[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. My sympathies, OP. I am completely estranged from my DB for a similar reason. It's all stupid, but in families, there are things you can't change.

If you want a relationship with your sister, you have to apologize and just accept the fact that the relationship will be on her terms, and yes, she will be rude and disrespectful, but that's the price you will pay for having a relationship with her.

I was not willing to pay that price, but I'm paying anyway by not having a relationship with DB, who is my only sibling. It's sad for me, but at this point it's more painful for me to put up with my DB's rude behavior than for me to have no contact with him.

Your sister does not sound amenable to reason. Who knows, maybe she is taking out problems she's having with job/life/marriage/whatever on you. I think that's the case with DB, but in that case, there's nothing you can do about it. Your sister won't change, so you have to. Sad, but that's the way it is with some people, even ones you love and care about and wish they cared about you the same way. [/quote]
