I have a sister who is a compulsive liar. She also has a serious middle child complex and goes to any length to make me look bad, (this is much less of a problem now that we're older but it persists). She lies to other members of my family, taking advantage of their kindness and in general just isn't a good person. We don't speak. If she showed up on my doorstep without a place to go, I would seriously consider turning her away.

I don't treat familial relations as though they have any inherent worth. In general, I try not to put too much emphasis on things I can't affect, such as who my sister is. If she were any other person walking down the street, I wouldn't have anything to do with her because of her actions. Why should I take exception because of something that was completely out of my control? Of course, some of my relatives would be more likely to try to screw you over than a complete stranger. So maybe I got a jaded view of family.
