You know of course that the only reason it hurts at all is because you care. Maybe, just maybe, she thought you would reach out to her. I didn't say you should have though - I think she should have appologized before she left even.

However, she has always had you there to lean on and I don't know her, but I'm guessing she isn't so good at coping with life, and probably responds like a child a lot.

So, if you still care about her you might have to be the grown-up in the group and call her. You can tell her that you are still pissed, if you want, but you most likely won't hear from her unless you call. She's being the "spoiled brat didn't get the dream life" princess.

You have to decide if you want to play this game by her rules. If you don't, you are going to have to write her off.

Sorry for the assvice, but there it is...

Great video.

I’m sorry your sil is acting like this. I have a feeling that she is still not recovered from the incident with the bil. I think her self worth has taken a nose dive and sits about sea level. Which would explain her odd and what seems like childish behavior. You never seem to recognize WHAT you are doing, or WHO you are hurting. It all seems selfish, but I have a feeling that, because you are the bigger person, if you reach out to her….she will come back. You will find that friendship that you once had. I think she still desperately needs that shoulder to cry on.
People who are hurting seem to push EVERYONE away.
I hope you find it in your heart to forgive and forget.

Oh my gosh! I can’t believe she would act that way…but most of all, I cannot believe she hasn’t even called to congratulate you on the pregnancy or anything. It’s crazy how self-centered some people can be. Sad, really. I just keep thinking that, one day, they are going to wake up and realize what they have missed out on by treating people the way they do. My SIL has built a wall between us since day 1 and I’m finally to the point of giving up. Maybe one day she’ll come around but I’m not holding my breath.
Sorry you had to put up with that, especially during such an emotional time anyway with the transfer and everything. It must have been hard to have guests during all that. I’ve found that, while family is still SO important to me, I have some friends that I consider close enough to be family and I know they genuinely care about me and I about them and that is all that matters!
