[quote=Anonymous]If she doesn't like you and doesn't want a relationship with you, why are you so desperate to be connected? Because she's family? If she were a former friend would you be this obsessed?

You hate it and feel it's unfair, but it's time to accept reality and just move on. I think apologizing when you don't think you did anything wrong and claim to not know why will not help. Either she has told you all the things that hurt and you are minimizing them or she just can't be pleased. Regardless, you clearly feel you are innocent so move on.

My sister hated me from birth and wanted nothing to do with me. She would ignore me in a room if not insulting me. I accepted it. Suddenly in middle age she wanted a relationship. Turned out she needed things like POA and all sorts of favors. There is no foundation of love and trust. She tried showering me with gifts I never wanted, but you cannot buy love. There is no history of positive interactions, building trust, loyalty, etc. Being related is not enough. I still have a relationship with her though, I just make it clear it must be with major boundaries. [/quote]
