[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 543841, member: 84"] Tedo I'm in the same spot with Katie. Katie is talking to Nichole on good terms. easy child is still furious with Katie and wants nothing to do with her. I'm waiting to see if Katie is going to respond to the letter I sent not too long ago. (can be many reasons why she hasn't, so not worried about it) These things happen in families, even close knit ones.......maybe especially in close knit ones because those with looser relationships don't tend to care so darn much what each other do. But if left to fester, such things can rip even the most loving family apart at the seams. S2 can do no more than she's done, apologize and try to behave better. It's understandable that S1 is still angry (but probably more hurt than angry). But it's high time to hoover it up and deal with it one way or the other. And this is where I'm at with easy child as well. She has every right to be angry at her sister, but honestly the incident from which her hurt/anger stems was a decade ago, not from Oct of last year. It's high time for her to hoover it up and deal with it already and move on. People make mistakes. Some people (myself included), tend to make enormous mistakes when they make one. Only thing they can do later is to try to correct it by an apology and acting differently. Your S2 has done so. Katie has done so. I've already told easy child should katie want contact again she is welcome here at all family functions whether it bothers easy child or not doesn't matter. This is katie's family too. And it's not right nor fair to make other family members suffer or feel they need to choose. easy child knows I will not tolerate rudeness or drama. So Katie and the kids could easily enjoy a family gathering. At most easy child would just pretend Katie wasn't present. Because if it went beyond that, easy child would be asked to leave. This is now between S1 and S2, just as it is between Katie and easy child. Rest of the family hasn't nothing to do with it and don't deserve to be drug into it. Know what I mean?? Me? birthday plans would include everyone. S1 has an issue with it, she can stay home. But you [B]did[/B] invite her, so it's [B]her[/B] decision. Not your problem. This is the only way I know to actually help resolve such family rifts. It's the way my grandma handled it.......and it always worked eventually. Hugs [/QUOTE]
