You are 100% correct Rive. And this is precisely why I find my SIL so unbearable and nasty. For the last 20 years that I've known my husband these are the games she has played. Insult/attack family member, then do years long grudge where she pretends you are dead, then suddenly randomly out of no where, she'll suddenly reappear. I just want to look her in the eye and say "choose one! Either you act like we are family in spite of petty grievances or cut off all communication....BUT DON'T DO BOTH!" I can't stand this behavior! And she is extremely ballsy to think she can just waltz into my house for my daughter's occasion when she's treated us as dead for 7 years!!! I mean, WHO does that?? It's unreal! But the best advice came in your final sentence "she doesn't matter" so I will have little to do with her and try my best to keep the day joyous like it was intended.
