[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They want to see me at a family Easter gathering[/quote]

Go to the gathering. Work, do your part, to make it drama-free. For the whole next year, re: this sibling, work to make it an entire drama-free year.  Maybe by next Easter it will be an ordinary experience for you two to be in each other's company.[/quote]

The sibling doesn’t want to see me; in fact, they are not coming because I’m going to this Easter event. There is a separate gathering hosted by my sibling for everyone on the family except me.

Also, and I know it’s impossible to gauge in an anonymous forum, but I’m not very dramatic. I’m an introverted person, I am not someone who seeks out confrontation, I am someone who is pretty deliberate about not asking for people to help me and being self reliant.

Worry about your own relationships.  Accept your sibling doesn’t want to see you, accept it, and move on.  Others are allowed to have a relationship independent from your with sibling.  As long as they aren’t “getting in the middle” there is no reason for you to be bothered.  Just move on.  Invite who you want to see over your house or out somewhere.  Accept abs move on OP.  The worst thing you can do if force a relationship on someone that doesn’t want anything to do with you or to try and manipulate those around you to not visit sibling bc of how you think they treated you.  You have nothing to do with their relationship [/quote]
