Six Ways To Handle Your Toxic Sister-In-Law

It can be incredibly difficult and painful to survive any interactions with someone who is related to your husband or who has married your brother, especially when they are toxic. In the end, you are family and you have to find a way to get along. Here Are Ways To Handle Toxic Sister-in-laws.

Keep secrets in-house

If your sister-in-law tends to gossip or talk about you behind your back, don’t trust her again. Information is power to her, so don’t share any.

Ignore her comments

If your sister-in-law is toxic in what she says, you should not agonize over her words. Instead, decide whether the comments are tiny insults that you can ignore or if they are challenges to your authority.

Handle Her Interference and Negative Reviews

For a sister-in-law who is very interfering or who constantly criticizes you, it’s a good idea to calmly discuss this behavior with your significant other or your brother (if she’s his wife). Take care not to discuss your sister-in-law as a person.

Handling Accusations

Having your sister-in-law accuse you of things can be even worse. I’ve had my toxic gem-of-a-sister-in-law accuse me of stealing her watch after a Christmas at their home.

Being Pushed Aside

Your sister-in-law may also push you aside, leaving you out of family discussions and activities, forgetting you are also family. This could be painful! Handling this may require that you speak up for yourself or simply show up, even if you weren’t invited.

Handle her Interference calmly

For a sister-in-law who is very interfering or who constantly criticizes you, it’s a good idea to calmly discuss this behavior with your significant other or your brother (if she’s his wife). Take care not to discuss your sister-in-law as a person.
