v briefly, as it's too hard to give an objective outline of the last 20 years. little sister and i were never that close as teenagers, we are quite different. dad died in our teens, we were both ill afterwards and she resented the attention i got, apparently. we did different things at uni, she got married and emigrated. they have no money and live in poverty - he keeps losing jobs and my family are forever paying off credit cards etc. they also help us out so its not a competition on that front. she has never wanted any closeness, never responded to me trying to be sisterly and i find her prickly and not girl friendly (she has v few female friends). last year, we put off an antenatal Kings hospital appointment to travel to my mums as sister came over on a rare visit. we knew that our baby was possibly disabled. this was apparently annoying for her as she had looked forward to a holiday and yet again i was getting the attention. Anyway, we left early as she refused to acknowledge us after a few days.
I could go on and on with my side, but anyway. Last night mum rang ranting about sister's dh again, and we ended up rowing. I think she should leave rather than stick it out leeching off everyone, mum is bitterly hurt that sis and i don't speak. I did write after the holiday fiasco and she never replied. What now?
