Sister In Law

denOn Saturday Mum went to soccer to watch the kids of my brother's SO play, and she met my Sisterinlaw (married to another brother), who was there with my nephew.
Today Mum got this letter in the mail
"Dear R.
I thank you for your politeness and niceness on Saturday. I wish you well on your journey and hope things go well for you and the family. I am happy for you that you are enjoying E. and her children and you are happy. Enjoy what you have. Please leave me alone. My relationship with you has only ever been stressful. I love my life now. A."
The stress A. mentions is, to my mind, all imagined and one-way and comes from a small list of minor incidents that date back 10 years. There is so much more I could say but won't. I used to visit them at least once a month, but haven't done so for nearly 3 years. I see my brother and the kids occasionally, but I've spoken to her twice in that time.

Date: 14 May 2003 21:55 (UTC)sounds like a similar situation to what we had in our family, I was there and I saw what happened, yet over the last 17 years the way it's been allowed to fester, the person in question looks upon it as akin to a major major personal insult.. and she will not forgive or forget..
sad very sad, hope your Mum is ok
