She's not someone I want to get close with. She can be icy and dismissive right when that's the last thing a person needs. I don't want another taste of that. For years, she hasn't been much of a presence in my life. I'ld rather we be distant than have her give me an emotional gut punch again.
It's sad that someone in one's own family can be this way. That's why it's best to not even try to talk about how badly she behaved because she may very well just answer that with some kind of emotional gut punch. However, you can choose to remain cordial as you have to keep some peace. It's nice that you are close with your youngest sister and the two of you can share so much with each other.
