>>>It's hard to respect someone's feelings about wanting to be left alone while still making it clear that the door is open and the welcome warm should they change their minds. Quite a tightrope.
Exactly. And right now I don't want to talk to her if I'm just going to get slapped down. So I'm not sure I'm capable of a "warm welcome" but I certainly do not want to lose another sibling in my life.
She has had some medical issues crop up and I'm sure this is not helping her make rational decisions.
Thank you for your advice and support.
And yes, I'm thankful I have my therapist in my corner, even though it feels like I push her away more than I let her in.
