Dianne, I was thinking about this. If you said nothing about her verbally abusive behavior, then you would be an enabler. And that would go against the very mission that you are on to promote peace in relationships. You did the right thing by telling her what you thought. It does not sound as if she has had the insight you had to learn about family relationships and subsequent patterns. JJ, I did not know you had 4 sisters! I'm glad to hear you all found the good in each other.
