[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The email was not the best idea to begin with, and honestly you are out of line for expecting your parents to join your outrage.  They've settled for the status quo - it wasn't your place to chastise your sibling, and it's not your place to be upset with your parents for going along with you.

In your shoes, I'd apologize to my sibling for meddling in her relationship with our parents, and get over feeling hurt by them. [/quote]

This is very true. Sorry, OP. It was your choice to send that letter, not your parents'. And they saw what it caused - four months of silence, which is less than what they currently have with her.

Are you a parent? Think of this as a mother, OP - they don't want to risk the relationship they do have with her. It is absolutely their right to make this choice, no matter what you did or did not communicate to your sister. Again, that letter was your choice, not you parents'. And the fact that they didn't back you up in this instance doesn't reflect anything about their love or care for you - it just reflects their fear of rocking the boat with her, and that's understandable in this context.

You need to respect your parents and the choices they make - they are adults. And you also need to take a step back and stop taking this so personally.
They have the right to manage their own relationship with their daughter. It doesn't mean they don't appreciate what you tried to do for them.[/quote]
