[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don’t want a best friendship from her. I guess more so as we are heading into the holidays and will be forced to confront it, I don’t want to continue to be uncomfortable. I keep trying because family should try and if I don’t try at all, it will just be silence in the room. There’s been some great advice here and I appreciate the feedback. I probably just shouldn’t care anymore and let the chips fall where they may. [/quote]

You are bothered she doesn’t like you. For whatever reason, and yes it could be she is a giant B. Stop directing any questions AT her. Speak to other people in the family. Be cordial with a “oh how was this or that?” but definitely expect one word answers. Then follow up with “that’s great!”  You can choose to ramble about your kids if you want, but again, she will not engage. You may actually be able to draw her out more with SILENCE. If it’s you and her in the room, check Instagram or bring a book. Let the silence marinate. If you can’t take it, find your kids.

Basically find anything else to do BESIDES talk to her. Say hello, hmm, nice, great, then say goodbye. [/quote]
