My Sister and I have fought our entire lives, normal sibling fights, never physical. We've called names mostly, that I agree is 'normal'.
The last 18 months have really brought out the worst in her and she's resorted to worse than name calling. She digs deep with her insults now, and not even when she's addressing me but behind my back too.
"Things would be so different if you weren't alive, i'm embarrassed when my friends ask me what my sister does for a living, even retards can bag groceries, (i'm unemployed, lost my job, but had one for years) you ruined our whole family, you belong in a mental asylum".
I mean it goes on and gets worse with context. The worst part is, when prompted to apologize by my Mom, she says she can apologize if she hurt me, but not for the words she used, because she doesn't take them back and still believes them.
My Mom says "but she's family, family says things when they're angry" and makes ME feel like i'm the one who isn't willing to 'try and mend our relationship'. I don't want to mend it, to be honest. I'm very content without people like this in my life.
tl;dr: Sister is verbally abusive, Mom wants me to let it go as water under the bridge every time, how do I get Mom to understand that being 'family' doesn't excuse this behavior?
