Thanks for your advice. First I want to express my sorrow at your parents passing when you are so young. Otherwise we do have things in common regarding the way our sisters treat us. My sister has done some pretty mean things to me in the past and I think I've just taken it and not fully expressed how I feel to her (until our recent argument when I just lost it). Like you, my sister treats me like a child sometimes too and I'm 47! I have decided to leave the ball in her court and not contact her anymore. I did send her a forward after the e-mail but with no note. I didn't hear back from her. I just feel like the time is now to try to mend fences. But my hands are tied if she is not ready.

Thanks again for replying to me. It means a lot to me.
My mom has been gone almost 20 years, so I do ok now, but thank you. I still think about her, and my dad, but I'm done with the grieving process. The only thing is, I feel like I don't know what it's like to have parents. I know that this sounds strange, but my mom passed when I was young, and my dad wasn't much involved with me, until a year before he passed. I have panic disorder, so I can't deal with drama to much. My sister loves drama, and I can't deal with it. You know I might just try therapy with her, if she's game for it. The way she is though, I just don't know. I know that I can admitt to my mistakes, but she needs to admitt hers to. I think that we all helped each other out on your thread.
