[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op your sister has always been distant. You can't change her.

If you are resentful that you call once a week, then call once a month.  I would be resentful as well with a one way relationship.

The relationship between your Dad and your sister is their relationship.  It isn't yours to manage.  You go to Christmas if it's important to you but your sister is free to make her own decisions.

If you don't understand the email then send one back and ask her "What does this mean, are you now not coming for Christmas?".  It's ok to ask.  You say the dates are for Nov and Dec.  Is she expecting something around those dates, or is she simply not coming, just ask her.

You need to let go of the relationship you want with her.  You have different expectations and that's ok.  It may be hurtful but if you adjust a little maybe call her once a month you will feel less resentful.  At some point you will have to come to accept that this is how she is and how she has chosen to live.  See her when you can but let the holidays go, they aren't as important to everyone.[/quote]
