You forgot to mention character assassination and scapegoating! In my case, it is siblings spreading slander amongst their children such that these children as adults give me the silent treatment or are openly hostile. Apparently I slept with all three of my sisters' husbands. I don't know who started this appalling rumour but no-one had the decency to say anything directly to me, for years. Having adored my sisters' children for years, I am now keeping my distance as the betrayal is just too much to bear. I actually just feel disgust towards all of them now, for they have taken my time, energy and resources when it's been of help and then abandoned me /become indifferent when I they no longer needed me . Such treacherous people do not deserve a minute of my time.
