[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: worth mentioning that the wedding is cross country. Between outfits, hotels, rental car, flights, etc we’re looking at a $5k cost. Also, thought about just me attending so I can suck it up but leave spouse and kids out of it so they’re not in the line of fire..

Sibling says we’re close (or used to be) but I think they’re referring to when I was a pre-teen because I have zero recollection of closeness…[/quote]

Do you communicate with sibling regularly?  Or are they part of the estrangement?

If you have any ties you want to continue to keep, I'd go solo.  Leave your DH and your kids at home.  Or if you and DH can make a vacation out of it, beside the wedding, I'd do that too.

But if you are truly estranged, and not interested in a relationship with the entire family, I would probably skip it entirely.  It seems like a way to really solidify you are not coming back from this though, so I'd just want you to be sure.  It's a relationship ender in my mind, unless you are close to sibling to explain and have them agree it's best you sit it out.[/quote]
