom when I would get in trouble. I am one of the middle kids, out of 6 kids, and Karen is the youngest. Karen married young to her high school sweetheart, D. They moved to Tennessee and then came back to our current state. They rented a house with D’s friend. I barely took to D, unless it was Christmas gift ideas for Karen or when I was house-sitting for them. Karen and my relationship was good. We would hang out, spend time together, and there was no arguing. I even helped her move out when D and her got a divorce. Currently, I (30f) and she (26f) have not spoken to each other in over a year."

“You see, D was dating this much older guy at the time, A. He was 20 years older than her. I thought it was creepy, but I stayed out of it. I knew him because we would be in the same gaming group together. Well, one day Karen decided she wanted to try out this other game mode. I invited her in, and one of the guys had a crush on her. They were about the same age. The guy asked if he could have her contact info, so I called Karen to ask. I even told Karen he had a crush on her. Karen agreed and said, ‘Yeah, he can have my phone number and snap.’ So I gave the guy the info.”

I am a little sister, and I would never burden my older sibling with my own drama. That's just immature. We are adults now. Yes, we still get into stupid sibling fights, like why did my brother borrow my phone charger without asking, and then lose it??? NOT COOL. But I would never talk about my own mistakes and somehow make them all his fault. That's not what a sibling is for. In fact, my sibling sees my struggles and makes sure to be as supportive as he can. Though he will still call me a pumpkin if I'm wearing an orange shirt… Like, let me live my life, bro!

"A few months go by, and the guy decided to text Karen and ask her to play with us. She never did. The next morning, she is bombarding my phone, saying how dare I give out her contact info without her permission. I said I did have it. I called and asked. (During the phone call, I also had witnesses listening in on the Discord call.) She kept arguing. I was in paramedic school at the time and already stressed enough. I told Karen, ‘Look, I have enough of my drama, I don’t need yours either.’ That is when Karen blocked me on everything. I didn’t care one way or the other because my goal was to finish paramedic school as sane as possible. Paramedic school is brutal.
My theory on why I think she got mad was that she was caught cheating on A and had to blame someone. The guy still to this day tells me they continue to snap back and forth."

“A few more months go by. I get engaged to my FH (31m). I also got a text from the storage unit that they are going 24/7. You see, I helped Karen get this storage unit with my mom to put some of her things in. I sent a group text about the update, so they know. Karen then proceeds to tell my mom that I slept with D. For the record, I didn’t. She has been going on about that since high school. D came to me and asked if I wanted to go to the mall with him to help pick out Christmas gifts for her. Karen knew about the plan and said we should go. Since that day, she has said I slept with D.”

“Now for the real kicker here. She also told my mom that I slept with B when they were together. B is a friend of mine and a coworker. Right after her divorce, she came by the station and saw him. They had a fling for about a month or so. After they broke up, B and I remained good friends and coworkers. I would sometimes cat sit for him when he went hunting. But I’m guessing because my mom has us [on the security camera] and saw me at his place, and just believed that was what was happening. I told her I was watching his cat.”

"My mom texted me and asked if any of it was true. I started laughing and said no, none of it is true. I even told my FH about it. We decided right then that she was uninvited to the wedding. Now, because Karen knows a coworker of mine in EMS, that rumor has spread a bit around the community. I have tried to set it straight.
I will update if she tries to come around to my wedding. It’s in two months.
Bonus detail! She has this new boyfriend. My older sister showed me his picture and name. I know him from a call I ran. I can’t say much, but it wasn’t for anything good."

It seems like this middle sister was used to her little sister's antics, so cutting her off was as easy as sending a LOL text to her mom. Still, a sibling argument can sting more than any other argument before. Maybe this little sister will grow and evolve and be able to apologize to her family and mend the bonds. We're rooting for that!
