Older sister is the only relative I have any contact with. She 53 - I am 48.
Our family life was very dysfunctional. Mother (who was very cold) is now dead, no contact with violent father for last 27 years. Brother very much like him - we both have had no contact with him for years either.
We are pretty close really. We are very different in so many ways, but generally get on. We always do something nice for each other's birthdays.
No contact from her today, no birthday card or mention of my birthday.
She is on holiday at the moment abroad, but she has been messaging me on whatsapp to tell me what the weather is like, etc. Last message was yesterday.
She did not mention my birthday before she went away last week. I was expecting her to give me my card early and suggest we meet up when she returns.
She has forgotten, but I don't understand how? I could never forget her birthday - holidays or not.
My husband asked me today if we had a fall out or something, he couldn't understand how she could just forget.
I'm gutted over it. It makes me feel like she doesn't care a jot about me, to not acknowledge it at all.
Am I being dramatic over this?
