"Your sister appears to be mentally unbalanced and unwilling to accept you as her full brother. She may also be trying to upset you. If you think she has been spreading these rumors among your relatives, by all means reach out and tell them you have proof that what she has been saying is untrue. One can only imagine what else she has been lying about."
"A close relative has been diagnosed with incurable cancer. Friends are now sending me articles and clippings about cancer research and the promise of new therapies. If they had actually read these articles, they would see that clinical trials on humans are far off, or that the type of cancer referred to in the article is different from what my relative has. Why offer hope when there is none?"
A brother reports his sister repeatedly spreads false, damaging stories about their parents and his paternity despite a DNA test proving their married father is his biological parent. The sister alleges abandonment, unnamed status, and multiple affairs by their mother. Advice recommends notifying relatives and presenting proof if rumors are spreading, and recognizes the sister may be mentally unbalanced and seeking to provoke a reaction. A separate correspondent reports receiving well-meaning but misleading articles about cancer research that create false hope for a relative with incurable cancer, and asks readers to stop offering inappropriate or inaccurate encouragement.
