Hi cwymigi,

Yes, family dynamics can definitely be a rollercoaster ride all right, and I'm sorry you're hurting through it all, it's not nice, but these kinds of things aren't all that uncommon either. I think a lot of families grow and change, and not always in ways that we hoped.

I think at the end of the day, it's reached a point now where it's probably best just to accept the fact that your sister wants to go her own way. No doubt it wasn't an easy decision for her to make, but that's what she wants to do, so, if it was me, I'd respect her wishes. Things happen and you tried your best to bring everyone together but, as I say, I'd just respect her wishes now.

You'll get through it, don't you worry.
