Not to be used!

My sister used to be a very caring...give you her last penny...kind of a girl but that all changed when she met her new partner. Us sisters had always been close...however embarking on our own lives etc meant we did drift apart. I always made the effort to text or email all my sisters to see how my nieces & nephews were. Sister 3 is now only in contact when she wants money. We can go months where we have no contact as I have stopped messaging as regular as it always leads to money. I has not long finished Mat Leave & start work next week...so I'm in no position to lend money...hence why she doesn't contact me.
Am I right to feel a bit used when she does call & all she wants is money...not to see her me or her nephew are?

Why has it changed since meeting her new partner do you think?

Rogers1 · 13/10/2011 08:51

He is very work-shy & due to that every place they have lived...the utilities have been her responsibility & I feel this has made the debt she had even worse.
I'll admit...I had minimal debt from a business I had but I worked 3 jobs & paid I off-sacrificing luxuries etc.
I try offering advice to her but it's always about money.
