Sisters abroad

[Lucylocket2]

I have two step sisters who live in the USA.
At this time I have a 6 week old son. I was very close to the middle step sister but that appears to have evaporated. We have a mum who has issues and unfortunately we fell out over her two years ago but since then we started speaking again, however recently (through my pregnancy and elapsed time) I have had one call and that was prompted by me. My other sister despite me calling her sends me short clipped e-mails one of which was in response to me telling her that I had to take my son to A&E adding that the outcome was fine - her response started, 'Thanks for the update', then went on to say she had a nice day at the beach with her daughter.

How would you respond to non-existent and lame responses. I feel utterly alone at moment with regards to them. Unfortunately I am reaching out to them as they have children and so was hoping they would give some tips and advice or just to feel a bond on circumstance. I am crying as I write this because in my heart I feel that they have cut me off over a silly argument two years ago.

Sorry you are going through this. I don't think I have the know how to help. But some will be along who can.

Have to talked to your sister about the argument? You say it was an argument with your mum that has been sorted. But you don't know what your mum has said to them.

So if you haven't I suggest you ring them up, say you have noticed this distance and asked if it is because of the argument. If so, talk to them about it.

If not and the just fob you off there is not much you can do.

Thanks Aussiebean.
I tried calling her this evening in hope that we could have this conversation but was out so left a message to call me back. Not sure if she will.

The argument was between me and my middle sister over my mum and how they respond to her given her 'issues'. I feel like I am always in the middle of them and my mum. It boiled over and came to head at a time when she came over for my mum's birthday. Its difficult because if I could erase that argument from history I would if I knew the outcome would be this.

.... sorry for the delayed response, just got off the phone with my sister and it all came out, hopefully by being honest we can move on from here... I could however hear my brother-in-law in the background having a go her for speaking to me. Its weird but I think the crux of it is that I need to resolve the issue with him as well to move forward.
