make peace with my sister.

It was all about her needing to grow up, and me being patient and waiting until she came around. Now we get along great, and I’m so happy.

Never thought I’d be in this position. Alienated from my sister because of 3 little words. ‘I hate Dad.’ My sister had a violently emotional reaction to this (thankfully over the phone)and railed at me with some very hurtful words. This is not the usual for either of us. My sis was my number one fan & supporter—literally providing the house I now live in; holding me up with prayer, comfort and companionship through my divorce and the tragic suicide of my youngest son. NEVER did I think I could anger her so. I said what I said because it was the truth. I do hate my dad…THE WAY HE IS NOW. Sickly, self-absorbed and self-pitying, and weak. I fear the way he is now. I’ve no patience & I feel terrible about feeling that way about him. I needed my sister’s compassion and she felt like I’d slapped her in the face! & now though she claims to have forgiven me, we, who were once so close, haven’t visited since Thanksgiving. My nephews give me the cold shoulder, too (cuz I hurt their mom). I’m devastated by this. My faith and prayers are all I cling to. This is hard. I’ve been through harder…but this is a different hard. I’m going through this without her. Never in a million years did I think this could happen to us…
