shell

As briefly as possible...she's the eldest of seven, our parents were both ill, she said she was too busy to help, dad died 6 mos. ago, she apologized for not helping, said she was a "bad" sister, then soon after got mad because out of 30 people to schedule, her husband was the only one that couldn't come to the family christmas celebration, so she banned it, called and yelled at me in January, I presented reality to her, she didn't like it, haven't talked to her since. Family wedding coming up...she'll be there. All of the rest of us get along fine. Feel we communicate great...she thinks we never communicate with her, EVER. Her husband and employees do everything for her. I know she might try to do the crying and please forgive me thing again or she may just never talk to me again. How would you handle it?

I see questions on here from young people desperate for help. Do you realize how many AREN'T asking for help? Look at what you hear about what kids are doing/saying? Why don't we mandate Life Skills education in middle/high school? It could include: self-esteem, relationship, communication classes. Think about how this impacts your whole life? It's almost more important than the three R's..
