[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody cuts off a close family member without good reason. Nobody.

When you hurt people, don't expect to get away with it indefinitely. [/quote]

Your first paragraph is not a true statement. People cut off family members All the time for no particular reasons. We are born into a family. We don’t have to like all the family members. We can choose to leave the family or certain member in the family, and vice-versa. We can have reasons for our decisions or nine at all. [/quote]

I would say the first sentence may be true if you remove the word "good."  Sometimes people cut off close family members for "bad" reasons. For example, a controlling person may cut someone off because they want to manipulate them. That is their reason but it is not "good" based on the definition of the word.  [/quote]

Not for 10 years they don't try cutting someone off as a way to manipulate them. Six months of cutting them off, maybe. OP's sister clearly wants nothing to do with her, and from OP's snark about her sister's career, OP talking with BIL about her sister behind her back, and OP being MIA for at least one parent's final care, a picture of the sister's side is starting to emerge.[/quote]
