[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 321405, member: 7083"] Jo, you're much nicer than me. I tried to include family members in my life - inviting them over, making the long distance drive to see them, to celebrate their kids' birthdays. But, it was never returned. Not one of them ever came to my kids' birthday parties, or anything. Not even my father. I finally got tired of being the only one interested in making the relationship work and I stopped. I haven't heard from these people in years. They weren't interested, so why was I going out of my way for people who obviously didn't really care? I called it housecleaning and taking out the trash - the garbage in my life that I don't need weighing me down. I wasn't included and I was the only one making the effort. So, I stopped. I only want people in my life who want me in their life as well. I'm sorry you're sister is such a snot, but she is who she is and she's not going to change. You need to decide how much of a relationship you want with her. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
