Anyone else got a sibling like this ?

Not heard a peep off my sister today, not one thing, not even to say happy Christmas to the kids, or to our other sister whose birthday it is !
She fell out with our mum at the beginning of the year over nothing major, it's just the fact my sister is a pisshead and started a huge row with her, hasn't spoken to our mum since. But to blank me, and our other sister is just wtf! How selfish can you be... I really thought she might try and make amends today with our mum, nope. Mum has sent a Xmas card and heard nothing back.
Yet she is all over our other sibling and their partner, calls them up every few days, called them Christmas Eve to say merry Xmas etc.
sorry just ranting as it's really fucked me off.

DH won't have reached out to his brother either for Christmas or his birthday last week. The reason being in his eyes, his brothers behaviour is unforgivable. We see the children when they are in the UK, as they have done nothing wrong.

I don't think BIL understands why DH is aghast as his behaviour... otherwise he wouldn't do it (it is due to his actions towards his eldest child, which we have a lit of contact with... we chose DN over BIL)

She seems to be presuming you are siding with Mum, which is really childish like unless you are with me you are against me.

Wishing siblings a happy Christmas is basic common courtesy, it is shitty not to in any circumstances. It is pointed that she didn't when she is in touch with other sister.

I don't know why OP is getting nasty comments here, she is upset her sister didn't acknowledge her, how on earth can that be her fault? If she didn't care about her sis then she wouldn't care about not being contacted.

DH sibling is like this, NC for years and for no reason other than he's an abusive addict

We've reached out the hand multiple times, to no avail

Our kids miss out, his kids miss out, but out of our control so best to let it go, you can't fix bad energy with bad energy
