[quote=Anonymous]Wow. Clearly a lot of dysfunctional families out there reading over some of these responses, for anyone to think this is within the realm of normal is CRAY CRAY as my 16 year old daughter says:) ! I am Italian and most of us (all 7 of us, talk almost daily if not 2-3 times a week. ALWAYS.

I would not put up with any of my siblings treating my parents that way. At that age they are lonely as hell and rely heavily on contact with their kids. That's just the truth and anyone who wants to argue with me on that is just a selfish SOB. Sorry.

So OP to answer your question if you come form a tight knit very close family like my own, that kind of disconnect and that much time going by would unheard of!!! However if you come from  a family of dysfunction and where you dont' see or hear from each other often, then that presumably would be the norm.

Sounds like you are close and that is why you are hurt. You ahve every reason and it was brave of you to go up against your sister for your parents. I think they want to keep the peace and you need to understand that while you parents see you as the kind, caring one....they need to keep things ope with her too even if she  has mistreated them.

My mom always says everyone has to one day reckon with the person they were not only to others but themselves. Trust me your sisters day will come and she will deeply regret the neglect she showed your parents. But its really her problem to deal with not yours, just keep on being kind and giving to your parents. That is the best you can do.[/quote]
