I'm really sorry to hear that you are having problems with your sister. I feel for you as I do not get along with my older sister. She said to me once that she was jealous of me. Of what?! I don't understand how someone could be jealous of a sibling!

She and I got into a big fight via email about 4 years ago. She dragged her husband into it and he started sending me nasty-grams too. When they tried to drag my husband into it and I nipped it right then and there. I blocked their email address so the fighting would stop. It wasn't worth arguing and it was just making me hysterical. To this day, we rarely talk (she's in Houston, TX and I'm in WV). We just don't have a close relationship...never have and probably never will. I'm closer to my sister-in-law than my actual sister. It's sad, but I've tried all the stuff you're supposed to do...forgive, forget, be the bigger person, etc. and I continue to get insulted. So I decided to distance myself from it. I think the straw that broke the camel's back was when she said my IBS was all in my head (hateful)!

I wish you the best...good luck!
