Cruel sister-in-law now battling cancer asks for help
How do you show compassion to someone who has deeply wounded your family without inviting the same destruction back into your life?
Dear Annie: My sister-in-law, “Kay,” was once one of my closest friends. For more than 25 years, we were there for each other through everything: marriages, divorce, raising children, heartbreak and all the ordinary ups and downs of life. We never had a serious fight, and I truly believed we would always be family in every sense of the word.
