Im one who basically disowned my family due to lack of support. my sister could say some very mean and nasty things to me and I did not need that in my life. so I just keep my distance. I don't make plans with her. I don't call her. if she calls me, I am cordial, I listen to her problems but I don't become emotionally involved. I just don't need the drama. I don't believe that blood is thicker than water. I have good friends to support me who understand what I am going thru. I don't need someone who is going to drag me down in my life. take care.
