Unfortunately this girl is so determined to avoid contact with the outside world that she never attends anything she is invited to. She refuses to come to any family dinners, birthdays (even my brothers birthday parties), Christmases etc no matter how many things she is extended an invite to, she just won't come along. My brother had to beg her for weeks to come to my wedding. It's hard to keep putting yourself out there and for years get no effort at all in return. It's hard to forge a relationship with a person who doesn't want anything to do with you.

Anyway, I am starting to see that I really have to just let it go for my own sanity and hope that she changes or that my brother changes his mind about her.

It makes me super appreciative of my relationship with my husband that's for sure!
