This is a very long story and I'm no sure what I'm hoping to gain out of this.
Basically my sister has always been pretty horrible to me since I was a child, she's weirdly jealous, spiteful and bitchy about anything and anyone and has tried to negatively impact every positive experience in my life to date. She's pretty unkind in general, which really saddens me. I envy my friends relationships with their sisters. She's draining to be around and only really engages in proper conversation if it's putting someone else down.
I'm currently no contact with her but am sick of the awkwardness with my parents, if I ask what they are up to oh we are going to see your sister. Que awkward silence and then trying to get me to contact her.
I don't care for a relationship with her and I certainly don't want my DD to be close to her at all, but I almost want to clear the air with her and break the no contact just to stop my parents making every situation awkward. They are very controlling and my relationship with them has also taken a massive step backwards.
The nail in the coffin for me was when she was pretty unkind after I had a late miscarriage, rather than give a shit about my feelings or health as I was hospitalised she was more annoyed that I was trying for a baby- god knows why. My mum let this slip once and I can never forgive her or my sister for being so fucking heartless.
Fast forward to the most recent issue before the no contact, she got married and wanted my DD to be there. (Basically as a photo prop) I wasn't allowed to bring a pram or unsightly baby bag and the only baby item would be a high chair...she was 3 months and couldn't sit up...unsurprisingly this ended in DH and I agreeing not to go to the wedding. She was fuming and embarrassed that we didn't go, also because the grooms sister didn't attend due to my sister having a disagreement with her before the wedding...shocker! Deep down I think she wasn't hurt that I didn't go but more embarrassed as to what people would think.
My parents are still angry I didn't go and mention it constantly.
My pride is stopping me from contacting her as she will instantly announce that I'm guilt for being wrong because I contacted her etc etc, all very juvenile. Do I put the grown up pants on in this situation and just make peace or continue to ignore her?
I'm currently ttc #2 and I could do without any added stress as my last pregnancy was very complicated and high risk.
Thanks in advance.
