[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does she blow you off? If she cancels at the last minute for flaky reasons, don't make dates to see her. I have a sister like this and I don't go out of my way to talk to her or see her. [/quote]

OP here. She constantly cancels at the last minute for flaky reasons. She also only calls me when she needs something (usually childcare) or when she is driving a long distance and needs to pass the time. [/quote]

Infuriating, isn't it?  The only way to get over it is to not go out of your way. I used to drive two miles to see my sister when she and BIL flew in to see his family and just have her blow me off in favor of whatever came up with BIL's family. If she is in my area and wants to get together for lunch, I check my schedule and only do it if I am free.  I never ask her for favors. I do send her a card or call on her birthday. I do that for any one I care about.  No special treatment. That's the key to letting go of your resentment. She'll respect you more for it and perhaps it will lay a new foundation for a more equal peer relationship someday. [/quote]
