Good Morning GOLO friends! I need your advice, opinions & input. My sister-in-law is a drama queen. She has been a part of my life for 30 years. There have been many things said, many things forgiven and much water under the bridge. Well...I will try to make this as short as possible. She calls me when bad stuff happens, but I don't hear from her when there's nothing to complain about. As most of you know, I have a very complicated life. I always find time for her. But when I need her - well let's just say she's busy. On Christmas eve the poop hit the fan. She was mad about something and came in to the "gathering" and did not speak to me. Well, of course, I acted like it did not bother me. She called the next morning to apologize. I didn't answer the phone. She left it on voice mail. I ignored it. Well, she called again a few hours later - said again that she was sorry and wanted us to come over for lunch. This was @ 11:30. I still did not answer. I already had other plans. This woman drains me. I listen to her complain about her husband, her job and whatever else she is miserable about. I am tired. I informed her via email that I forgive her (again) but I do not have it in my heart to let it go this time. I consider our "friendship" to be over. She is still family and I will be nice, but my dedication to her is gone. I feel I have to do this for me. I love her, but I love myself, too and at some point I have to get rid of some of the negativity in my life and think about me.
What are your thoughts on this? HELP!!!!!
