[QUOTE="Dufster45, post: 681457, member: 20136"] I hope I am in the right place, my heart is breaking over the pain I'm feeling. I have two adult daughters, both now in their 40s. They are 4.5 years apart. They have never been close (felt by the younger one actually). They had, what I see as "normal" sibling squabbles as children, but the younger has never let go of anything. My oldest has always had many friends, but my youngest made poor friendship choices when younger, and unlike her sister who has close friends from elementary school, high school, college, and from every job she has had. My older always included her sister in parties given by her friends, had her with her on vacations, etc. I must admit, though painful, 20 years or so ago, I had a drinking problem. I went to AA and that is now in the past. When it was going on, my youngest wrote painful letters to me, there was no compassion whatsoever. My oldest was upset at time, of course, but did not speak to me in same manner; she just wanted me to get help. Youngest was married, divorced and now has wonderful husband. Oldest was maid of honor each time. Younger unable to have children and oldest never married. Youngest stopped speaking to her sister for six months years ago, and sister surprised her at a birthday dinner my husband and I gave her, apologized, and time passed and they got along. Youngest now has not spoken to her sister in seven months, and says she never will. She has told me her sister is toxic and she needs to have her out of her life. My oldest was crushed, but after all these months, she has accepted the situation. My youngest, said when she broke the relationship, she would be cordial at family holiday gatherings. We have had Christmas and she was. She never speaks her sister's name or asks about her. Oldest asks what her sister is doing.
