Sisters..

[Blablabla05]

So I have stuck by her supported her and things are going well for her now. Managed to find her a job and through this she met the person she is marrying. Helped sort any problems she had.

Other sisters haven't helped her. She has always said bad things about them.

Today at my other sisters house and I noticed a birthday card on the shelf. A lovely message to thank this sister for her help and support.

My birthday was 5 days before hers.. I didn't receive anything.. a little card would have been nice..

I feel hurt and upset.

I can now see she sticks with whoever she can benefit from.

I will keep distance.

Am I over reacting?

Not at all op. Sorry, this must have been so hurtful to you. X

If it's worth losing a sister over a forgotten card then you're not that close anyway so you might as well step away. Just because someone is family if you dont like em you dont have to spend lots of time with them.

I'm very haphazard with cards and gifts with friends and family, as are they so it would not be something I wanted to throw away a close relationship for but I realise I'm in the minority with that. Dont base your decision on one card but if it's not a good relationship overall then do what's right for you.

@Buggeredpelvicfloor2013 thank you for your reply! x

@Boom45 I just realised she only contacts me when she needs something.. just been so blind to see it - it wasn't a forgotten card.. I actually just asked her and she said well I made you pancake when you came over.. which was so long ago..

I can now see she sticks with whoever she can benefit from.

Story of my life OP. It will never change. Cut your losses now and distance yourself.

@sruitfalad thank you for the reply. It's such a shame.. same I do think it will never change and need to toughen up. Not to let it get to me and keep my distance

Families can be really awful and mean. Just because your related doesn’t make you a nice person or best friends. Take your distance and concentrate on your immediate family 💐

Keep her at arms length OP, and no more helping her out.

Not nice. Have had my name left off cards if its from sisters and its horrible. Families are unreal. Suit yourself op now.
