The most important issue here is your great-niece’s well-being. Is she getting the help she needs to deal with the abuse/trauma she has suffered?

Dear Lisi: My niece phoned me late one evening to tell me something horrible that happened to my great-niece, the granddaughter of my sister, while she was away at school.

I left my sister’s home in great distress. We are a very close family, and I am especially close with this sibling and her children. I contacted my own daughter, who told me that her cousin had also called her with the information and more. I do not miss or want anything to do with my niece, for the way she was so disrespectful to me to save her own butt. But I miss my sister every day, and I feel a great loss.The details are too vague, for privacy reasons, and obviously I’m only hearing your side of this multi-sided story. If you can help facilitate that, from behind the scenes, then you are focusing on what matters.
