Hi Sara

I had problems similar to this with my mother...

The way I handled it was I approached my mother and asked if we could meet (somewhere neutral) and talk through things and try and resolve our difficulties..she agreed and seemed to want to, but after about half an hour I realised it was a waste of time..I realised my mother had issues that were hers and nothing to do with me, and to enable me to move on and to stop beating myself up of why, I drew a line and have not spoken to her since...it's not been an easy ride and the decision wasn't taken lightly, but it's the best thing I ever did and I don't regret it one bit...

I didn't have children and I know it must be difficult if you do, but whatever her problem is it is hers and you have done nothing wrong..

Hope your find a way to resolve it, what does your sister think, I have a "favoured" sister to although I do have a good relationship with her but she fully understands and supports my actions..

Take Care
