Hello,
I'm looking for a bit of advice after mulling over this for a few weeks.
I need to be kinda vague as I feel some of the details may be outing.
I live in the UK and I am from North America. My family all live there, but I have my own family here now. I visit every single year.
I have just returned from a visit a few weeks ago and my sister was really pissing me off tbh. She's immature and has no social cues and although we have always been close, she does occasionally rub me up the wrong way. This particular visit I found her to be cold and very standoff-ish.
She has three children, two boys and a little girl, who I am especially fond of and she is of me. I have two kids of my own and my sister never dotes on my DD like the way I dote on her DD if you know what I mean.
Anyways my dilemma is this:
I came home from the visit and then discovered something my sister had done very recently which has betrayed me hugely and I have spent the last few weeks deeply upset and hurt about it. She doesn't know that I know and also hasn't bothered to get in touch since I came back to UK either so I think she possibly has a guilty conscience or she really just doesn't give a fuck.
I really want to cut off contact for a while as I am really hurt and need time to cool off. Also I want to punish her in a sort of way so she sees what she's missing out on, having a great sister like me ðŸ¤
The thing is, what about my niece and nephews? How to you cut your sister off and still have them in my life and see updates on them etc. I don't think she would care if I took my kids from her life, but I would care if I lost contact with her kids as I am just that kind of auntie and family is important to me.
Thanks for reading!
