Sister vs Sister ( 20:08:54 MonNov 1 2004 )

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to "Sam" for 20 years. He is a wonderful husband and provider. When I married Sam, we had nothing; now we have a home and rental properties.

My family seems to be jealous of the financial success we have achieved. My siblings make snide comments and have pulled away.

It came to a head the other night when my youngest sister announced to the family that I had gone online and anonymously threatened her family. Abby, I have never been anything but kind to them. They have an open invitation to visit our home and swim, and I have even bought her children clothing and shoes when she was unable to.

I don't understand this, and I'm very hurt. Please help me to put this in perspective, because I am fully aware that money cannot buy happiness -- happiness comes from family and loved ones. -- WRONGLY ACCUSED IN ARKANSAS

DEAR WRONGLY ACCUSED: Your sister may be jealous, may have mental problems -- or may just have a need to be the center of attention. Since you have been generous with her, it may be time to realize that loving relationships are reciprocal. If your relatives are put off by what you and your husband have accomplished, the problem is really theirs, and you can't fix it.

P.S. If your sister did, in fact, receive a threatening e-mail, rather than accusing you, she should have informed the police.

I wonder what has led her to make the accusation. :cheering:

Her younger sister does definitely have some real issues. :rolleyes:

If she really did get an anonymous email threatening her family - she should have called the police and have them investigate. Not only is she hurting the letter writer by making that accusation - but she is also endangering herself and her family by not having the police look for the real perpretrator, who could be out anywhere hurting someone.
