Should I feel bad for my sister or angry?

My older sister never visits because she does not have kids and is not married.I am and she finds it hard to come over.She is the only family I have in my city.Should I feel bad for her or get angry that she never visits?It is very hurtful.

Answer #1

I’d drop her a note, ‘I miss the closeness, please whenever you feel comfortable drop over - it’d be great to have you’..this is to the point and puts it in her court but regardless, don’t get mad with her, she’s Family - and that’s most important..I wish you the very best !!

Answer #2

Usually the last thing a person wants is pity over something like that and getting angry is probably just going to make the situation worse. Have you talked to her about it? If you’re just assuming why she’s shy on visiting you might be misinterpreting something. Communication is key to any level relationship. Talk to her.

Answer #3

If you are sure that is the reason she does not visit, then personally, I think I would be slightly ticked off if I were you. Envy really should not stop her from coming over. If you two are family and want to be close, you should be, even if she does not have the same things that you have. She’s not a child, so she should be able to handle a little envy without getting all huffy and refusing to visit.

Keep in mind that it goes both ways though. You can visit her too, maybe even without the kids sometimes.
