Relationship With Sister

[papas32]

Hi lovelies! I came on here to ask a question and ended up answering other people's before I asked, how rude, lol! 😅

So, my question is: if you had a brother or sister who had let you down badly and constantly, how would you react if they contacted you to meet up for dinner somewhere? They don’t live nearby and are in my area staying with ‘friends’. I guess I’m not classed as a friend. 😒

I’m not sure whether to rise above all the letdowns , one being a last-minute cancellation of coming to my 21st birthday a few years ago with no excuse, just a “sorry I can’t make it,” and also hitting on my boyfriend more than once (and more than one boyfriend!). Other friends say if I don’t want to see her, just don’t go. So what, that she’s my sister? If she’d done that as a friend, she would no longer be a friend. PS: I’ve not seen nor heard from her for at least 3 years. Thanks for your advice! 💖

What would you do in my shoes?

I used to work on the bone marrow transplant unit and have seen all sorts (which is why I'm not joking) you can hardly relate not attending a  party to suddenly refusing to save your life If called upon to do so. I've seen people paying their relative to donate, a family outing enormous pressure on an eight year old to donate, someone who refused their brothers bone marrow because they didn't want to become manly, all sorts.
