[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I expect nothing back from my sibling or her kids. If they decide to want nothing to me, I accept that. I don't send big or grandiose gifts, but simple presents on the usual holidays/occasions, just like I send to all my other nieces and nephews (whom I have a great relationship with). I'm not looking to manipulate anyone, but if I'm sending Christmas gifts to 5 of my nieces nephews, it seems really odd to not send anything to the other 2. They're very young, so who knows if it even makes it to them. But again, I'm also looking to see how other people deal with these kinds of situations.

This sibling continues contact with me by sending me e-mails (to the whole family), updates, photos, etc, despite making it explicitly clear that I'd rather they not contact me. They have ways to tell me to stop sending a a gift to the kids 2x a year, I assure you. This isn't a sibling like we had some kind of petty disagreement. This is someone who has bipolar at the bare minimum, but likely a more severe personality disorder. I can't be a part of their rollercoaster anymore.
