I have been estranged from my sister for several years (my instigation). In that time we have both had children (my eldest is only a few months apart from her daughter).
I sort of think I would like to re-establish contact with her.
I don't actually want a relationship with her, I think she's horrible. But our estrangement is awful and awkward for our parents and extended family and I'd like to make this less of a problem for them. Also, I think I'd like to be in her daughter's life as her mother is so selfish and crazy that the more people she has looking out for her the better.
So... any suggestions as to how I approach this? I don't have an address or telephone number for her (easily obtainable from my parents but would probably not want to involve them / raise their hopes at this stage). She is on Facebook though, so I could contact her that way. What do you think? And what would I say?
