[QUOTE="Mechdonna2, post: 599680, member: 16068"] Dashcat, I know it is somewhat confusing about the trip. About eight months ago, my sister said she badly wanted to take a flight to Orlando and drive to the gulf coast for a few days. She asked me if I wanted to go with her and a couple of her friends. Her husband has no interest in taking a trip to FL, so it was going to be a girls only trip. Her friends could not go. Later my son came to town with all his issues. My sister disagreed with me about his situation. There were a couple of times that we were not speaking. Last week she called me telling me that she and her only daughter were going to the Gulf Coast for a few days. I said that I thought I was supposed to be going, also. She said that she did not think of me when she planned the trip. She said there were times recently when we were not speaking. She apologized through e-mail and said she made a mistake by not including me. She was leaving in a few days and I could go, if I wanted to. But, since the trip was presented to me at the last minute, I did not have the available funds. I told her that an apology done through e-mail was insincere. She has not spoken to me since. One of the things I learned through this ordeal is to never apologize for something serious through e-mail. Before the disagreement about the trip, I told my sister that our 85-year old mother was quickly becoming more frail. I did not tell her about the problems with my sister. I found out today that my sister told her everything. I think it was a selfish thing to do. My mother says she is strong enough to handle problems, but I have lost even more respect for my sister.
