What should I do about this broken relationship with my sister?
Friday, May 14th, 2010 at
History of sister getting mad, holding grudges, then keeping my nieces from me. She already promised to avoid our other sister, & hasn’t spoken to her in 5 yrs. Now she promises to add me to the list. She didn’t invite me to my niece’s graduation, & now I am missing all the summer activities. I love my nieces & used to spend a lot of time with them. They are 14 & 18 & it is breaking my heart.

You are not alone in this situation. That’s one thing to remember. Continue to send Bday, Christmas cards / calls etc w/out expecting a response from your sister. Make sure your nieces know they are from you. Communicate directly w/ them and attempt to make arrangements to see them (not your sister). They will appreciate your effort & know that you care. You’re sister will come around when she is ready to forgive. All you have to do is be there.
Try to make amends. My sister and I argued all the time and swore to never speak again. After 2 years of cold shoulders she passed away in an auto accident. The last thing I said to her was how much I hated her. Lot of regrets. If I knew then what I know now I would have put up with all of her antics just so I could be around and so that she would know that I love her.
The only thing that you can do is communicate and find out why she is so angry with you guys. And pray that she will eventually see it your way and realize that she is not only hurting you but she is also hurting your nieces. Good Luck
um..well have you talked to your sister at all about like why she’s mad at you???
or at least try to find a way to communicate with your nieces cause they are both old enough to talk to you too
especially the 18 year old so idk try reaching out to them and then maybe they will talk to their mom about talking to you again..i wish i could help more..sorry..but good luck
find out what they like, buy them some cool presents, I would patch up with anybody for a gift.
