This family member, who is in her current support system, and knew about her A all along, had tried to manipulate me after BD (pretending to help but was actually trying to groom me so that D process and post-D life is just as she would have wanted) and also talked [censored] about me to someone important.

It is unusual that she has told me about the achievement. Knowing her, I am sure she wants me to congratulate that family member, although she has not told me that directly. Should I go ahead and congratulate in a word or two? Otoh, she has been shitting on my family members because they have kept away from this entire sitch.
