[quote=Anonymous]My DH and his sister have never been close. We both live in the Washington, DC area. We never see eachother except holidays and that usually feels forced. We don't fight and there is no abuse. It just seems like there is nothing there. We have tried several times over the years and to no fruition. They just aren't interested. Are they estranged - I'm not sure. My in-laws are nice but emotionally not there. My DH thinks this is root of it all. This bothers me - I don't know why. There are moms at my kids schools who I am not friends with and it doesn't bother me. I've talked to my therapist about this lately because the holidays are right around the corner. DH says I just need to except this is the way it is. We've done nothing wrong. My question, then is, do we just stop doing these forced holidays? [/quote]
