What a Difference since DH stood up for me!
Ever since DH spoke with his sister, and made it clear he was not happy about OSD's treatment of me, DH's sister has been extremely nice to me
I really do think that all it took for that to happen (however limited I'm sure it will be) is the knowledge that DH is on to them, not happy about it, and does support his wife
His sister and daughter like to do their evil infantile pokes at me in such a way that makes them look innocent, and me the problem (exactly as the article StepAside once shared on here about Relational Aggression)
Just goes to show that sometimes when our DH's actually stand up and make it clear his support in these situations is for his wife, and that he will not support his wrongdoing family even if they ARE blood, that sometimes that message changes their behavior
Now, if only he can get that message to OSD too LOL
If it makes you feel better
If it makes you feel better Step-by-association, that scenario is so very common
Just keep being yourself, classy, and try to set a good example of what a mature decent human being is for your SD
Maybe one day she'll grow up and accept you (my YSD turned around with me so it can happen
) but even if your SD doesn't, then you know you've done the right thing and your DW will see it someday too....it's always so hard for parents to admit their precious children might actually be the problem!
It's great to know you are
It's great to know you are enjoying a reprieve- long may it last!

I do believe a talking to 'message' is something that will never work on your OSD. SIL is a jealous meddling brat and she enjoys being part of the 'mean girls' club as she doesn't have much else of a life (based on what you've wrote on SIL).
With OSD it's more of a mental illness/personality disorder that cycles. Just my opinion.
That's a very accurate
