Please help. I literally feel like I am about to lose my mind. This is regarding dealing with a family member?

that is a pathological liar. I have gotten to where i cringe when the phone rings and it is her. The more I do not answer, the more she call. Daily now. Without going on and on I will say that she constantly makes up serious conditions about her health. She makes up all the tests she is having done. She forgets the lies she tells me as she calls my mom and gives her a different surgery that she is going to have for the same day. It is sick. If it is not about this, it is all the drama with her and her husband. She is constantly calling and crying that she is leaving him. That he has done one cruel thing after another to her. Truth is they both stay on drugs and drunk. My sister has lied like this all of her life. I know if I confront her all she will do is start crying and denying all of it and go on and on about poor me. I know that I have to cut all ties now, i just do not know how. What can i do short of blocking my number from her. Also, once I do break contact, she will start bothering my

75 year old mother and asking about me. How do I deal with this. Please please give me advise. Also my sister lives about 3 hours from me and my mom. She refuses to let us visit her and will not visit us. She is very jealous. She does not want me around her husband, which makes me sick to know she thinks like this. Also I know she has told so many lies about us to her husband and his family that she does not want us around them. I have put up with all of this and acted as if I thought nothing of it. I have put up with her sickness so long that I have now made myself sick. I just do not know why I have done this to myself.

Update:

please note my sister has already been to prison, she is still no parole,she went for dwi x 3. this is not to mention the the six prior's she had, but they were years and years back when a person could stack them up. He husband is pretty much exactly as she is, his entire family is.

    wow that's really rough :/

    I would say try and get her to a therapist/psychologist and see if she is bipolar or if there is anything they can do to stop this

    as for cutting the cord, you would have to change both your number and your mother's

    I don't know if your mother knows her daughter is like this or if she believes what she is told

    if it is greatly affecting her life as well as yours I would say it is a necessary step, despite how cold that sounds

    Is there anyway you could contact the husband or the husbands family to see if they can get her help?

    I really don't know ... like this is taking its toll on you and your mother im sure

    maybe next time she calls you say "If you love me you'll stop calling every day." be serious and stern and tell her exactly whats happening.

    Maybe try to convince her to call once a week

    Last resort if you know she's on drugs you could have her busted ... idk how that would work or how to do it but mandatory rehab might be something she needs

    Again I don't know ... I hope this helped a little bit ... I wish you the best of luck
