[quote=Anonymous]As usual, the more details are shared, the more it looks like OP has left out important information.

If you don't have a close enough relationship to ask her why she's been distant, I can see why she might prefer to spend the holidays with someone she feels close to.

I distanced myself from my family for several years and when my sister was ready to mend fences, she reached out, very simply, and we rebuilt a close relationship. But it worked because neither of us wanted to get hung up on blame and we both made an effort to meet each other halfway. It was a slower process with my parents, but again, with good will on both sides, it worked.

Has there been absolutely no response to her message with the travel info? It's strange that she agreed in the first place. Maybe this is her way of saying she's not available on those specific days but could try to see you guys sometime before, after, or in between? You really need to just ask her as non-judgmentally as possible.[/quote]
