Family pushing me to invite my sister to my wedding, but she hasn’t spoken to me in years

I don't know where to start, it's been a long time since we last talk. I know we both know that you want to moved on from the relationship we once had, and we both know i am the only one who's been taking advantage of what once we had. I'd always see you as my future but never the present.

I'd always see you as my future but never the present. — You and i were the same, we're just the opposite of each other but you always find a way to survive while me?

For those who stayed no contact with a parent until they died did you regret it?

I have complex feelings still. Some of it is the guilt of the scapegoat, internalising everything and feeling responsible for everything even though she was the adult and I was the child. Some of it i…

I texted her. Here's what I said. I hope this was honest and vulnerable enough.

I went through a very similar situation. Without sugarcoating, it sounds like you’re sitting yourself up for a huge disappointment and an even worse heartbreak (yes, worse). During my attempt to win h…

Thoughts?

I hope this won't come across too harsh but the reason it's a pattern now is because you didn't say anything, multiple times in a row, and instead did stuff yourself that you resented doing. The resul…
