Family no longer family
Sooo long story short, I have two sisters. Both older. One is out of state, another is within an hour drive.
We were all pretty close until my toddler was about 2. Then my close drive sister and I started physically fighting each other. I no longer felt as though I could trust her around my child. We do not speak. If we do, we speak out loud, not to each other specifically.
The out of state sister I don’t speak to at all because during the physical alterations, she never reached out to me.
So I am now pregnant with my second child. I told my sisters and got negative responses.
My hour drive sister especially gave the most criticism. She then, two months later revealed she was engaged. No one including myself gave her any negative feedback.
In fact, every time we group message, it’s about the upcoming wedding.
Neither of them have uttered a word about my family, my pregnancy, my toddler, nothing.
My baby shower is in a couple months and I forgot that I even had sisters to invite. I’m so much within my boyfriends family, that they asked who in my family is coming and I stopped lol
I told my mother that I don’t feel like I really have a family on our side. She said it’s my fault because I don’t call them.
They only reason my sisters know the gender or name of my unborn is because my mom tells them everything I tell her.
So she told me I have to call my sisters and talk to them if I want to have a relationship with them. I said there’s no problem with them being happy for my sister getting married, but they can’t be happy for me.
They talk all the time but can never pick up the phone for me
Am I wrong for saying if they don’t reach out to me and aren’t going to be positive, then I don’t want them as family at all?
