My sister is married with little children and a nice family, and my brother is married with children and a nice family and my mother and father are Christians who attend church every Sunday yet they hate and lie on my older sister and my brother. Its like there is a deep hatred towards them and I don't know why. They have absolutely no relationship with there wonderful little grand children either. And they constantly want me to take there side and believe the lies about my sister and brother and there spouses so that I will also treat them wrong. Help, what do I do. Has anybody ever heard of something like this where there is literally no cause for this hatred. Maybe long ago my mother was jealous of my sister or something... I don't know... but somehow there is a deep dark root of this multi-decade hatred. Please advise - thanks

Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe there is something going on behind the scenes. Otherwise stay out of it and just play along. There will be a time when you can make choices but for now all u can do is stay out of it. Try to see what you can do to help but ultimately it is between your sibs and your parents

When your parents try to say something bad about your siblings simp;y tell them you don't want to hear it. There isn't much you can do nut love all of them and don't allow any of them to talk bad about each other to you.

Are you sure there isn't more to the story than you've been told?

I'm sorry to say this, but your parents aren't displaying any Christian attributes. Simply going to church on Sunday and not living the life does not make anyone a Christian.

All you can do is keep out of it and try to remain neutral to keep them all in your life. Hopefully, someday they'll see the light and renew their relationship.
