However, as stated by Eleazar, she cannot as easily influence the emotional ties of people when those ties are stronger than just friends or acquaintances. She could not have changed the way Bella and Edward felt about each other, for example, or the ties between a true family. (emphasis added)
If this is accurate, she shouldn’t have been able to cut the tie between Bella and Elspeth, although Edward and Elspeth weren’t nearly as close.
The thing about a “true family” is speculation only in canon, never tested; the wiki is promoting it to law. Granted, it’s speculation by Eleazar, but in context I think it’s reasonable to read it as him reassuring Tanya.
Even if it isn’t strictly canon, I hardly think it’s a horrible thing. Your Chelsea makes for a more interesting character, even if she is extremely creepy and most likely at least partly responsible for over a million murders.
If thats true why hadn’t Chelsea been told to cut the ties between the Cullen family before Bella screwed everything up? Were they perceived as not enough of a threat before that?
Edward would have noticed her doing that. Addy didn’t join the Volturi until a ways into the timeline of Luminosity, so they still had to add to the guard voluntarily then, and an unprovoked attack on the family would not have been conducive to this plan.

The Twilight Saga Wiki has this to say about her power:
