So I have posted on another thread about discovering I have a half-sister. I'm 55 and she is 41.
My parents divorced when I was 6 or 7 and my father went to England to live and had a second family. As the divorce was acrimonious my mother always denied she knew where my father was or about any other children. As it transpires she was lying.
Anyway I contacted my sister and was delighted to know that my father had told her all about my younger brother and I. We had a flurry of messages and even a few phone calls.
That was almost 5 years ago. Since then communication has slowed down and it seems to be left up to me to make contact.
I message or email atheist 4 times a year and send Christmas cards. I always like her FB posts and alway wish her well on her birthday and her children's birthdays. She has 5 boys my 5 nephews.
However while she replies when I contact her she very seldom makes contact and has never wished me a happy birthday or anniversary and has almost never like a Facebook post of mine nor commented on it.
I really wonder is it worth trying to maintain a relationship with my younger sister.
