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

Sounds like my sibling. Also probably with some form of some personality disorder. After a while I cut them off (a few years ago). They continue to try and contact me (because they want something, even if it's just for the attention of it), even though I made it explicitly clear that I have no interest in pursuing some semblance of a relationship with them. It will always be dysfunctional and draining (I have a very normal, healthy, and easy relationship with our other siblings).

It sucks. It can be sad. But sometimes you just have to focus on moving forward with your life, even if it's without your family member. You have to surrender the fallacy that the sibling you want/need will never, ever exist. [/quote]
