About Me

My photo
I am a licensed therapist with a thriving practice in Illinois. As a youth I didn't have any friends but as I got older I found ways to make people like me. Since then I have taken it upon myself to fix other peoples' friendship problems. I like to drive long distances in my car with no destination in mind, just until the gas runs out of my car. Afterwards, I will often abandon the car and walk home.

Is My Sister Taking Me For Granted?

Hello Richard,

A couple of years ago, when my two nieces married, I organized my two sons and flew cross-country to attend their weddings.

This year, my son is getting married, and my sister is blowing it off. She said she’s too busy with her job as a teacher, but I note they’ve taken mid-year golf vacations.

I am considering phoning her to say it’s a family duty, but my son’s fiance said if they aren’t enthusiastic, then she doesn’t want them at the wedding anyway.

Should I guilt my sister into coming or realize that our family isn’t as tight as I once thought?

Gratefully Yours,

Susan



Hi Susan,
First of all, good job on producing two sons.  I tried to have sons and only ended up with daughters I had to disown.  Weddings are tricky.  

I say organize your own wedding, book a venue, and then invite everyone you know but your sister.  When everyone is having fun dancing to the band you paid for, eating the appetizers you had catered, your sister finally will understand the true meaning of the word: revenge.
