[quote=Anonymous]My 43yo SIL who we rarely see (maybe once every two years) and do not communicate with frequently sent my parents a Xmas card.  In the card she includes a handwritten note which is very cryptic in nature and essentially blames my father for the fact her father (my FIL) will no longer visit us.  She alludes to something my father said in 2012 at Thanksgiving.  My parents didn’t even see my in-laws in 2012.

My husband and I were very shocked when my parents called to tell us about this card.  My husband called his sister and wanted to know what she was doing and why she sent this note.  She never really gave a good reason and she said her father (my FIL) is the one who told her this story.  My husband wanted to know why she didn’t at least call and speak with him first before sending this cryptic note which greatly upset my parents.  My husband told her she was out of line and his father should have spoken up if there was something bothering him (he’s in his 60’s, not feeble, a retired professional) and it was not her place to take this on.  He also pointed out they didn’t even see each other in 2012.

How would you react to all of this?  Would you try to get some answers or would you let it go?

At this point I don’t ever want to see her again – I think this was uncalled for and I think she’s a troublemaker.
