My sister is 26, married with 1 child. She's a deputy for LA county. The last year, after having her child, my dad has increased his favoritism towards her by buying her nice things for her birthday and for christmas. he's focused on her when she comes over and completely ignores me. This has gotten worse when I got engaged. My sister would call my dad and make up lies that she felt was necessary. She even indirectly accused him of being a child molester, which was not true. All but 2 lies were false. She still refuses to confront my fiance and insists on contacting him through me. My dad refuses to listen to my information on my fiance and takes my sister lies as facts.
What do you think I should do? Should I ignore my sister? Please help me out

now you need to practice what we call diplomacy. create a good environment for your sister
like a outing and never even mention that you will talk about anythin related to what is going on. treat her like your best friend and in this mood, talk to her nicely to make her confront who is the real person of your fiance then she will correct the wrong idea she has. after that, you can do the same to your father. since then, each of them will have his own idea of your fiancee.
Yeah i think you should ignore her, you can live without her and if she really wants your dads attention so bad she can have all of it. eventually your dad going to miss you, plus if your happy with your fiance who needs anybody else anyways!?
your older than 26 and your concerned about who your dad likes the most..... hmmm maybe you should just let it go.
