A mum claims to have been put in an impossible position and forced to choose between her two daughters. However, many people are claiming she is a major contribution to the problem and has already taken a clear side.
It's got so bad that one of the girls has not been invited to her sister's wedding. The mother took to Reddit to explain how her daughters have never got on which is much to the disappointment of her and her husband.
"I've tried very hard to encourage them to grow together, as it was always my wish for them to be best friends and take care of each other when I'm gone. Nothing worked and they seemed bent on hating each other," she wrote in a post online.
For context, the mum explained how her daughters had never got along and when the eldest went off to college, she cut off contact from her mum and younger sister back home.

When the youngest then went off to college as well, the two opened up a dialogue which was soon soured as accusations of bullying and blocking each other got back to the mum who did not know what to do or who to believe.
"Erika (23) told me that Sarah (25) had blocked her so I texted Sarah demanding to know why. Sarah said that Erika was name calling and "blowing up" her phone," she said.
On hearing this, the mum told her eldest daughter that she should get over it as this is no way to treat family.
In the two years since their college experiences, the two daughters have had no relationship and the eldest gets moody when her mum brings this up to her.
"Sarah is now getting married. At Sarah's engagement party (to which Erika was not invited, which really disappointed me), I told Sarah that Erika was happy for her but it was hard for her, having her sister be successful like this," she stated.
However, Sarah was less than impressed with this comment and brushed her mother off and has told her that she does not want to invite her younger sister to the wedding.
On hearing this, the mum said: "I was horrified. In my view, Sarah's childish, vengeful antics have gone too far."
" I want nothing to do with the wedding at this point - I'll attend, but I have no desire to help a daughter who treats family like this. I feel like Sarah is just asking me to pick between her and her sister and I want nothing to do with it. "
The online post received a lot of backlash with one Redditor saying: "It sounds a lot like you're completely blind to your baby's faults and you blame all the friction on the old one who "should know better", but your younger daughter is persistently bratty and entitled and you enable this all the way."
While another stated: "If you’re so he’ll bent on family chooses family- how about consider family doesn’t abuse family."
