Please don't read this if you might be upset by this type of subject matter.
My sister has been diagnosed by several psychiatrists as having borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. She refuses treatment.
I believe she is a dangerous and evil person. Her second last psychiatrist (who doesn't even want her as a patient anymore) said she has a strong psychopathic streak.
She has assaulted my mom four times this year. On one occasion she broke several of my mom's ribs. She also gave her a bleeding eye. My mom phoned the police one the one occasion and they went over there but they said they can't do anything if she doesn't lay charges and my mom's too soft to do that.
My sister attacked her second last boyfriend with a knife, cutting him on his arm.
Her second marriage was annulled after five days when she assaulted her new husband and broke all his stuff. She also phoned his boss and tried to create problems. He got a restraining order against her.
She treats my mom like dirt. She is almost 34 years old but hasn't worked more than two years of her adult life. She has this attitude that life owes her and that work is beneath her. She won't even help wash the dishes. My mom pays her medical bills, her car, her clothes, her toiletries, etc.
My mom does all this for her and takes the abuse because she is a soft person and she seems to blame herself for the fact that my sister turned out this way, like she thinks she did something wrong in my sister's upbringing.
Now my sister has threatened that if I go there again she will break my nose. She also threatened that she will phone my employers to create problems.
I live in a different city to my mom and sister who live together.
I am so worried about my mother. My sister has a toxic personality. She creates stress wherever she goes. Her second last psychiatrist (the one who doesn't want her as a patient) said it is in her personality to create conflict wherever she goes. My mom told him one day she thinks my sister is capable of murdering her to inherit and he said he agreed.
She manipulates my mother and encourages her to drink so that she can "manage" her and control her.
Considering her history I believe she is quite capable, in a moment of rage, to kill me.
I don't know what to do. I'm too scared to go there but I'm worried about my mother's wellbeing. My sister is slowly but surely destroying my mother.
I just wanted to tell somebody. I feel so alone. I don't know what to do.

I wish your mom would press charges. Your sister does not sound like observes any limits.
As far as protecting yourself, what can you do?
If possible, can you tell your employer that she's insane? In case she makes calls.
If she assaulted you, would you press charges?

Couldn't the psychiatrist have her committed? She sounds to dangerous to be around others? Phillipa

There is Adult Protective Services. I don't know if your mother is of an age to qualify. I'm not sure if it's 60 or 65. At least in California, in my county, the physical abuse you describe would not be tolerated if it were called in.
I'm sorry you are dealing with this :(

I came across this post while doing a Google search. It's been three years since you posted this but the subject matter and importance remains the same. My sister is extremely mentally abusive to my mom. I'm hoping that you found a solution. And I'm hoping you can help me find one too. Please. I'm afraid that what it takes to protect my niece and mother is to break this family apart. Please give me any follow up. my email is pcorrea25@yahoo.com if you would like to contact me directly. I truly hope everything is well in your situation. It's painful to see loved ones suffer.
