[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried hanging out with just her, or is it always large family gatherings?  Some people do better one on one.  Also, might give you a chance to build a better relationship with her.  I find large family gatherings a waste of time.  15 minute conversations with 10 people doesn't = a relationship IMO.  Nor does one large group conversation where everyone is just cracking jokes, but that's just my family.[/quote]

OP here. Sure I tried. We all tried. We figured we'd just invite her out one on one. Nope, doesn't budge. She will literally sit in a coffee shop and answer "Yes/No". She doesn't seem uncomfortable. She never initiates our meetings. I can't remember last time she called any of us or texted a simple "hey, what's up?" We always end up reaching out ourselves. Our last straw was with the baby. I get it, it's COVID, but at least send us pictures. If you need help, we can help. It hurts to be shut down like this. [/quote]

OP, how much of your life do you spend thinking about this?

It sounds like she wants to be left alone, why is it such a problem to just leave her alone?

Again, any insight as to why someone you call "odd" doesn't want to have anything to do with you?

OP: not communicating with others is odd. Not telling your family you are getting married is odd. Not showing pictures of  your child to the GRANDPARENTS is odd. When our father was diagnosed with COVID she was the only sibling who did not check in on him. No phone call, no text, no e-mail. She knew he was sick. Not responding to messages. Should I give you more insight?[/quote]

Sounds like your parents treated her shabbily and she is now responding in kind.  What goes around comes around.[/quote]
