Marriage to a family with a complicated sister-in-law

My husband's family dynamics have caused tension in our marriage, with his sister's behavior feeling competitive and entitled, and his parents often taking sides.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known more about my husband's family dynamics before getting married."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be aware of the dynamics of your partner's family and communicate openly with your partner about your concerns."
