I tend to give up on relationships with people in my family because I get tired of always being the one to contact them. When I left home at 19 it was not on good terms and they have sometimes said that they were doing what they thought I wanted by leaving me alone, but after all this time I call them and write to them and some of them have been writing back for a while, but even though I call them sometimes, it takes something major for them to ever call me, and my parents don't usually write back to me either. I've gone months and years without hearing from them at all. I regretted not having a relationship with them and have been working on getting it back. It's actually going fairly well now.

I don't know your sister and whether or not you have enjoyed communicating with her in the past. If you don't get anything out of it, maybe exchanging Chrismas cards once a year is all you would want to do with her, but it sounds like she cares enough about you to miss talking to you. What you do is up to you, but maybe you would want to consider what you might be able to do to make the relationship more meaningful instead of cutting it off entirely. But if all it is is a drain to you, then there is probably a reason for that too.
