Hey there;

Yeah it really sucks sometimes when family and friends become detrimental to us in our lives; I had to filter out people in my life that fit that description.

It never has to be forever, I find..if at any point I want to reach any of these people, I can try and contact them again, so I have that comfort since I struggle with anything that is truly written in stone;

Your sister must have hurt you really deep-I hate the whole acting like nothing ever happened thing too..it depends on what you're willing to tolerate. Its this hope that somehow one day the person will change, or validate, that makes me want to keep some hope of the relationship alive, personally. If you are trying to take care of yourself though, you can end up feeling selfish and have guilt-but I have found that one I stopped "connecting" with them, I really was able to live in a free-er feeling state.

There's no clear cut answer to these kinds of things-but in my opinion i hope you keep talking about it.... you'll find an answer that you can be the most happy with-you know, what benefits you the most;

take care,
-obj
